Glad to hear this story had a happy ending. Unfortunately, animal laws in southern states are so lax, it's pitiful; hence the egregious over population problem. Many rescues ship van fulls of homeless pets to northern states on a regular basis, which have strict spay/neuter laws, causing a shortage of animals to adopt. Many people down here in the south simply refuse to spay/neuter, and it's so frustrating. Those of us who know better bang our heads against the wall trying to educate people about the benefits of spaying/neutering (and the perils of not doing so) - praying that one day it'll sink in!
Things are a'changin Lee and Collier counties in South West Florida.
Both have just recently passed rigid animal control laws.
Lee county ordinances just about prohibit back yard breeding, among other effective restrictions.
