Ah...... only if the dog is theirs. There was a humane society in Florida several years ago  that had a contract that stated that animals did not become the property of adopters until they were altered. The wolf hybred they adopted out killed a neighbor's child about an hour after they got home with him. Guess who was liable??? the humane society based solely on thier contract. These groups who want to maintain control also maintain liability.
