I must be a horrible pet owner then because I have not one but 2 yorkies in an apartment. I would say that is a silly reason. A reasonably intelligent person can click "allows dogs" on their apartment search, just like I did the last 4 apartments (including one in another state) I've moved to. I am not trying to personally attack rescues, I work at one for crying out loud. And yes maybe they seem nice an they are really lying but I try and see the good in people and we do make sure the adopters have a vet and ask them if any current dogs are on HW prevention and up to date with shots. I am not saying hand out a dog to everyone I am just saying I have seen paperwork from a lady who tried to adopt a doxie for a dachshund rescue who was 60 (which in my book is not too old to have a dog) she was looking for an adult dog and her young daughter was willing to care for the dog if her mom was no longer able to so I found a doxie for her. Happy ending for her and the dog. Again I am just saying their are other options, if you do not like one rescues policies you should look around. If you are a horrible pet owner then you probably wont go through that much trouble and just buy one at the store or go to the city shelter where they don't ask questions.
