I tried on several occasions to adopt from a rescue! For a few years whenever I would see a small breed pictured on a local rescue website I would hurry to go see and was always told there was a long waiting list ahead of me. One day I was at the local shelter when someone brought in a small breed. I asked about it and was told I couldnt apply for adoption until it was cleared. I asked about putting my name on it so when it was cleared I would allready be concidered. I was told it cant be done. That dog never appeared on there web site, so someone allready had dibs on her or him ?? Anyway after trying to adopt a small breed from the shelter I gave up!! I was allready approved to adopt but it looks like unless you know someone you are not concidered!!!!!! |
