So I told my brother and sister that they could have a dog but we keep not finding the right dog for us however we have decided that we need a dog that is between 5-10 lbs and 4 years and under because Gatsby is 6 lbs and 2 years old and we want them close so we dont have to worry about playing and such.

I have no preference for sex or breed and am even willing to drive out of state for a dog i THINK might be a good match to meet it and what not.

I called up our local toy breed and puppy-mill rescue and told her my criteria
she told me I was selfish and only looking for a dog to sit in my lap and look pretty. when i told her it was for my kids she then called me irresponsible and told me that she would not give me a dog just so it can end up back in the rescue in 2 months. then when she looked over my application again she got mad when she seen i did not own my house
(i have a legal document saying for all intents and purposes the house is mine for the next 4 years,the owner is moving to a condo. She would sell to me but i don't have the money for house this big in this neighborhood)

she denied my application and hung up on me I was in tears I really thought because i did not want a puppy and a mix breed would be lovely Rescue would be great for us

My kids are 11 and 17 very responsible and would do wonderful with a dog of there own

I have a half acre fenced in back yard. no pool and a concrete gazebo

I have 1500 saved up (okay the kids saved up about 900 i put in the rest) for a rehomeing fee and a first vet visit and all the things a new dog needs.

I have already been pre-approved by my pet insurance to add another dog to my policy

I have been setting the money aside in our monthly budget for flea & heart-worm preventative. (Gatsby is not on any because he dose not need it but a new dog might) grooming and food and treats.

I had the kids evaluated by our vet and by a child psychologist to make sure they wear responsible in everyone's eyes and not just my own

my vets (i have two a nutritionist and a regular vet) both wrote me glowing recommendations.

What did I do wrong? Thanks for letting whine I'm just so confused.
