Sometimes people end up buying from BYB's because they meet up with someone at a rescue on a power trip. I went through that about 8 years ago when I wanted to adopt a dog. They wouldn't consider me because I worked and they didn't feel I could give enough quality time with the dog. I think that's bullpoopy. I work full time now and my pets are well adjusted, much loved and very well taken cared for. |

This is true sometimes, and it makes me mad whenever I hear of so many people have been treated the same way. I have a customer who wanted to adopt a dog from the petsmart (or it could have been petco) adoption days. He said the lady had such an attitude and was power tripping, and bc since he worked, he couldn't adopt a dog bc he wasn't home for 9 hrs each day. Well, doesn't everyone work? Don't you need to work to make money to spoil the dog? Don't these dogs need homes? Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to me. Another customer heard his conversation with the adoption lady, and she told him, sometimes you just have to lie.
Now that I am a foster mom, I interview potential adoptive parents too. I feel there is absolutely NO reason to be mean and power trippy. If you don't feel the person is a match, then they are not, but I dont understand why some have to be so downright mean.
