I went to adopt a dog day at Parker Subaru, I got one named rocket and he was a really good dog! I had him for about 5 hours, walked him downtown and he was very calm and loved being pet by other people! I took his leash off to go back home. Then I went to put his leash on and he bit my hand. At first I didn t think much of it, maybe frightened by a new home and his surroundings, then I waited 20ish minutes and I went to pet him and he completely ripped off the top layer of my finger. So I called SCRAPS, and they told me that I forgot to sign a paper and they were sending someone out to get the paper. Well, I took the dog to where we were supposed to meet the animal control guy and while we were waiting, rocket was very calm and collected. We were walking him around and petting him and he was behaving very well and calm for a one year old! My girlfriend went to pet him and he bit through her hand, that s when they called me and told me that the volunteer wasn t even supposed to bring the dog to the adopt a pet event in the first place because of biting issues. They animal control guy they sent was very apologetic and very nice to us and got the dog and took him away:(. We called the director of the whole organization and we talked through everything and worked everything out. They were very apologetic and sorry and concerned about our health. The only reason I give it two stars because the dog should NOT, I repeat, SHOULD NOT, have been at that event in the first place. Because of that volunteer and miscommunication to me, I had a bite mark through my wrist where you can see the tendons and the top part of the wrist is swollen, a massive chunk of my middle finger missing and a popped blood vessel, my girl friends wrist is bit up through the muscle, and her brand new car has pee all over it from the dog being grabbed by the animal control guy. Like I said, they were very mature and apologetic, I just wish they didn t put the dog up for adoption in the first place. I hope they do better and fix this from ever happening again to other people.
