Hi Wendy, Such a tough choice! I'm not a shelter owner or volunteer, but I guess I'd ask them about the neighborhood. How tolerant are the neighbors? Is there a chance anyone would want to turn them in? If that's the case, it might be risky since you never know what would happen to the animals if they were "repossessed" so to speak.
Just my thoughts!

The only real concern she and I both had were that the family already has 5 dogs and 5 cats. They live in a regular subdivision home in San Antonio (regular size plot-nothing too large, although the backyard is nicely sized). The municipal code says that no more than 5 dogs and 3 cats be in one home at a time. So our question, especially to shelter owners/volunteers, is this: if you know adopting a dog out, even if it's to a good family, will put that family in violation of city codes, would you do it? My friend is not the one making the decision; she's just reporting the information to the shelter. We were just curious as to what your thoughts are on this. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: Indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ TV dinner still cooling?
