I know it's frustrating from your end, but you really have to see the other side of it. I too volunteer for a rescue and it's hard....

These little dogs, yorkies especially, get A LOT of applications. If there is the slightest discretion on the application, they won't approve you because there are plenty of other choices in applicants. They want these dogs to go to the best of the best homes as they've already been hurt enough... not saying that you aren't a good home, I'm just saying they have to be choosey. And with all the applicants, they probably don't have the time to call each person individually and tell them why they weren't approved. I'm sure you aren't the only applicant for that little girl.

I've seen people be denied for the slightest little thing. It's sad for the people, but honestly, it's about the dog, not the people. My advice is to fill out the application completely... you'd probably get a better response.

And I'll close by saying - everything happens for a reason! Maybe you aren't supposed to have this one. Maybe there is another one out there waiting for you to bring him/her home.
