I think this is OK for certain situations.
For example, the shelter I volunteer for has the volunteers, like myself,
fostering the animals before they find them homes. Personally, I would like
to know something about the people the cat I am fostering is going to.
As for picking up an animal from your local public shelter, ASPCA or
whatever? I don't believe they make such a fuss - and I am reasonably sure
they don't ask for proof, so it's a bit of a formality anyway.
