not once in all of my conversations with the shelters or the shelter's administration did they mention any type of screening, but I honestlly hope you're right. I would hate to think that they could potentially go to un-prepared homes just to be returned to the shelter.
Now that I think about it, I was told they were going to try to get the media's attention, it worries me that they might be sending the wrong message to the public. I still think it's wrong to auction these puppies off like antiques. If they do screen potential homes before the auction begins, then I have less of a problem with the auction. But only slightly.
