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.
I hear you. I went through the same thing. I am huge on rescuing. I can not see how people can toss away cats and dogs they way that they do. My kitties were rescues. I ended up going to a reputable show breeder. I have Galen. I can't not imagine not having him. Sometimes things are just ment to be. Good luck in your search
