My inlaws wanted to adopt this lhasa apso they saw on petfinder, they filled out the application, then somaone called them and told them to send 3 references, they did, then the were asked to write an essay about why they wanted to adopt a rescue dog and why they wanted that breed, but wait, they didn't want one esay from both of them, each of themhad to write a separate essay! well, they did. They received a call from the rescue group telling them that the next step was to set an interview with them and that it could take up to six months before the interview could take place ahh! and by the way that the dog they wanted had already been adopted. After that my in laws told the rescue people to forget about it and the next day they went to a breeder and got a puppy.
I understand that rescue groups want the best fro their dogs, but come on! being that strict only takes away the chance for a dog to get a loving and nice family too. |
