Liability Hysteria & "Pit Bull" Dog Adoptions from Animal Farm on Vimeo.
"In a misguided effort to manage liability, some agencies place blanket restrictions on adoptions of certain breeds, breed mixes, or presumed breeds. If reduction in liability is the goal, this is not a viable solution. Shelters will greatly decrease their chances of being on the wrong side of a lawsuit and increase their ability to adopt out more dogs to loving families when they: (1) observe the dog while in their care, (2) document all observations & information provided by previous owners (if available), (3) disclose all known facts to the new owner, and (4) transfer ownership of the dog (fully & finally) to the new owner."
