Puppy Day a-Gley?

[stoutfellow]

A bit of a possible snag has emerged. According to the shelter's rules, an unfixed dog cannot be adopted out until it is fixed. They'll do the operation on-site, but the vet who does it only comes by once or twice a week. So... If the dogs that catch my fancy happen to be already fixed, then they'll come home with me on Friday. If not, it may be a few more days. We shall see.

The best-laid schemes....

In practice, does this mean you can say 'that dog', and they'll hold it for you until it's neutered? If not, why do they even show them as adoptable before they're neutered?

Yes. The lag time is less than a week, I was told, but they wouldn't commit to anything more precise than that.
