A rescue dog should not have to go through this over and over, and that's why it's so important that rescues find the *right* home. So, I don't think rescues should change this practice -- perhaps they just need to do a better job of communicating WHY they are so choosy, so that their choosiness doesn't alienate clients - rather, it helps the client identify w/ the fact that the choosiness is about the *animal*, not the client.
This article is GREAT! |
Absolutely, I do agree Ann about doing a better job of communicating why our rescues have the criteria they do. And, explaining with Respect and Humility as Quicksilver mentions in her post. Depending upon the way a rejection is explained can make a huge difference in how rescues are perceived.
