my husband got an akita becuse i wouldnt let him train mine. so i got stuck taking care ofr his badliy trained nuraotic puppy who after our divorce became an uncontollable nurotic dog . when left alone she screamed when left unattnined for a few minutes while i got the mail or chasesed the nieghbors dogs way she would pull out laundry form a basket or open up drawers the get laundry to pee on. She would growl and bark and freak out the whole time my friends were over even after hours of them being there she even snapped at one frined . she had skin problmes and needed expensive food and bi-montly groomings with special shampo's . i dealt with her on my own for a year I am broke no savings nothing I lost my job and had to use my school money (finacail aid )to buy dog food and vet care but the last straw was she began peeing on my bed and sunday night she pee'd on my dogs ashes I cant afford her cant controll her and cant help her so I took her to the aspca. am I a bad person for this ...........

No your not a bad person you tried unlike some people that would not of bothered and he just dumped the dog with you

No I don't think that you are a bad person for giving the dog to aspca. Its better for the dog to be given to the aspca then your local animal shelter, who will probably end up euthanizing the dog after sometime. If you can't properly take care of the dog or train the dog yourself, then its better for the aspca to take care of the dog who can find an owner who will train the dog properly and give the dog the love and care it deserves. So no, I wouldn't say that you are wrong or bad in doing so. Most people would probably just leave the dog outside and not take care of it or just dump it somewhere and leave. You did the right thing.

You're not a bad person, you're just a bad dog owner (both you and your husband). A lot of people are. Inexperienced dog owners should never get dogs such as Akitas. They needs lots of training, exercise, and should not be "coddled", otherwise they will think they are dominant over you (peeing on the laundry, not accepting of the people you have over).

You and your ex-husband should have had her professionally trained when you got her. There was still hope for her, but it's too late now. Is the shelter you dropped her off a gassing shelter?

Well you and your husband took her in as a responsibility together, and if he is a marine you would know he would be away for much of the year. Meaning you would be the one training her. Looks like no one bothered to train her at all, judging by the way she was acting, and you never called in a professional trainer to work with her. If she doesn't get put down in the SPCA (unlikely, due to her behavior) then she might get a home where her new owner can deal with her problems.

No i don't think so.
You gave her to a rescue center where they can re-home her, if you had abandoned her on the streets or hurt her that would make you a bad person but you did the right thing.
If you couldn't afford her or control her and you didn't really want her it's much better for both you and the dog for her to go to a new home.
Don't feel guilty.
