Yep. Creepy
Some people I used to work for adopted a pair of dogs and had to sign a 25 page legal adoption. In addition to the conditions noted, the group may remove the dogs at anytime for any reason. They have an animal control officer working with them who seizes dogs and then provides them to this group to adopt out. I feel the whole thing is highly suspect.
A lot of horse rescues run the same racket unfortunately.
Okay get this some of these rescues won’t let you adopt if you are out of state too! Like one I found in Kentucky you can only adopt from it if you in KY IN and I think OH. Now you figure they take in dogs form other states, I know the rescue my shelter was sending dogs to was in Penn. so that gives you some idea. The dogs in this rescue could have come from W.Va but yet I can’t do and adopt from them! Sorry for my language but that is bull shit.
