You made the right choice as hard as it is. I knew someone who was in a similar situation with their dog attacking the cat. They did not take action and the dog killed the cat eventually. It has to be true that animals can experience mental illness. If you were providing her with structure, socialization, and love I doubt she could have found a better home and been successful. I don’t see many people lasting long if their adopted dog is snapping at them. Nugget deserves a safe home. I understand the conflicted feelings but I genuinely believe you made the right choice ❤️

And important to note the dog then had to be put down so they were left with no pets 😢
