My daughter had a rather bad experience with a rescue in Minneapolis. Maybe they just don't have enough volunteers as was mentioned before. But they fostered a dog for nearly a year and could never get hold of the woman who was their contact. When they decided to adopt the dog, they were not even encouraged. In fact, when the dog was ill, and they spent money at the emergency vet, they were discouraged for doing so. They finally just said that they would not ask to be paid back but wanted the dog. It took weeks before they were actually told he was staying. During the time Wally was with them and on Petfinder, there was only one couple that came to see him. It was like he was in a safe place so they just forgot about him.
