At least that is what we do we read through that application to see if they are suitable. For example if they would hit there dog. Believe it or not most people tell us that they will smack the dog or tie it up in their kitchen all day until it is housetrained  We have provisions such as no kids under 10 however we do make an exception. We would bring several other dogs with us during the homevisit to see how the child would react. So to say that rescues are bad really hurts me alot I give my life and time to these dogs and carefully place each one. We have rules in place to protect them and only them because if we can't protect them then no one will. Like I said before I understand the families pain but rules are rules. Contracts are contracts if this was any other person no one would care.
in addition to someone asking me about were I heard about the family not filling out the application it was on cnn. |
I heard on Chronicle last night that the family DID fill out an application to rescue iggy.
Not ALL rescues are bad, actually NONE are BAD. Just too strict. You may be one of few that do not reject suitable homes for assinine reasons, but many many people have told some pretty sad stories (myself included) of rejection from a rescue for a dog that they wanted to give a good home to. I personally was rejected because I worked full time. I have no children, had a fenced in yard at the time, etc. The only reason I was rejected from 2 rescues was because I worked! Thats HORRIBLE!
