That's exactly what I just posted about..lol. They ask soo many questions, some do atleast...beyond the necessary questions. One rescue requires references and in addition wants to come to the house. I guess they don't believe the applications (what's the point on asking if you have a fenced in yard if their not going to believe you) If I have to go through this trouble w/ someone not believing me, then I say forget it. It's really sad because some dogs (like in your case) don't get adopted, and that definitly is part of the overpopulated shelter problem.
