Owning a dog, regardless of it's past, is taking on responsibility.
The OP has not even tried to "cure" the dog of it's fear. She's only yelled at it and pulled on it's collar.
If someone is not going to be responsible and properly train their dog, they don't need to have one. So many dogs out there misbehave because they have ridiculous amounts of anxiety that can very easily be dealt with if the owners took the time to try to understand where it's coming from and get with someone who can help them. (i.e. a professional)
Giving a dog drugs without even TRYING anything is not helping the animal in any way... and she just shrugs it off "well he's already 10! he'll be dead in a few years so I give up.. I'll just keep yelling at him if his drugs don't work"... riiiiight.
What alternative methods have you used really, besides yelling at him, pulling his collar and asking for professional help on a message board? Just curious.
I get the feeling you just came here looking for someone to justify what you already wanted to do anyway.

Co-sign. And it looks like she might be getting a new one, too:

Wait, you have a dog who you already have to dump off because you work all day, and are considering getting a puppy? do you have any idea how much time and attention a puppy needs?
