Is there a law against frequently giving pets to shelters for adoption?

I was having a chat with my cousin about this subject and he was telling me that if an animal shelter (or shelters) see that you frequently give back animals to the shelter, or if you keep bringing in pets for adoption, that you actually get banned from owning a pet after x amount of times. Is this true at all?Is there a law against frequently giving pets to shelters for adoption?More than likely they will flag your name and share that info with other area shelters. The idea of adopting a pet is to KEEP IT. If you can't afford the care and feeding, you shouldn't even be going to the shelter to look.



As for bringing in pets all the time, is the pet constantly having puppies or kittens. Not having your animal spayed or neutered is irresponsible, not to mention the toll that multiple pregnancies takes on a female cat or dog.



They do notice these things. They may even report you to animal control for investigation.Is there a law against frequently giving pets to shelters for adoption?No, there is no such law. However, shelters can and will blacklist families that surrender pets and not allow them to adopt a pet from them. For some, surrendering just one pet will get you on that list, depending on the reason given. For example, at one shelter I volunteered at, two Russian Blue cats were surrendered, with reason given that they clashed with the new sofa set. The woman wanted to adopt two white cats instead. She was denied and placed on the do not adopt list. In many cases, local shelters and rescues often share the information among themselves, too. However, they can't prevent those people from purchasing a pet from another source, and there are a surprising number of people that are frequent offenders.
