Hi list-
This is sort of off topic... I have a couple questions for anyone who
works/volunteers at an animal shelter or has adopted a pet from one. What
kind of policies are in place to decide if someone is eligible to adopt an
animal? Do they just give them to anyone, or are there specific
requirements that must be met? The reason I ask is that I am trying to
adopt a guinea pig from a shelter and so far, it seems to me that they'd
rather keep it there than give it to a good home! I've been given several
what I think are rather silly reasons why I can't adopt (e.g.., I don't
have a MA drivers license, for one- I do, however have one from New York
state but that is not acceptable for some reason) and I'm just wondering if
this is the general practice or is this a particularly strict shelter.
Please reply directly to me so as not to clutter the list with non-gerbil
discussion (unless this topic is of any interest to the list)- I'd
appreciate any input. Thanks!
Jill
