Question

My family is looking to adopt this lab from our local shelter (she is a 2 year old lab) and she is being spayed on the 23rd. I was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes before the shelter would let this dog be adopted after she is spayed
Thanks xx

Answer 1

Shelter policies vary. It can be as soon as the same day. Generally you can apply to adopt before the dog is available, and should. They can tell you when she can go home if you're approved.

Answer 2

About a week is right as rehoming is very stressful, then if there any external stitches your own vet can take them out a few days later.
