Why don't you tell all the rescue kennels that you are willing to give a home to the dogs that bite. Perhaps you could put some adds up too and advertise on the Internet?

Maybe somebody would have been able to retrain him but where do you find these people? Sadly there are many safe (for want of a better word!) dogs looking for homes cos there are too many dogs out there......

The important thing IMO is that you can't explain to them why they are being taken away from all they know and "passing around" is very stressful so when there is little or no chance of a successful rehoming the responsible if very very difficult thing to do is to put them to sleep.....remember dogs don't have the knowledge of what is about to happen, we're the ones who assign human emotions to them.....they can't make value choices ie I'll be a good boy so I'm not PTS!!!!:rolleyes:
