It does not matter where your heart is or what your intentions are, when you get that rescue dog, all that goes out the window. The only thing that matters is your commitment level. And even that (on certain days) can go out the window. The rules are in place so not only is the placement a success for the dog, but a success for you too. And believe me, you need all the advantages you can take and these rules put those advantages in place. |
That just it. I have TRIED to adopt rescues and because of the reasons I listed I am turned down. I am glad you were able to adopt but that won't happen for many of us. SO instead we turn to breeders.
