Dogs with a bite history are rejected by most centers and shelters.

They are. Especially if the attack was unprovoked.

If you are lucky, they may offer to euthanize the dog, but generally you pay for it. I know this because my father was a veterinarian. People would call him for advice because he knew how the system worked. Rural people generally elected to do it themselves.

Sort of like Noem did.

I took in a rescue dog with a bite history. Bit my husband, bit me twice. I was extremely stupid. I tried to dominate it by going nose to nose. First stitches ever. But after a while the dog calmed. It was still terrified to be left alone and was the first dog I had to take literally everywhere I went. But, in the end, the vet said that he had become a happy dog and I was thrilled. I had always thought that Toby was dependent on me. When we finally lost him, I learned that, instead, I had become completely dependent on him.

Dogs that bite CAN be rehabilitated.
