People here failed on so many levels.
The original owner who preferred to dump his dog at the shelter than work with a behaviorist or have the dog PTS. The shelter, who probably didn't tell the rescue about the bite history (as most rescues wouldn't take a dog with a bite history). The rescue, who obviously didn't screen the adopters as well as they should have. And the adopters, who shot the dog rather than return him to the rescue (and claim Animal Control told them to do so).
I don't even have any words.

A couple who killed a German shepherd less than 48 hours after adopting him from a rescue group has been cleared of any wrongdoing following a police investigation.
Police say that the couple was never apprised that the dog, whose name was Buddy, had a bite history by the group that placed him.
Finding no probable cause that animal cruelty occurred, investigators say that the couple had a legal right to shoot the dog in the back of the head after he had bitten the new owner twice.
