My parents who have owned dogs all of their lives, and are very well off financially tried to get a dog from a rescue last year. My father was turned down from a rescue because when they called the vet from their last dog my dad did not have a blood test done on the dog. All of their dogs have lived to 15-17 yrs. He finally did adopt one. I know they are extremely careful about
the homes these animals go to.
my son is very allergic to cats , so I will never be able to have one. IMO why have an animal in the home that is not a good match for everybody who lives in the household?
I am sorry things did not work out for you and your fiance.
