Yes, alot of shelters do that....however, alot of shelters don't do that right away. They wait until someone comes in to adopt the pet and then the "foster parents" have to pay for it. My boyfriend has a cat he got from an animal shelter in Virginia and he had to sign a paper saying that he was going to have her spayed. My sister got a dog from an animal shelter in Texas and they couldn't take him home without having him neutered. It all depends on if the animal has already been fixed.
