We wanted to adopt a dog. We found a dog we liked. We also liked the 2 week foster-to-adopt program, and we went home with the puppy. Two days later, we had to return the dog because the dog was sick - turns out he had Parvo and was not checked out by their vet before he was released to our home. That infected our home and it had to be cleaned top to bottom in bleach.

After over a week of waiting for the dog to get out of the vet hospital, we found out the shelter's vet wanted to barter his services and the vet bill in trade for the dog. After a week battle against this, the shelter called to say that they decided to go with the vet.

After having exposure to Parvo in the home, the length of time before we can safely bring another puppy in our home is questionable.

I would be very cautious if you try to adopt from this shelter. Hopefully, what happened to us won't happen to any other potential and hopefully pet parents.
