Hi Wendy, All shelters do things differently. The most progressive ones don't have cut and dried rules, but have a set of open ended questions that help find a match for the family.

Hey Kelley, Well, I am definitely in violation of city codes...lol. So I have no judgement to make. I just didn't know if there were certain written or un-written rules that shelters follow when it comes to that particular issue. The contract does ask how many animals live in the home, so I know it's a factor. I'll be interested to hear what the shelter owner decides to do. She's in Austin too.
