thank you so much that is what I do before anything is look up their adoption requirements and I find it is no wonder why rescue's are over loaded. I mean not everyone will have a fence and just because you have one doesn't mean you will love the dog more than someone who doesn't. That is what I don't get I do get the requirements to a point BUT I am a total advocate for adoptions and have zero tolerance to dog abuse of any kind. I would tell my tenants that. I always rented my apartment to someone with a dog because I found a dog and a responsible owner did not do nearly the damage as some children did. But I have know many people who would rather adopt and when they get turned down every time they give up and go to a breeder. Because honestly you can get a puppy for the same price as an adult dog who is already 5 years old. I don't know some people in rescue think they are God and sadly what they don't realize is you get your hopes up for this dog only to be shattered at the end of the process. The best luck I have had is at a Humane Society they check your license, if you rent they make sure you are allowed to have a dog and that is about it. I appreciate your reply. In fact I even tried to adopt one from Craig's List and found out tonight they adopted the Yorkie to a family with a stay at home mom and 2 older teenagers. That is fine but I honestly feel if I had not inquired I never would have known. I mean I lose sleep over stuff like this. I guess I will have to change that

I have worked in rescue, I have fostered dog's and I would literally fight for them if necessary and I feel if they turn me down they are really missing out on a great owner. I had a Rottweiler who I would take a bullet for he was that awesome, much better than a husband as I knew he always had my back, always! He is at Rainbow Bridge now waiting for me. I think I loved that dog more than life itself.
