To my knowledge, no one has been bitten by this animal. To my knowledge, the above answers are true and correct. None of the answers to the above questions will necessarily exclude any dog from being taken into our program. BDR volunteers allow dogs to be “fostered” in their private homes, which often include other dogs, both big and small, cats, other pets, children, etc. Being as truthful as possible enables us to place the dog in an appropriate foster home without endangering our volunteers.
