Just a note from someone who has rescued and worked with dogs to let you know that usually they are so busy trying to care for and help the dog with its adjustments in addition to other dogs and families and work, they just may not have time right now to spare. You made your decision as hard as it was and I would trust the love of the people who do this that your dogs are being cared for and made as happy as is possible even if they don't have any time for you right now. The first few weeks can be pretty intense with some dogs and it takes a great deal of time working with them - often to the exclusion of your own regular life! Euthanasia for rescued dogs is the last thing a rescuer ever has on their mind! Thank God for rescue as without them, so many dogs would have to go to Animal Control shelters and maybe never get a second chance. Try to rest in the knowledge that whoever has your dog is devoted to dogs and giving them as great a life as they can possibly have - that should count for a lot.
