as for feeling that this person wasn't the best home for the dog. i have my own reasons, but a person that works in a vet clinic, has their own home and has a yard fenced and has a yorkie already DOES make a better application for a good home than an apartment dweller with no previous dog owning experience and in MY experience rescue groups that are doing it for the dog's sake ALWAYS check references and make sure the BEST home wins out no matter what order the apps. come in. |
This dog was in Animal Control, right? They operate much differently than rescue groups. They have a very high kill rate and I'm sure were delighted when someone showed up to fill out an application for the dog. They certainly weren't going to turn her down based upon a phone call from someone else the night before who might or might not show up.
I'd suggest working with a rescue group if you have decided to add another Yorkie to your family. Then you can be guaranteed your application will be evaluated on its merits, not the order it was submitted.
