One reviewer, a non-resident, reported that the shelter required extensive proof (beyond a photo) to accept found puppies, citing a Facebook post as the only acceptable evidence. The shelter also suggested leaving the puppies where found, which the reviewer found concerning. This suggests limited flexibility for non-residents or those lacking detailed documentation.
