And you should have to pay for the spay/neuter. I may be wrong, but I think you may be confused between "buying" and an "adoption fee." Most shelters have adoption fees, which goes to spay/neuter the dog, as well to help the other dogs in the shelter.

I think it's good to fill out an application for any pet. That means they are trying to adopt the pets out to responsible people, not just anybody that walks in the place with money...like a pet store would do.
