It's a catch 22. The reasons aren't legitimate, but yet the dog deserves better than to live with such a person that offers those reasons. If they don't only look for homes that allow their dog, if they don't sell/give up every luxury they have to provide for their dog, if they don't care for their dog in it's senior years, then that dog surely is not well-loved and truly a member of a family? It seems the sadness starts before the dog ever gets to a rescue.
