The shelter workers didn't write the policy. They're following the rules established by the shelter that adhere to the standards that the Humane Society recommends.
"We do not adopt out "outdoor pets." Pets that are left outside to do not bond as readily with their owners and are prone to nuisance behaviors like barking, escaping, roaming, digging, predatory behavior and other destruction. If applicants currently have an "outdoor pet" their adoption may be denied."
The policy is stupid, that's why I never give one red cent to any of those orginizations. You are correct that they are just following the rules but when they treat you like some third class citizens, you tend to not hold them in the best of lights. I think they're f'd up, it's well within your rights to think otherwise.
