It's actually gotten pretty common for rescues to want to be very invasive in adopter's lives.
I see alot who require a letter from your vet stating that you are a responsible owner, letters from references, pre- adoption home inspections, unending unannounced post-adoption inspections, contracts saying that you'll return the animal to them if you can't keep it (which will get you blacklisted forever in all of their network). Some even want you to prove you have the financial means to keep the pet to THEIR standards.
Then there's shelters having "clear the shelter" days where they waive fees & adopt to just about anyone who will show up & take one.
🤷‍♀️
I've noticed that not just government entities but regular citizens are displaying overreach, being busybodies. There are plenty of "Karen" videos on the internet.

Go 'way, just leave me alone! :rolleyes:

First light & first cuppa both done, heading into seconds 😋 out to feed next, then leave for work. Been cramming all I could into these days leading up to snow. I'll lose a couple of days being home & have huge assignments to work. Suspect I'll be working sat/sun -- anticipating main roads cleared 🤞🤷. Getting far stores -- through windy back roads! -- done first. They don't pay enough for eating a ditch from ice. Won't drive through it.

@canesisters I sure hope there won't be the deep snow they're scaring us with!! I won't like any of it but, can deal with 3-5" and complain!! 12"?? No!! That's a blizzard.

Actually praying the storm tracks just 50 miles NWward and I'll just get rain here!!

I would never adopt from a rescue with all those attachments. A county or city dog pound is much more reasonable.

Crap @Baymule I'll be sure to only do "my business" inside! 🤣

We do have a report to expect 8-9" of snow here beginning early afternoon tomorrow I to Thur morn. Guess that means home Thurs thru Sun or Mon. Just hope electric stays on 😳🥴😖😳🙏🤞. Reports say most in 14 yrs.

Picking up couple cans of gas "in case", for generator.

They actually CLOSED the clinics tomorrow!

All of us office staff are staying home.

Why? It appears that we will be having an ice storm.

Hopefully we won't lose power. Everything in the house needs electricity, even the propane heat. :rolleyes:

I do have a little friend that I brought in from the shed...
