I contacted Norco Animal Control before I ever took him back. They have everything in writing with the microchip number so that they can't just change his name and adopt him out the new name. Gentle Giants received a copy of the report and had to sign a contract that they understood the dog was having aggression problems and had tried to bite twice.

and i agree with the other comments, surely there is a higher authority for you to turn to about them rehoming blatantly dangerous dogs to unsuspecting people, who could possibly have young children i might add.
at least you tried with everything you have. its a shame that someone at some time has made this dog so unbalanced that it goes into random bouts of hyper aggression, i bet he could have been a real star had he been giving the nurturing from the start. I hope you get this resolved and are able to get action taken again gentle giants.
While they may not have won, they would have filed a lawsuit. I had signed a contract saying that I would give him back if there was ANYTHING that was preventing me from keeping him. I had no idea it would be psychotic aggression. Norco Animal Control advised me to give him back per the contract and then file a complaint with them and the city of Norco.

I am still having difficulties even talking about this two weeks later, but forcing myself to do it to get the word out.

As I have started digging, what you say has become very apparent. 6 years ago I got recommended to them by a couple vet techs and vets. Just about the same time, all this crap starting coming out, but it hadn't reached me yet.

Truthfully, I'm not impressed by his handling of large dogs. Besides, I had a Behavioral Modification specialist (Ph.D. in animal behavior) who specialized in large, protection dogs with 30 years of experience tell me that he would never be reliable no matter what kind of training I did.

We were. When he was in his right mind, he was AMAZING. Something really was jacked up with him. The vet even wondered if he could have had a brain tumor.
I'm so sorry to hear about that! that's awful! I'm definitely passing this link on! I hope this company gets shut down!

Here is the problem... They have convinced themselves that they are amazing. His round worms, diarrhea, ear infection, bloody leg sores, bloody urine (crystals formed from an untreated urinary tract infection), poor weigh, terrible muscle tone, dirty coat, and behavioral problems say otherwise. Disgusting messed up people. He was with him for 3 months like this.
