Was it because of the labs tempermant? If it was known to be a biter, that's one thing..but if it wasn't then that's a real dumb excuse to NOT let your brother adopt it.

Do shelters get any sort of government aid, or tax breaks? I'm thinking, maybe they have to keep a certain number of dogs, and they get some sort of aid or something, therefore there real strict on who adopts just because they dont want anyone to adopt. The more I read about this, the more skeptical I'm becoming.
