I agree 100%. I personally know the head vet of the shelter and I can't imagine the stress she faced with this situation.I think there is a ton missing from this whole situation. Having said that, this isn't up for public opinion. The public does not have all the information on what happened, what behavioral issues are present, severity of the two bites the dog has already done, etc. This does not involve the public, at this time. This is a conversation that should be happening between the shelter, the rescue and the owner and the best option for public safety is what should be considered.
They ended up transferring her to the other shelter involved, and the dog was then transferred to a breed specific rescue. I bet you there was *a ton* of paperwork filled out to state the city shelter would not take any responsibility for this dog biting another child if it happens again.
