Sometimes certain rescues only see black and white and no grey. Not saying that makes them bad or good just saying that's what I've seen. I know some people find the home visits intrusive and the lengthy paperwork too much hassle.
Again- No reputable rescue would give a dog to someone that planned to breed. But if it is the home visit the OP has a problem with I know lots of rescues that do not require this. At my shelter we currently have 4 yorkies (3 look full bred) that are available for adoption, no home check needed so just saying their are options out there. |
No disrespect, but just because a person seems nice, it does not make them good pet owners. I learned one thing in rescue...never judge a book by its cover! I have talked withe people who I thought were awesome only to do a vet check and be horrified... I remember a woman in Galveston who I was so excited about. Called the vet...not only did she not do HW preventatives, she had an "outside dog" (something I hate so much...but another topic) who was HW positive and she refused treatment! You really don't know them until you do a vet check and home visit...there is no way I will cut those corners.
This is why we require an application before we will discuss our pups with a person.
