I feel that a "rescue" is just that and should take any dog if surrendered .A lot of dogs are surrendered for a lot of reasons. Sometimes but not all the time they have issues and that is why the family does surrender them in the first place. |
Rescues work very hard to accomodate all pups in need. Sadly, they cannot take them all.
You must remember that not everyone is capable of dealing with some issues...whether physical or behavioral. The people who work with rescue and foster are people just like you with families, jobs and obligations of their own. There is also a limit to how many each foster home can take.
Shelters are the ones who take them all...the problem often is that some pups have not been handled properly by their owners in many cases and end up euthanized because there is no place to put them.
