They may be able to rehab it. Worth a call anyway. It's in the Ann arbor ypsi area so it's a bit of a drive but if they can help and find it a new home it'll be worth it imo .

Called they can't take dogs from out of their area. I hope we can come up with someone to take him.
I took on a rescue that is dog, mangy cute mutt (think "Lady and the Tramp" he's Tramp) aggressive for the same reasons as what you described, he's scared to death. Problem is, now we're convinced he's killed before, he's very capable and when a loose dog approaches him even when on a leash, I fear for their lives.
The gate accidentally got left open the a couple of months back, during a late season blizzard mind you, I heard a ton of commotion and I ran out in shorts, with no shoes on in the snow to pull him off of TWO DOGS, the owner was very understanding and knew the story, but I feel awful.
I'm going through the same struggle, he's awesome when he's not around other dogs, can't socialize him now he's so dangerous. I hate muzzling him and now he's starting to dig and escape so leaving him alone is getting dicey too.
Hands are tied, but we love our furry creatures, I'm going to try and solve this with more muzzling and socialization until he realizes. Though, if he's killed before it might be a losing battle.
