Shelters are understaffed and underfunded and do not take the time to find all the problems or non-problems with the pets they are trying to find homes for. What may be seen as a fat or lazy animal to an animal shelter might be a larger problem that is ignored.
You could actually save your new pets life by taking them to your personal vet for a check up.
