Answer 2

Answer:

Sometimes the animals arrive at the shelter very sick.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best refutes the author's claim. The author claims that adopting a pet from the Ferndale Shelter is a better decision than buying one. However, this statement tells us that often the animals at the shelter are very sick. This means that if you buy an animal there, you might risk buying an animal that is very sick. This statement contradicts the author's claim.
