Some pet adoption agreements require a visitation by an employee of the rescue operation, but this is usually set up at the time of adoption, and is never a surprise. They just want to be sure that the dog is properly cared for, i.e food, shelter, water, and sometimes, not on a chain or line. They also want to be sure that the dog is a good fit for your family. For instance, we once returned a dog that we brought home from the rescue operation here, because it started nipping our son. She was a good dog, but not a good fit for us. We suggested that she be placed with a family without small children. They were very understanding, and glad to have the information about the dog. Later, we got another dog from the same shelter, and this one is a great fit for us. He loves our son! If a visit is required, they leave you completely alone afterwards. The dog is YOURS after that.

Control by Dog Adoption Agreements in VA
Does a legal "Adoption Agreement" (that dictates the care and compliance to local legal restictions for pets) between a "Pet Rescue and Adoption" organization and the "adopter" ever expire, terminate, etc., (as when people reach a certain age); or does the dog remain under the legal control "Pet Rescue and Adoption" organization until death?
Does this make any difference if the "adopter" becomes the legal "owner" of the pet (even have ownership transfered to him/her by a recognized International Kennel Club), as well as, paying City License Fees and Property Taxes as the dogs "owner". Also, pay all the dog's billls as the "owner", such as the veternerin.
I am concerned to adopt a dog from a Rescue/Adoption organization or SPCA, and one of these agencies takes the dog from me if he/she happens to get out of a pen, or out the door.
It would be as if someone took one of my children!
I look forward to hearing from you, since I am very concerned about adopting a dog that I could provide a warm and loving home. It would be so nice to have an addition to the family.
Thank you.
