I am appalled by the complaints I am seeing on here. I have adopted two dogs (one from the Houston SPCA and one just recently from the Houston Humane Society). Folks, they ask all of these questions because they want to ensure that an animal that is adopted is going to a home that 1. it is allowed to be in, 2. has other animals that are up to date on vaccines (for the safety of your current pets and the new animal) and 3. that you are aware of the financial and time burden you take on by bringing a new pet into your home. I also do some volunteer work for some breed rescues in the area and the number of animals that people turn in for ridiculous reasons is astounding. The questions are there to ensure the animal goes to a home where it will be taken care of, remain forever and will be loved. That's it. There is no plot to keep the animals...these are animals that have been unwanted and they just want to make sure they are going into the right hands. Our experience was stellar.
