i do hope that people who have had good experiences with rescues can share their stories so that it is something encouraging for us to read, because after my experience with that rescue, it really really put a bad taste in my mouth, and i have become pretty unwilling and reluctant to work with rescues, even though logically i know that NOT all rescues are like that! |
Our Yorkie came from a no kill rescue however I found the dog online through petfinder.com and they had a phone number to call. I spoke to the lady who had the dog in her care for an hour then went to meet her the next day and see the dog at an adoption. I never filled out an application just a check when I bought her and an agreement that if for some reason I could't keep her I'd return her to them. The rescue is only a few miles from our home and the adoption even closer. So being able to show up in person might have made the difference.
