ladyjane, I find your answer kind of confusing. I see some of what you are saying, but I also see statements that most application rescues aren't that great (meaning, presumably that at least some of us here were turned down because WE'RE not so great), that it IS hard to get a rescue pup, but that not all rescues use the same criteria (so maybe it's easy? Or is it hard?).
I see your point about not telling people why they've been rejected, but at them same time, how can people improve their situation if they don't know what's wrong?
Of course you can't just turn dogs over at will to make people happy - but making it really hard and mysterious and disappointing basically means rescue is not a viable option. Which is it? |
