I have a dog that has bitten one person one time because the person made the dog in fear for his life. What I want to know, is if I want to give this dog away, and I explain in full everything the dog has done and everything about the bite incident, is there a way for me to give him away and not be legally responsible if he bites the person I gave him to, or anyone else while under the control of that person? - Geez, I hope that made sense. Thanks!

You should be fine if the new owner signs something to the effect that they know the dog has bitten. I'd be very careful about who I gave it to though. Sometimes there are worse things than euthanasia.

l think that you should give the dog to a resource service and explain to them the reason so they can do a more fitting training before they give it to any one. l would not take a dog if you told me it bit someone. even with a good reason. but there are people out there that might. then if you give it to some one, that some one might hurt it bad if the dog bite them or some one else. l do not think you want this dog to be mistreated. so get some help even thur the animal shelter or organization that handle this kind of thing.l wish you luck in your search for a good home for the dog.

That's a very good question. Your best bite would be to find a rescue group that could fully assess the dogs behavior, triggers, etc and match them with the most appropriate type of home, whether it be no small children, no cats, etc. Look on petfinder.com for rescue groups. If it's a particular breed you can find a breed group, otherwise there are groups that specialize in small dogs, muts, etc. Best of luck to you.

If you give him away and the other person accepts him then he is no longer your dog and you are not responsible for him. By the way, any dog is going to bite someone if it fears for it's life, it is natural instinct to do what you can to save yourself.
