This past weekend was the orange pet expo. We had 3 yorkies for adoption. I do not feel we are unreasonable with our requirements. However I do feel that most people who are adopting are. As someone already stated they want a female puppy, perfect health housetrained and 3-4 pounds. They want to know the dogs "story", after all they have to impress their friends with their "rescue". Oh, they also have to be cheap, because since they are rescues we should be happy to get rid of them. Yes mill dogs and a lot of rescue dogs have health issues. And if we know about them, so do you. People get offended when we ask about their financial status but we need to be sure they will able to afford future medical care that all dogs require as they age. We adopted 1 yorkie to a wonderful home and took applications on 1 who needs futher care until his broken leg is healed. We were very clear on when the adoption could take place but today at his check found out it would be another 4-5 weeks instead of the expected 2-3 . We will be calling all who left applications. We are picky, but I don't feel we're unreasonable. |
