Humane Society adoption interview felt like a job check
Stacey Hausler of Thurmont recounts a stringent adoption interview at the Humane Society after seeking to adopt a dog for her 1 1/2 year old son. She says staff questioned why a child would feed or care for a pet, and warned against keeping a dog outside, even briefly, saying it could be taken away if found chained or kept outdoors.
