I tried to get information about this Yorkie last night. I saw him on Pet Finders. Peke A Tzu Rescue has a disclaimer on Pet Finders that says they will not give any specific information about their animals without a complete adoption filled out. I complied and filled out the app. Babsey has seizures and is not housebroken. I know this when I 'applied'. I completed the application thinking I could talk to the Foster to understand the severity of the medical condition and then make a decision if I could or should rescue this dog. If I couldn't adopt him I very well could have 'sponsored' him. Because I did not complete part of their application regarding what dog health problems or behavioral issues I would or would not work with- my application was immediately declined.. in fact..Here is the EXACT reply I received(I have copied and pasted verbatim):

Thank you Sandy and Rich for your application. You have placed an
application for Babsey who is not house trained and has seizures, but you
have indicated that you are not willing to work with either.

We will not be processing your application based on the above.

Sincerely,

Jan Collins

I did not indicate that I would not work with a pet that has issues as they imply. Did these people call me to inquire if I had overlooked that part of their interrogation, did they call me to inquire if maybe I'd like to talk to them further about Babsey's issues, did they check my Vet reference, my personal references, or call my groomer??? NO NO NO NO and NO again...

I don't know who these rescue groups think they are. Here I am a responsible pet owner. Someone who wants to rescue a pet. One who just lost a 16 yr old former rescue with multiple medical problems so I know a little bit about caring for an ailing pet and they don't even give me the courtesy of a phone call.

These groups have to be missing opportunities to place these very needy pets in great homes because of their cavalier and judgemental attitudes. All I wanted was to talk to someone to make an inquiry. They have really torqued me! I'll continue to give to my local humane society. Sorry Rescue Groups- you don't deserve my time or my money..... I'm most sorry for all of the animals especially Yorkies who so desperately want a fur-ever home...
