Ive had the SAME experiences and eventually bought my 2 boys from a breeder as well. I also had it with a Rotty I tried to adopt! its very sad that the 'good ones' like us, are rejected for insane reasons, but I guess they really do need to make sure the people and home are good so the dogs dont end up back there. But I really think that a personal evaluation, rather than a home evaluation should be more important! I mean I could walk 10 dogs, 10x a day if I had to, so just bc I dont have a yard does not mean that my dogs do not get the exercise they need! WHATEVER! haha (sorry, I get a bit heated when I think of how many times I was rejected when I KNOW I provide a great home!!)
