SB2891 requires animal shelters to provide adopters with written information about the dog or cat, including its breed, age, sex, color, medical history, and adoption fees. Shelters must also disclose if the animal has bitten or scratched anyone, or if it has killed livestock or companion animals. Shelters cannot adopt out dogs deemed vicious or dangerous under the Animal Control Act. Shelters must allow adopters to return animals if they are not free of disease, injury, or abnormality, provided the shelter discloses this information in writing.
