Hi.... gentle reminder to everyone in my email who wants to surrender their "really great dogs" with bite histories, its an emphatic NO. If the rescue you adopted from wont take them back because they have bitten, and the shelter said they will euthanize them for biting, and all the people on the rehoming pages are ignoring you, WHY do you expect that I risk the safety of my volunteers, the general public, and my future adopters?
Its okay to feel bad about behavioral euthanasia, but its NOT okay to try and guilt a rescue or shelter or anyone else, into taking your dog- just so you don't have to do the responsible thing. BE is not a sin.
We spend a lot of money every year on insurance, and that insurance says- we don't take bite cases. We also spend a lot of money each year on dog training, in hopes of preventing us from having any bite cases. We know they happen post adoption, and we know that we have placed dogs into homes that have later on become BE cases. We are not blaming anyone, and we fully admit that we are most certainly NOT perfect. We cannot predict future behaviours, and we are simply flawed humans, and yes- often our dogs have their flaws too.
PS- BE isn't just for dogs. Cats don't all need to be saved just because they are small and fuzzy. Carry on.
