Working and living in a condo are not reasons for rescues to turn someone down.
It all depends on the dog you are looking to adopt.
If you applied for a dog that was a "runner", then the rescue might be looking for a secure yard.
If you applied for a dog that does not socialize with other dogs well, the rescue might be looking for an only dog home.
If you applied for a dog that the rescue felt would not do well for long periods alone, then job might be a problem
A thorough and careful rescue will weigh everything when adopting. A pup should be kept long enough to do a thorough evaluation of its needs and then a home found that is a good fit for the pup.
If we turned down every home that had people who work. other pets, and/or no fenced in yard, we would not be adopting many
