3rd of Jan, 2010 by User239124

I took two dogs into the Dunk'N Dogs self dog wash at 3056 Clairemont Dr. San Diego, CA 92117. I had a muzzle on my dog (they knew he bites ) I've had him there many times, my Dog likes everybody else and the OWNER of the dog wash allowed him to be there. Sarah (the groomer for the place) looked at the dogs nails and said they both could be done, I said you can do my other dogs nails, but my male German Shepherd dog will bite so im going to take him to the vet and have them do it. So Sarah started doing the other dogs nails and Sarah was telling me that she's a trainer and she has been doing this for a while. My dog needed his nails done and I said you can try if you want but your going to need a tighter muzzle. So she went to the back and threw me a smaller muzzle, but it was on the smallest setting. I started loosening it so I could put it on my shepherd and before I could put it on him, she came from the back and sat on the ground with treats and said let us become friends, NOT A SMART THING TO DO! I don't know what happened, but she got bit in the finger. I told her I was sorry, I was in tears. She said she was going to urgent care to get it looked at and asked if I had insurance. I told her no, she said well your going to have to pay for the bill. She called me from the urgent care on their business phone and said the bill was going to be around $250 because the visit was $200 alone and she was going to need a tetanus shot and antibiotics. I asked if she was going to call the humane society on my dog in fear that he was going to be put down, because he had a previous bite record from his other owners(which I saved him from). She told me "NO, if you pay the urgent care bill I wont call". Well this morning I went down to bring her the money for the urgent care bill and had an appointment at 3pm. I paid the owner of the shop because Sarah wasn't there. I called two hours before I was going to be there to get the bill, to make sure she was there when I got there. I get a call from my boyfriend that Sarah called the humane society and left a citation on the front door and I had 24 hours to call back. So I got the number from him, called back, and they said they wanted to meet with me and talk about the quarantine, I said I will be home around 3:30pm and they said OK I will meet you then. When I got home there was a Sheriff's Deputy and a Humane Officer there in front of my house. They came over and talked to me and told me that they were here to take possession of my dog (THEY ONLY GAVE ME 10 MINUTES WITH HIM BEFORE THEY TOOK HIM!!!). What I find funny is he was in training once a weekend to stop the biting and the aggressiveness(which was only certain people, most people he loved). Starting Feb 1st he was being enrolled in a training facility, he would have been there for 3 weeks. Now because they called, I lost my dog and part of my Family!! He was the best dog ever. I just want to warn ANYONE that goes to this place, if your dog bites or scratches for any reason or hurts these people, YOU will have to pay there bills or worse, your animal might be put down. The owner reassured me I had nothing to worry about and the bill was going to be around $50 and the animal control wouldn't be called. YEAH RIGHT! By the way, the groomer (Sarah) heard me talking to the other employees about me putting my dog into training, before she got bit, and it was going to cost me $3500 to enroll him for it. Well..... after she got bit, or should I say "scratched" no stitches required, half an inch scrap on the finger to be exact, she made the comment that I should'nt have any problem paying for her medical bills. This training is or WAS going to take my whole tax return!
