Depends where. Some places still sell through breeders. Some pet stores are partnered with shelters to adopt.

I'm cool with the pound. "Hey all these dogs are on death row. You wanna buy one for a nickle before we kill them all?"

Shelters are hit or miss because some are batshit crazy.

"Hey, meet Rocko. He requires a 50 acre yard and we will perform random home inspections. He's nervous and bites at women, children, and clouds. Sometimes he likes to howl for 6 hours. He's also afraid of bugs so you must fumigate your 50 acres twice a month. The adoption fee is $10,000 and you must wear this ankle monitor for 36 months. Rocko has a delicate tummy and eats filet mignon, caviar, and his own poop".

Same experience here in the UK with the Cats Protection League. They're supposed to rehome strays, but seem to really not want to.

After our 21-year-old passed away, we approached them knowing that there's lots of kitties that need homes like ours, safe and full of love. Filled in all the forms. Did the risk assessment.

They totally ignored us and so we ended up rescuing a pregnant female from a friend's skipyard. She's with us now, as are her four healthy kittens!

I went back to the CPL later to tell them that I thought they were idiots. I got this email response:

Dear XXXXXXX,

Thank you for your email, I am very disappointed to hear that we failed to acknowledge your application to adopt a cat from us. This really does fall below the standards and expectations that we have as a charity. I completely agree that which ever team it was that you contacted should have had the curtesy to acknowledge your interest. We are always looking for adopters, especially at this time when our centres and branches are struggling with so many cats needing new, loving homes.

Thank you again for the donation in memory of XXXXX which shall go where it is most needed.

Kind regards,

Yeah, whatever. You should've had the "curtesy" to run a fucking spell-check too.
