Puppy Day a-Gley?

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....

Doh!! While I certainly understand wanting all adopted pets to be spayed/neutered, why in the world do they have to do it that way? When we got Casey, we signed a form pledging to have her spayed at 6 months, and then we had to return proof that it had been done. (They could have seized her from us if we hadn't.)

This way seems a bit...extreme.

That was the policy back when I adopted Ben, but that was fifteen years ago, and apparently they've changed it.
