Ladyjane, I admire rescues and the work they do, I am not meaning to sound unappreciative of any rescue at all. I think you need to LISTEN to what others are saying. It is a COMMON occurrence that people are getting turned down for not having a fenced in yard, for working full time, for having other pets, or having children. Maybe YOUR rescue does not work like that, but other rescues in other places DO. I've heard it and read it on here time and time again. I, always, tell anyone I know looking for a dog to try a rescue first. I most definitely support them, they just didn't work out for me and others for the reasons stated above. 3 - 4 people on this thread alone have mentioned they were turned down for those reasons stated above. This does happen. I think you need to understand that too.
