The brave and right thing to do. Imo.
I hope the former owners agree to the vets.

Quietly, I was asked, rather than take him back, would we please PTS instead.
By whom?
I would suggest contacting the rescue who rehomed him to the previous owner.
Some dogs have a dual chip and the details of the rescue remain on the database along with those of the new owner. Vets should scan before euthanising.
See Tuk's law.

That annoys me tbh, there are far worse things than can happen to a dog than pts. Being passed around various homes unsuccessfully, or spending months if not years in kennels being 2 of those things. I really dislike a professional, calm pts being compared to being beaten to death or involved in dog-fighting.
Someone that knew where he’d come from and what he’d be going back to.
I don't want to derail JB's thread when she will obviously be very upset at how things have turned out.
But - remind me, Bo's problem is what exactly? Leash reactivity?
Thanks C but don't worry I'm a tough cookie, if it helps anyone else who might be reading this with a similar situation then I have no issue with it.Possibly an unecessary derail as Bo is nothing to do with this thread. Maybe pm TW, or start a new thread? And I know I'm not the forum police but trying not to be insensitive.

Thanks, it just feels like it's so quick to make such a big decision.To be blunt JB, you’ve tried - it’s not worked, through absolutely no fault of your own. And you’re absolutely making the right decision.
It isn't me that keeps dragging Bo's name onto the thread.

What?
I think you missed the point by a mile.
The vet should scan before PTS. When he/she does scan, JB might not be the registered keeper on the chip; or she may be but the rescue may also be registered and will need to be notified and consent to PTS.
I have suggested contacting the rescue.

Nothing to apologise for TW, all experiences have been helpful and I enjoy hearing about your journey with Bo xI’m sorry you feel I was dragging him into the thread. We can only try and share experiences which might help. Yes, he has leash reactivity, but there were many smaller issues as well, which we have been able to overcome luckily.
I apologise JB if anything I’ve posited hasn’t been helpful. I don’t pretend or otherwise to be an expert.
Is the rescue the official owner or did the person who gave Rocky to JB become the owner? If the rescue were the owner why did JB get him from the previous owner?
I hope it works out for you and Rocky but if it doesn't, there is no shame in that. He is a young dog with many years ahead of him and it would not be good for you to be stressed for the next 10 years or more.
If you feel he needs to be rehomed, please contact the Rescue that he came from rather than try to rehome him yourself. There is often a clause in the adoption agreement that the dog must be returned to them.
I have no idea.
