By the start of 2011, pet stores and animal shelters will be required to post the history of their dogs and cats that will include the name and address of the animal's breeders, a record of their medical conditions, including vet treatments and vaccinations, any hereditary defects, as well as the animal's parents, date of birth, and breed.
The information must be signed by both the customer and the pet shop before the sell or adoption can be finalized.

This makes no sense.....how is a shelter supposed to have all of that information? I can see how a pet shop should have it but shelters take dogs and cats from many different situations and most of the time that information simply isn't available. Where does this leave strays that are picked up? Does this mean they can never be adopted?
