Shelters can be really bad about making clear a dog's temperament. Years ago I adopted a GSD that they swore was good with other animals.

In under a week it Turned out it absolutely was not good with other animals and went after someone's small dog. Had to return him the next day since it just wasn't gonna work in our home with a small animal.

I know shelters try their best but this creates dangerous situations.

My aunt and uncle had a similar issue with a lab. It bit my sibling in the face. Then bit two more kids and a grandparent after that. But because it was lab, the rescue just assumed it was good to go.
