Hey Erica wouldn't it be great if pet guardians in the U.S. were as enlightened as European pet guardians?? But guess what they aren't! For God's sake you said it yourself in your comment! And the overpopulation of animals in the U.S. continues at a furious pace! Can't believe you wouldn't give kudos as I do to the kennel you spoke of that promotes spaying and neutering as they are trying to be part of the solution. If you want your dog(s) to remain intact there are certainly kennels that will accommodate you. But please be sure your gate stays closed your boy/girl dog may get out and make puppies then you too will be part of the pet overpopulation problem and all the suffering that goes along with it.
