Sorry if im not posting this in the right place, im new.
So i read a few other threads about this topic, i saw a few people mention that they had never heard anything about people being required to spay/neuter by a breeder, however, at least in the places i've looked, it does seem that most breeders do require that you fix any dog that you buy from them, at least here in the USA. Furthermore, i was considering using the website adoptapet.com to find a furry friend, but, at least based on the ones i've seen, they're required to be spayed within 30 days of adoption, if they aren't already. For the record, this isnt just a sex thing for me, i have a bit of a moral issue with it, i just cant help but think if someone threw me in a cage, drove me to the doctor, and proceed to knock me out only for me to wake up without my testicles, i would probably be a little upset, to say the least. but thats a different topic. To be brutally honest, i dont mind a little bit of "legal ambiguity" when it comes to stuff like this, i.e. if i was required to sign a legal document stating i would get the dog spayed, even if i have no intention to actually do it, i wouldn't have a moral issue with it.
So i guess my question is, how would a breeder/website/individual realistically figure out that i didnt actually spay the dog? And what action would they take from there in terms of making sure the dog actually gets spayed?
