That is a very common practice and has been for years at lots of shelters.
There are thousands of dogs put to sleep every year, and most of the shelters
that send dogs out un-nuetered have no way of monitoring to see if the
nuetering
was actually done. So, they neuter before they leave. Wasn't aware of too
many rescues that do that. We haven't done it that young. We wait until the dog
is more mature.
