I've adopted some dogs long distance from out of my state animal shelters and they all have different policies.
First a person has to find out if this shelter will even adopt to out of town people. If they do the paperwork has to be faxed, the fees paid, pet transporter paid to get the dogs to local Vet for everything they need. Of course the Vet needs a full deposit to cover the basics, Vaccines, worming, de-bugging, neutering the male and probably an expensive spay on a pregnant female.
Then there is airline costs to fly the healthy dogs to you.
Most of these shelters are closed for weekends and friday is like the doomsday for a lot of the harder to adopt dogs.
If you're interested act now. If the dogs were pretty bad, aggressive- usually a shelter will not even offer the dogs for adoption. They are probably just another pair of un-neutered dogs, kept in the yard friendly and untrained. Everything is up to the new owner how they turn out. Seperated, spayed/neutered and trained they could be very nice pets.
