Basic pet care

The following is an actual event. It really happened.
The phone rang and on the other end of the line was a woman who had adopted her dog from the shelter 14 years ago.
It seems animal control had picked up her dog and they needed proof of vaccinations before it could be released back to her. She wanted to know if the shelter still had the dog's rabies vaccination from 14 years ago. What?
In 14 years her dog had never been to the vet and now she wanted us to get the dog's shot record from 14 years ago?
And people wonder why shelters ask so many questions and have so many requirements. Maybe people need to be educated on basic care for your pet.
