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.
OK - thanks for that insight!! It explains why our animal shelter had no puppies available for adoption all summer long......
Up here, we have steep dog license fees for unaltered animals; in my county, a 3-yr license is $60 for an intact dog and $18 for a neutered/spayed dog.
