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.
Yes I can see your point on foster's not wanting to take a dog with biting issues.

I think you must have more smaller dog breeds available in the rescues and shelters down there. Up this way small breeds (yorkie's especially) are gone in no time and hard to come across.I had put my name in for a little yorkie rescue one year old from a mill. He had no teeth and was adorable. He already had many names on the list for him so didnt even have a chance.I wanted an adult for Jackson around one or two but no luck. Got the pup (Tommy) only to find out I had servere allergies to him.
