I've had a rescue dog before she was a Boxer and MEAN, I had to watch her around everyone except my DH and my kids. She came from a local kill shelter. They never have small dogs only the larger guys.

I too tried to rescue, and was turned down because I have children.

I've been turned down by certain purebred rescues and I won't even bother trying anymore. The last time I tried was before I bought Jersey, the dog was about two years old, had a few health issues and was a Yorkie mix. I was asked if I could afford to continue his medical treatments, I answered "yes", then I was asked about a fenced yard, "yes" again, then about children, "yes" but older children, then they wanted to know if I had other dogs and I do, so I was turned down. I found the rescue dog online and the ad about him stated he was "great with other animals". I just don't get it...I do hate that there are so many dogs and pups needing homes but apparently my home isn't good enough for them so I must buy my furkids from breeders.
