I started crying when I read this. He's a good dog, I couldn't take him with me after I moved out because the only apartment that would work with my credit doesn't allow excessive noise, and he barks a lot when I'm away from home. Whenever I adopted him I was working from home, and then after that when I lived with other people he pretty much always had someone around. He knows how to get out of a crate and has terrible separation anxiety, he'll chew everything in sight. He's only aggressive towards strangers, or when children act erratically around him. Which I know doesn't really help his case. I just wish I could find someone who was home a lot and didn't have children. But even then, he can't be trusted to be around other dogs or the general public. So it would have to be someone that lived somewhere remote. All the local shelters are closed for tonight. I'm just really holding onto hoping that I can find someplace that can work with him.

Honestly this dog may not be adoptable. I had to do a behavioral euthanasia for one of my dogs about 3 years ago. She was beautifully trained in obedience and had multiple titles in.

It started out with aggression towards strangers. I took her to a trainer who used an e-collar in training and she was fine for about a year after that training program until she started showing aggression towards her family members. I later learned that the trainer just suppressed her aggression vs ‘fixing’ it.

About 90% of the time she was a normal, non aggressive dog. But you could see the switch in her eyes and she’d go from enjoying getting a pet to trying to take your hand off. There was no rhyme or reason to it. The last straw was when my son got off the couch to go to the bathroom and she came out of another room and attacked him completely unprovoked.

We tried medications, other trainers, etc but in the end she was not a safe dog. It was not a training issue but something off with her brain chemistry. It killed me to do it but it was not safe for my family and it felt unethical to rehome her and endanger someone else. Her vet team also agreed with my decision.

Another vote for Commerce. I've used them since I moved here in 2012 without any issues. I recently had to deal with a fraudulent use of my card. Their customer service was excellent and I got my new card printed at the bank the next day.

I have an account with Arvest and I have an account with SoFi .

Arvest gave me really good interest rates on my loans so I keep an account with them to maintain that, But I have honestly enjoyed SoFi banking more as the app has more tools to manage things.

I guess it depends on what your looking for.

I called them a second time to remind them of FERPA and how I have a right to change these documents if my new identity documents do not reflect the old information. They tried to tell me it was not legal for them change this information, so I asked for who could change it. They said “no one”. I then pressed and asked what state or federal law made it not legal. The person said “I don’t know”, and I said if they didn’t know how can they really be sure that it’s not possible.

After they hung up, thirty minutes later I got an apology back from that same person and they said that they did some digging and apparently it was possible and I just needed to bring my documents to the Nixa schools registrar. I also apologized, cause I got heated with them earlier, but it seems like they just didn’t know and just assumed it wasn’t possible. I will be doing this tomorrow, thank goodness.
