Assuming this is a county run shelter. If you truly believe that there will be no screening - just an auction to the highest bidder then I personally would go further with a complaint. I do not believe if it is county run that it is legal to do this. If policy says that ALL Adopters are to be screened etc. then they cannot just auction off puppies. Also, legaly I'm not even sure they can do this without a permit, especially if it's non-profit which ALL county shelters are. Elaine |
