[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a dog from lucky dog too. They’re basically a pipeline from SC shelters to here. I’m not at all sure about it. I think it just creates a market and then there’s no pressure to do anything locally to prevent so many unwanted dogs. These linked are older but the adoption event I went to was 75% pit puppies. I don’t have the sense they want to work themselves out of a job, if that makes sense. And I just don’t see why this is the best long term solution. [/quote]
Market implies that they are making money.  They are not.  
It would be wonderful if we could require the southern states to change their policies on neutering and dog ownership....how are you going to do that? Yep, it's absolutely a bandaid but what else are you suggesting be done? You should incredibly unaware of the situation.[/quote]
What 'policies' do you propose that 'southern' states change ? What 'policies'do you have up north that have actually worked?  And how the heck did the state take them over since animal control is generally handled at the county level?[/quote]
If you look at Wolf Trap Rescue, they essentially took Booneville, Mississippi to almost no euthanization in the shelters. The policy is spay/neuter before adoption. And they do it young because the benefits outweigh the risks.  
You just want to be argumentative, but it’s both at the state and county level. Yes, counties control animal control for the most part, but state law comes in to play regarding animal abuse cases. [/quote]
EVERY shelter requires spay/neuter before adoption, north/south, everywhere. That's been a thing for at least 4 decades. You tell me what exactly you think that 'southern states' need to do. [/quote]
I just want to point out that the rescue mentioned in the original post DOESN'T require it before adoption. They release the animal with the promise it be done. Here is one example where the listing specifically states the puppy is not sterilized.

You are just wrong.
