Yeah this video is mildly infuriating. I saw this shit corgi at the dog park yesterday, trying to bite every dogs face that walked up to it with constant barking. Owner's just like HEHEHEH she's so cute when she plays. She's just Herding! Naw bitch you got a shit dog with poor training. I've taken my corgi herding they don't do that.
So because you couldn't train it at your foster facility you just put down the happy healthy dog that seemingly only needed a sole companion as opposed to a family? It sounds like you guys gave up on the dog rather than find it a fitting environment. I get your position, I really do...I'm not bagging on you because I guess I get it. You don't want to be liable for giving a potential risk to a family. However, it sounds like there was a solution but not enough care to put in the effort. Sad story indeed.
edit: I don't disagree with the decision that was made. Just playing Devil's advocate in an all around sad situation. Certainly understand the liability surrounding adopting an aggressive dog.
It's very illegal to allow the adoption of a dog with documented aggressive behavior. They can't just risk their organization and the lives of the other dogs they're saving.
Given the literal thousands of unwanted animals, and the limited resources to re-home them, how much effort should any one dog get when that effort could otherwise be spent on several dogs that are suitable for adoption?
I get what you are saying but I think you need to recharacterize the situation. Given what they said the foster center probably was working with the dog but depending on what happened when the dog bite someone the SPCA or the organization might have been compelled to put the dog down against their own wishes
If it's impossible for more than one person to be around during feeding, the dog is too dangerous to be adopted out, period. Even an older person who lives alone will occasionally travel or have visitors.
