In addition, we've implemented a Trap / Neuter / Release of feral cats, worked with law enforcement
and other rescues to save abused /
neglected dogs and started an effective low - cost, income verified, program for unaltered
pets.
Other owners may acquire a Rottweiler for a family
pet, but
neglect to properly socialize
and train the animal, resulting in a dangerous, unpredictable
dog who makes the rules.
«10 Delise, based upon her study of fatal attacks over the past five decades, has identified  poor ownership / management practices involved in the overwhelming majority of these incidents: owners obtaining
dogs,
and maintaining them as resident
dogs outside of the household for purposes
other than as family
pets (i.e. guarding / protection, fighting, intimidation / status); owners failing to humanely contain, control
and maintain their
dogs (chained
dogs, loose roaming
dogs, cases of abuse /
neglect); owners failing to knowledgably supervise interaction between children
and dogs;
and owners failing to spay or neuter resident
dogs not used for competition, show, or in a responsible breeding program.4
