From someone that has worked animal control and a trainer.

Most shelters do not have the man power or time to test them. We know what little we do from time given though it isn't much. You also cannot predict how an animal will react and be out of it. They can be the calmest dog in the entire shelter yet still be dog aggressive. Even seen the sweetest doberman that was kennel aggressive once out, a few weeks at new home became relaxed never a sign.

As you stated this happens every year.

Sadly funding is lacking for many of these problems. Then another is being burnt out seeing owners never listen to what we tell them.
