what i ment was before i got my dogs i thought about who would have them if i went in to hospital or if i died,and i have a good family and friends who i knew would have the dogs if something happened to me,so i got the dogs,my point was if i hadnt of had that back up i wouldnt of got a dog in the first place. yes id want them to make sure my dog was looked after.i do think some places are to strict ie you cant adopt cos you have kids, a dog,no fenced yard,as i said before aslong as the kids meet the dog and they handle the dog right,the dog already at the home meets the new dog and they get on fine,and the yard is safe or the owners dont leave the dog on its own in the garden they should be allowed to adopt.i also think sometimes a rescue place can tell if that person is a good dog owner or not.the place i got mine from are ment to do home checks b4 the dog goes there but they didnt with me as i took my other dogs with me and they said they could see that i knew what i was doing and my dogs were well cared for and loved,so they let me take the dog home there and then,they just did a follow up home vist 3 months later.
