PicturesYou are hereHave you ever adopted from a shelter or rescue?
Have you ever adopted from a shelter or rescue?
I have a very odd question. I saw this in another answer and I was kinda stunned...
If you applied to adopt an animal from a rescue or shelter, has anyone been turned down because you said you WOULD return the animal should the adoption not work out?
Read that carefully... Because you WOULD return the animal...?
I have never heard of such a policy. Most places say you must return the animal.
Anyone have a different experience?

When I rescued Belle, I HAD to sign a paper specifically stating that I would return the animal if I could no longer care for it.
She has been an extreme handful to take care of - issues I was not aware of at all when I adopted her - but we're still persevering and hoping she gets better in time.
That doesn't make sense that the shelter wouldn't adopt because you would take the animal back if situations happened that could not be fixed. Odd.
I told them that I'd let the cat stay in the half of the house the dogs are not allowed in until it was ready to come into the other half... but that if the cat was going to be unhappy and hiding under my bed its whole life then I would return it because I don't want it to be unhappy.
Yes, it was a kill shelter... with a return policy. I don't get it.. but I don't understand their other reasons either.
I think they were simply hunting for reasons not to let me have a cat.
