how often do you have to deny someone? what kinds of reasons usually make them unfit? and, lol just curious, is the alone in the car, question on the form you use?
I deny people multiple times a day. Our application is 2 pages long and we have a page long contract that they sign when they're approved for adoption. We don't have the alone in the car question, but we do ask how the animal will be transported (making sure dogs won't be in the back of pickups, etc). If a person wants a 100% outdoor dog/cat or wants to declaw a cat, that is an automatic denial. Aside from that, each adoption counselor is more lenient or more strict in the other areas. I personally don't like adopting cats to indoor/outdoor homes and I've never done it yet. Once my supervisor was going to make me so I just told her she could handle it then and I left. It just makes me uneasy. Oh yeah, and if they adopt an already declawed cat, they sign a contract that says they will NEVER let it outside EVER.
