[QUOTE="Steely, post: 406408, member: 3301"] MWM - that is really good info - as I never knew that happened. It was interesting when I went to adopt a dog, I went to a non profit no kill shelter. Well, seriously, the paperwork involved in getting a dog with this shelter was as if I was signing up my kid to be in an elite pre-school. It was over the TOP. I certainly could pass all of their criteria, but it annoyed me to the point of me telling them that I would not adopt from them! I told them that there were a million puppies ready to be euthanized that I could save in a heartbeat, and not have to prove my worthiness to, and I walked away. I later adopted Tesla from a the Humane Society and I feel really good about it now. I do truly understand these non profits wanting to adopt to good homes - but I guess my point is that I wonder how many of those puppies/dogs sit at these non-profit centers un-homed because of their stringent adoption procedures. Just another take on this whole subject. [/QUOTE]
