[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firstly an unknown dog should be crated around visitors. 
But yes you call the rescue. [/quote]

Yes, this.

Op did the rescue not offer any information?  You allowed a stranger to approach a dog you know very little about.  [/quote]

Fosters are responsible for socializing the dog and observing their behaviors around new people.  This dog bit someone, twice.  Email the rescue and tell them what happened.  They should take the dog back and put him down.  Dogs like this are NOT adoptable.[/quote]

+1. In a real home environment, dog adopters are going to have guests over. I have a rescue dog who barks at the doorbell, but in ten years has never bit a soul who walked through my door including “strangers” such as repair persons or other visitors. It’s amazing how many people want to make excuses for a dog that bit someone TWICE even while they were retreating away. Do you really think an adoptive family is going to keep the dog in some quiet, calm environment without new people around 24/7? [/quote]

Your reasoning is all wrong.  Just becsuse you do something temporary doesn't mean you will have to do it forever.  If the dog was set up to succeed op wouldn't have brought a stranger onto the home so soon.  Now the dog has a bite history which 8a 2 steikes against it.

I knew a foster dog that bit dogs  because she was scared but they adopted her out and she is living a good life.[/quote]
