Advice on adopting out a bitting dog.
I don't think its as bad as the title says but here is my situation.
I have a 6 month old Wheaton Terrier puppy. I also have a 4 year old and 7 year old. About 6 or 8 weeks ago, my 4 year old daughter went over to were the dog was eating, the dog snapped at her and just caught my daughters lip. No stitches but the place were we took our daughter had recorded the incident as a dog bite. About six weeks went by and we decided that the puppy needs to find a new home. The puppy has just too much energy and plays a bit too rough with the kids. We have tried the obedience training and have done our best to work with the dog but unfortunately things have not gone well. During the puppy's last week at my house, the puppy had become sick and was unable to keep food down for 2 or 3 days. My daughter likes to put her face next to the dogs face for the typical face licks. This time she got bit and the bite resulted in 5 stitches. Of course this is also recored as a dog bite from the place we took her. I hate to put a puppy down. The dog has been sent to a relatives house who is trying to adopt the puppy out to a good home with no children. The question that I have is, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do or have the new owners sign knowing that the dog has bitten? I want to protect myself from any liability if it should ever come up. If anyone does have a way or idea on what I can do, could you please give some suggestions or examples on the wording of what I need to do. Thank you |
