So I've been on the hunt to look for a rescue pup via shelters and groups before I even try to commit to a breeder. I like the idea of rescuing a baby who has started out with an unsure future and welcoming him/her into my home with all the love left behind by my Max.
Here I am. Seven adoption applications completed & approved and no baby.
All were little Yorkie mixes, one, a Maltese/JRT mix however, all the shelters/organizations came back with several excuses, requirements, and/or "listed the dog as permanent foster". I've received, "you're a perfect candidate but so&so should go to a home with another dog" or "this puppy may be too small for your household"
Is it really this difficult?? I thought the point of rescues were to get these babies to great homes with lots of love. I wasn't even allowed to come see a few of the dogs or chat with the placement folks about my love of animals and my experience with my last dog.
It's so disheartening.
One was really a doll, too. One of six, the smallest, and he is the last of his siblings to be placed...he's still available too but they refuse to fully approve me because I don't have another dog.
