Shitty situation, but there’s not much else you can do when a dog has that many biting incidents. Keeping it is at best a lawsuit - or at worst a tragedy - waiting to happen.
TBH I’m a little surprised an animal shelter actually let someone adopt a dog with that kind of temperament. Maybe that’s naive of me, or maybe the shelter didn’t have it long enough to realize it was a biter.

That’s 100% BS to get attention
I’ve had a foster for 3.5 months
She wasn’t considered adoptable until a month ago
Any legitimate rescue would never let a dog with those issues be adopted
All she had to do was return the dog to the rescue / shelter where she got it
Exactly
She called a trainer & worked on positive reinforcement
I agree a dog that bites needs to be put down but you also have to look at the owner & if they are contributing to the issues

I didn't read all that, but keeping a energetic breed like a beagle in an NYC apartment seems like a bad idea.

I've had an American bulldog I had to put down. She stopped eating. The vet found no reason. She was extremely aggressive leading up to it. No reason for it.
Sweetest dog ever and then all of a sudden attacking all of the otger dogs. It was almost like she had rabies... But she didn't.
I didn't take it lightly. Hell I cried like a baby after it was done.
But it still needed to happen.

I’m not reading all that and I’m not asking for cliff notes either. I’m out.

I read just enough to see that it was a beagle. That’s really surprising. Dog must have had some weird mental problem. Beagles are probably the friendliest dogs out there.

Absolutely justified. Its her property.

I don’t disagree with her decision, and she clearly didn’t make it lightly.
Vicious dogs are hard to manage and become an incredible liability.
It was even harder for her, considering she lived in a city.
The only exercise the dog can get is when she takes it out and then there is the potential for a bite incident.
The one at fault here is the rescue center.
If they truly knew that this dog had 7 previous biting incidents and they still allowed someone to adopt her, they should face some serious scrutiny.
The lady did the right thing, although it would have been better for the dog had the vet not been an idiot about Covid protocols
There’s really not much else to say. This pretty much nails it. Hard choice, but the right choice.

People who drop problematic dogs at shelters, especially highly reactive ones that can cause serious damage, are a big part of this problem. Doubt they told the shelter or whatever it got left at about the dog's reactivity or biting. Can't fault the lady that posted, it's her decision and probably the correct action.

A tired dog is a good dog. You can't keep a beagle as a lap dog.

I've killed beagles for less.

TL,DR - she got a beagle, it acted like a dog she had it put down.

bullshite. If you're gonna kill an animal kill it quick. Anybody who puts an animal through unnecessary pain is worse than dog shite

can't see how you would put a beagle down for biting
You'd rather risk the next bite being a toddler's face?
Y'all some city slicks for sure, put the dog outside if you're worried about it biting a toddler. I see beagles/dogs running around fairly often that who knows who they belong to, but they obvious caught a scent and just went for it.

The dog bit multiple people. Of course she is justified. The only problem I can see is she waited too long. Should've been put down after the first biting incident.

I’m not reading all that. But I’m guessing from skimming over the massive wall of text this dog bites. If that’s the case, then she should get rid of it, be it by surrendering the dog to a shelter or having it put down. What she can’t do is ignore the fact this dog has a tendency to bite people. From a liability standpoint it’s not worth the risk.

I'm probably the farthest thing from a city slicker on here, but I promise you this. If any dog of mine (inside or outside and regardless of breed) ever bites anyone other than an intruder, that dog won't live another day.

She didn't know what kind of environment the dog came from. She should have spent more time with the dog and he probably needed a place... Like a back yard to burn off energy. It sounds like she just brought the dog home and expected him to adapt to her environment.
That's not typical behavior of a Beagle.
