[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 406240, member: 1233"] I wish ALL states had spay/neuter laws with stiff fines. I would LOVE to see backyard breeding abolished and all breeders subject to strict licensing and standards. That goes for all animals, not just dogs and cats. We got Capn Morgan from the Animal control side, though he would have gone to the Humane Society. There were 2 that thank you and I liked and both were set to go to the Humane Society. Morgan hadn't been neutered yet and the other one had. The vet he was to be sent to is our family vet and she vouched for us so we took him home on Fri when she couldn't neuter him until Tues. Ours is amazing in that they do an unannounced home visit 15-30 days after adoption. Someone knocks on your door to see how the animal is adjusting and what the conditions are life. if they don't approve they take the animal with them. If you don't let them in the police come and you HAVE to let them in or give the animal back. period. It is in the contract and right before we got Morgan it went into the Animal control contract that the Humane Soc would be doing an inspection. It is AWESOME except that the first time I learned of this a guy showed up at my house at ten at night to "inspect". We couldn't get anyone at the shelter to verify that he was coming out so I refused to open the door. When the cops came I explained that we had no idea they would come late at night, my husband was at owrk and I had a toddler at home. It apparently was teh last time an inspection was done after 8 pm because the cops told the guy to come back at another time and wouldn't let him in. He tried to take Freckles (this was when Wiz was 1) the next day but I had already called the head of the Board of Directors to explain. Apparently he was NOT supposed to be out that late. I am still glad they do the inspections though. Our shelter and animal control also keep a list of people who have either hoarded animals or brought in a lot of animals that were not strays that they found. If you call to see if a prospective adopter is on the list they will tell you. It helps keep the hoarders from getting more animals again. [/QUOTE]
