In your personal situation, this unfortunate dog is dangerous & your husband is a serious MENACE -- If you can't re-home the German Shepherd ASAP because your husband won't let you & if you won't separate from that man (not quite kidding, sorry...) then at the very least this GSD should live in an outdoor kennel-run 24/7 and only be taken care of by your husband ALONE with absolutely zero contract between that dog & your son, yourself OR your other poor housepets, period...
This is a "wrong home for the wrong canine" scenario (the fact that he could probably be salvaged by a VERY dog-savvy owner who's highly experienced in doing re-hab with aggressive dogs is beside the point here, because your young son is being exposed to severe injury (or worse) at home by his own father -- Legally speaking, this is negligent child endangerment & should the boy come to any harm, both your husband AND you can be held liable to criminal prosecution by the state !!!
He can be extremely stubborn. Then again, so can I at times. I told him that the dog needs to go. I hope it is sinking in. I told him that I refuse to live in fear for my son, our other dogs and myself any longer.

angela, good for you.
if he continues to refuse, i'd tell him if he doesn't remove the dog immediately from your property, you will call the police to have both him and the dog removed. and then do it.
your posts make me wonder if he also abuses you. can he possibly care about your welfare if he doesn't get rid of that dog?
sorry for being so blunt, but he is willfully endangering his family and this needs to stop right now.
i would give him the benefit of the doubt if he simply doesn't understand the danger. but there is no longer any excuse for that. he has the information. if he doesn't act appropriately on it, please protect your family and get yourself, your son, and your two other dogs out of there.
No there is no abuse. Been there, done that in a prior relationship and I've grown pretty strong since then. It will NEVER happen again.
He says that his family is his first priority. I know that is true but he needs to show me with actions, not just words. We are going to call the original owners to have them either come get him or have one of the other "supposed" interested parties come get him.
This dog will hopefully be gone tonight. Tomorrow at the latest. I will just have to put my foot down and demand it regardless of how he feels about it.
Angela, if you end up having a heated argument with your husband while this dog is still in the home, that could result in a BAD biting incident -- Call your local Animal Control to come get the poor beast NOW <:-(

well, or at least make sure the dog is locked in the crate while you are having this discussion. i'd certainly keep the dog crated until the previous owners come get him.
