trust that the pound has already done that. they test it while it's eating, playing, whatever - if it shows any signs of aggression, they won't take it in because they cannot afford a law suit. i know it sucks when it comes down to stuff like this, but they are very careful which pets they'll take in to adopt out. it's not like it used to be that you can just drop any old dog off at the pound. if they have a situation where an animal is abandoned or something and it shows aggression, guess where it's headed... and it won't be for vaccinations.
that said, you'll get the best type of dog at the pound. they'll likely not be show dogs by any stretch of the imagination, but they will be the ones that need to love and need to be loved the most. either that or get a puppy from someone you know - that's what i did.
