NO. Don't put him down. All dogs from the shelter should have at least one happy home, and now's the chance to give him one.
If he's only been home for less than 24 hours, he could still be freaking out by moving once again. I mean, could you be in his place of moving seven times in one year? Exactly. He probably had been abused, hence the way he freaks out whenever there's a slightest noise. I think he'll gradually get more used to it when he gets used to his new home. You need to do your research. Look for obedience classes, if needed. Do anything you can in all the spare time you have to make it work. You said he did well in the kennel. You should consider crate training him or buying a dog run to see if he does any better. Do some bonding. Take him for long walks where you know there will be no people around to distract him. If he does good, remind him. Tell him good dog if he sees a cat and loses interest. Give him treats if he's being good. I really think this is just a phase. But you have to be patient if you want the dog you said you fell in love with before he set foot in your home.(: Do your research! Good luck! |
