I realize it's a standard form, and I understand what they're trying to do with it. I just doubt very much that I'll be allowed to adopt or foster a dog from them, because of my guardian dogs. (Even if I could remember all the pet rats and rabbits that we've ever owned, their death dates, and what happened to them...!)

Do the reputable breeders not require a contact when they sell a dog? I see no difference in them asking these questions which is the same that are on many contracts a person signs with a breeder. How are breeders or shelters going to know what kind of home the dog will get if they don't ask questions?

In fact quite the opposite, they are trying to get these dogs into the hands of GSD people , FIRST. Not a single dog has left the shelter yet, as they are still handling applications etc. They are not spaying /neutering them, as far as I know. They are tending to baths etc, and caring for any of the dogs that may need some extra help. This is a non prof small BREEDER FRIENDLY shelter. It is in part run by one of our own, who has nothing but the best interest of the GSDs, at heart. Personally I have NO problem with the adoption form. They can ask me anything they want, and I will provide the info, happily. I am glad they are being careful. This is a good group of people. They are doing everything they can. kathy *http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com <http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com/>* *Updated: June 2013* *CH. Elvaston's Nations Cup TC, 26 BOBsCH.
