When you adopt a puppy do you have to fill out any legal papers or go to court over it? I want to adopt a puppy but my parents wouldn't go to court for it. :(

1. you go to an animal shelter and adopt one. There is generally a small fee. When we did this it was the cost up front that any vet could apply for when the did the Spading of our adopted puppy.
2. You go to a Pet Store or a Breeder and buy a purebred dog. This is expensive and there is paperwork and usually a contract of sale, from breeders, than is completed.
Puppies are seen as property therefore the adoption is a formality and not something covered by law. There is no need to go to court for a formal court hearing. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Some adoption agencies require you to fill out some paperwork, or have a home visiting, but there shouldn't be anything to do with a judge or a court. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
