I should have mentioned this in the post, but left it out. I tried a lot to make my husband a better owner. I told him he needed to be strict. I offered to pay for his training but husband didn't think it was worth it. The dog often used to poop around the house, wasn't crate trained and had severe separation anxiety. It let to a lot of property damage as well, and all that while I told my husband to train the dog or pay for getting him trained. But he just won't listen.

As for me, it was hard for me to accept a dog like that, since I wasn't the one who rescued him. I wanted to get him sterilized but husband never did that either.

I know it comes across in the post that I was a cruel bitch who wanted to make my husband leave his dog. What I failed to describe is exactly how careless and carefree my husband is to his pet. I have a pet too since before we got married. And I have regular vet's appts, have strict rules that my pet has learned to follow.

Put yourself in my shoes and think if you're faced with an adult wild untrained unneutered dog even you would have a hard time developing affection towards the pet. We are exceptionally rational and logical when it comes to strangers on the internet. We forget there are a lot of grey lines involved in any aspect of life.

As for husband picking another rescue dog, he should not. Not until he is confident he will take care of his pet, not just adopt him out of love and only fulfil the basic necessities (food and water). Having a pet is a responsibility and a commitment. When you bring home a pet you owe it to the animal to take care of it. Of you cannot do that, the pet will be better off with someone else.
