"I very much hope to hear good news from you soon that FR was able to help."
FreeRepublic was a huge help in many ways. My husband is home for a day and a half. He thinks he will be back in the U.S. again in July and has decided to wait till then to move us. (He got more than an earful.) The current plan is to have my dog work with a local professional to deal with his fear aggression problem so that he will be more easily able to be re-homed when we move. Freepers have helped me with lots of great advice and resources, as well as helped me keep my mental health through this trauma. I don't know what I would have done without them.

Praise God for the work opportunity! What mixed emotions! May He find the right place for your beloved pet and for all the other pets and families in similar heart-wrenching situations.

That sounds wonderful!! I hope you'll keep us updated on his progress. He holds a rather special place in my heart & I am so happy that you are going with this choice.
If you are allowed - it would be great to see some pictures of him in training. He is such a handsome fur kid!!!

I am really, really glad to hear this.
Some people don't understand that pets can become “furbabies,” and dealing with a pet's behavior problems can pose many of the same challenges as dealing with a behavior problem in a child.
My sincere best wishes to you as you seek to retrain your German Shepherd to be ready for a “forever home.”
