Tao is a beautiful dog, and they have it down that he does not like cats but when we were at the shelter(this was a few weeks ago), he DEFINITELY did not like my daughters. I walked them past his kennel multiple times(at different times) and I SWEAR he wanted to hurt them. He was SO aggressive. He was barking and bearing his teeth, and growling. His hackles were up and his tail was not wagging AT ALL. I went to the front desk and told them that he was HIGHLY aggressive and they needed to check him out. The person there basically blew me off but said she would look at him. She did NOT do it while we were there. I was looking on Petfinder today to see if any of the dogs that we lowered their fees had been adopted and Tao is still on there and it says that is GOOD WITH KIDS!!! I even called there and the person there TOLD me that he was good with kids. What I saw.....He was NOT!
What do I do? No one is listening to me there and I have not been able to get a hold of the head people(I have been trying to get ahold of them anyway for other reasons) How do I get them to listen to me? I cannot let him get adopted to someone with kids. If he behaves around them at "adoption" time, they will say nothing is wrong. But what happens when he sees a kid he doesn't like(like mine)???
* The dog was fine in his cage when ever a adult was there, happy and tail wagging but if my daughters even came into sight of him, he was seriousely acting like he wanted to kill them. I have worked at this shelter for three years(as a volunteer) and usually they will listen to me and test the dog but I think that someone is afraid I am going to be right and will not let this dog 'go'. He is phenominally gorgeous but beauty is not always enough, at minimum they should put "No Kids".
