It is the belief of reputable rescues that these dogs have already lost one or two homes and they do not want to do this to the dog again so they have very high standards on placing these dogs that they have rescued. In many cases they have invested a great deal of $$$ to fix these dogs and they are doing the job a good breeder should have done at the beginning.

A home check is when they come to see if you really are who you say you are and that everything you filled out on your application is true.

If you are only looking at rescue as a means to get a less expensive dog then you will not be happy with the process. Many of us that have rescue dogs understand some of these poor dogs have come from terrible backgrounds and we understand the need to place these dogs in good homse.
