We would love to see them too Aaro,n but it appears we all have to be invited to view docs in that google folder. Can you attach them instead of sending links?

Hi Aaron,
Would be willing to share those documents and checklists you mentioned? This is something our organization struggles with as well.
Thanks,
Emily

I agree with Kristen as well and would be more than willing to provide some feedback and assistance in reviewing the case as well as providing some checklist and documents that we have used at Austin Pets Alive! to assess these types of situations. Feel free to reach out to me at
aaron.caldwell@amerianpetsalive.org and hopefully we can set up a time to talk virtually.

I've been a shelter director for 6 years and never, fortunately, encountered this until recently. We are a private non-profit no-kill shelter.
To make a long story short, One dog attacked an adopter as he was getting in their car. The woman had to have plastic surgery on her face. He was returned to the county shelter for quarantine and assessment. Yesterday one of our dogs attacked a staff member unprovoked. She required stitches in her stomach and arm. He has also shown aggression in other incidences but was in his kennel. We have a policy to have an assessment by a trainer and vet before any decisions are made for his future.
What is your policy for this type of situation? I would appreciate your advice. We are frustrated..
