[Jemma]

But maybe someone can help me to understand. The rescue in NY did not go through. I found another rescue closer to me and was looking at what yorkies they had for adoption. I found 2 that might be a match with us. One was a pup the other 2 years old. I was looking more at the 2 yr old. She was a hair under 5 pounds, jemma is 6 pounds so that's pretty close. Ok, here it is. I called the number. I wanted to find out the dogs activity level. Jemma has a high level and if that dog was quiet and laid back jemma might be too much on her. I could not even ask that question until a application was filled and they reviewed it which could take up to a month so the dog could be gone and no longer available. Well if he could have at least answered that one question I would have found out if a application should even filled out. So what is the point of me filling out a application after waiting up to a month to hear sorry the dog is no longer available?
Also why is there such a hugh difference in adoption fees. Why should a rescue charged 750.00 for a 2 year old and 350.00 for a 4 yr old? If the dog is being adopted what difference is there in age. Don't they realize the longer the dog is in foster care the more it is gonna cost rescue to care for it. Its not like the rescue put more care into the younger dog. Now for those in rescue, I care deeply for all you do. I'm not asking to be jumped on I'm asking so I can understand. Btw out of sheer frustration I just didn't fill out the application. If the dog matched he would have had a wonderful home with jemma and I. I also won't pay 750.00. A little too much in my book
