Getting the call from the person with a dog that bit someone and the call goes like this...
client"Hi, I heard you do dog rescue?"
me "Yes I do, what can I do for you"
client "my dog bit a 10 year old boy today and drew blood on him... can you help me find a new home for the dog? I don't think he is working out here"
me "has the dog had any kind of socialization, training, etc"
client "no" ( this part actually takes several minutes to come to this conclusion after multiple questions )
Me " we don't typically rehome dogs with bite histories without the dog undergoing rehabilitation , as they will not change their behavior without rehab and will end up euthanized. We suggest rehabilitation before rehoming. Rehabilitation will offer a moderate guarantee that the dog will not agress again. no rehabilitation will result in a dog almost guaranteed to re offend and be euthanized."
Client "you mean you can fix my dog? But I don't have time for that"
Me "then you should not have a dog in the first place"
