My Yorkie passed at the age of 18 so I would like to adopt my next friend and give him/her a chance to live a full life. My county animal management seems to have most choices and low adoption fee compared to surrounding jurisdictions. My issue is that my former Yorkie was unlicensed. Should I tell the county animal management that I had a dog in the past? I think they will check county animal registry and can find out that I did not have a licensed dog..... Is it better to not disclose that I had a Yorkie in the past? If I disclose, will it necessarily deny my adoption application, and can the county possibly fine me for having had an unlicensed Yorkie even though Yorkie has passed from old age? I am in need of my next friend so I would like to get approved on my 1st application if at all possible. My county's adoption application doesn't seem as intrusive as some private organizations' application. Your advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
