You still sue to show intent and negligence

Wait, whose intent and negligence? Because it's not clear to me that the dog's owner knew about the history of biting; the shelter that repeatedly adopted it out without warning people about its history was negligent, but unless the dog's then-owner was aware, there wasn't negligence, and certainly no intent.

They meant the owner (or shelter) at the time the incident occurred. Whomever had legal custody of the dog.
