The rescue where I volunteer has "taken back "dogs (actually they refer it as rescinding). Reason is the adopter has broken the legal, binding adoption contract. The dogs are returned for a GOOD reason usually they are left outside unattended, let outside without a leash in an unfenced area (in one case the dog was actually hit by a car and the Vet caring for the animal called us).

Remember returning a dog is a two way street, the adopter can always return a dog to us also. This is also part of the contract, if for any reason they are not able to care for the dog they need to surrender it to us, we want it back (there is nothing in our contract about taking any additonal dogs they have but we will take them if asked).

Part of being a good adoption agent is matching the right do to the right forever home, this includes asking some personal quesitons such as their plans for children in the future and even if kid visit the home often.

I promise you the mission of anyone who works or volunteers at the rescue I am associate with is to place the dog in a suitable, forever home. Whenever a dog is placed is opens up a slot for another dog.
