Most rescues are very clear about what they are looking for .. and to those of you who think the rules are too strict...put some rescue shoes on and be responsible for a few pups and then you might just have a different outlook.
It is true that sometimes good people get passed over....one must always keep in mind that the first and most important thing to consider in rescue is the pup...not the people who want the pup. If you find the right home for a pup then everyone will be happy. I have seen rescues place pups in homes based upon the old, this is a good person"" thing, and it so often does not work. Then, if the pup is lucky, it is returned to rescue. These pups go through enough before we get them and we owe it to them to do everything in our power to place them in homes where they will not be failed again.
Until you do it, you really cannot possibly understand how and why we do what we do!
I waited for two years before I got my first rescue pup....I did not understand the process and felt as many of you do. I do understand it now.
