Please read the post below addressing this issue.... EVERY organization MUST have a set goal to strive for... as well as structured limitations set in place.... or the entire cause turns to chaos.

We all see everyday... good, honest, decent, God fearing people who have all the best intentions in starting out on a journey to bring the much needed help to so many animals that need them....

They are unable to turn ANY needy soul away.... they become overwhelmed... take on too much... too many.... try to help them all..... next thing we see is a story on the ten o' clock news about how this "well meaning woman rescued 300 dogs and was completely overrun!".

There MUST be some form of structure in order to excel....

We could just as easily have set in place a policy to accept only Yorkies between the ages of 4 and 12.... weight ranges of 9 - 18 lbs..... it doesn't matter.... there just HAS to be limitations!
