The vet has medicines that put dogs to sleep, and these medicines are controlled substances and not available to the general public. I know because we also wanted to put our older dog to sleep at home, but they don't sell the medicines to dog owners.

There may be vets that make house calls, but they are the ones who usually deal with the larger animals and not dogs.

If it is a cost issue, call around, we found that there is a wide range of cost for this service.

Will animal services put a dog to sleep if you sign it over to them after it tried to bite somebody?

When a dog is signed over to Animal Services doesn't mean the dog will be put tp sleep. That being said, the former owner can ask for Animal Services to take the animal to the shelter and ask for the animal to be humanely euthanized. If the Animal Services "Officer" stated they will "put the dog to sleep" that means the dog will be taken to the shelter, placed in quarantine for a few days (possibly) and then humanely euthanized/destroyed due to concerns about the general well being and safety of the community.
