It was an adoption party for dogs and cat in Arizona. From the Tucson Citizen:
A total of 156 dogs and cats were adopted during Midnight Muttness, a Pima Animal Care Center adoption party Friday, according to Michele Romero, enforcement support supervisor at the center."This sets a record for the largest number of animals adopted in the state of Arizona in one day," said the Web site for the county facility at 4000 N. Silverbell Road.
For our rats and guinea pigs, we were asked if we knew how and what to feed them (we purchased books when we filled out the apps), we were asked who would care for them, and if we had a vet lined up.
I understand if you apply for dogs and cats house visits are made, but our interviews for the rodents were over the phone. People do get turned down: I know of a lawyer who was turned down for a dog because he (the lawyer) worked ver long hours (he did, too) and wouldn't be able to properly bond with the dog--which is true.
