Hopefully, they will have a pre-registration for the auction in which ALL interested persons wanting to take part are fully screened and approved first, just as they hopefully are prior to adopting. I can't say that I've ever seen this done before. I always thought that the dog goes to the best fit - not necessarily the first to inquire or the highet bidder. I think they would have been better to have set a higher adoption fee ratherthen auction. I do understand a higher adoption fee since the $$ brought in will then be used for the older left behind.
