E. No animal will be given to the custody of a person who, in the judgment of the Supervisor, is requesting the animal with the intent to transfer ownership, sell it, or use it for laboratory or experimental purposes. The transfer of ownership restrictions do not apply when, at the discretion of the Supervisor, an animal is given to a not-for-profit charitable organization incorporated in the State which has as part of its mission the placement of animals in a good home. Any such organization shall comply with all the requirements set forth in this Chapter regarding the spaying or neutering, vaccination, and licensing of animals.

F. Pursuant to Section 273.403, RSMo., provisions shall be made for the sterilization of all dogs and cats released for adoption. All costs of sterilization shall be paid by the prospective adopter or purchaser, unless otherwise provided.
