This is such a tough question. I am an adoption caseworker for a child adoption agency, and I do home studies for people who want to adopt children. Yes, we have turned down some people. Of course everyone would understand that. On the flip side, so many wonderful dogs are put to death each day due to lack of good homes. So what should be the criteria for finding a forever home? Our baby is a runner, and yes, we should have a fenced yard. But we have a huge deck that makes our yard nearly impossible to fence for our dog. So we have to be watchful and take her out on a leash. Does that make us bad Yorkie parents? I hope not, but we probably wouldn't get a rescue. I understand, but yet I don't.
