I am all about rescuing and adopting. I bought my Merlot, but I don't want to buy another dog. Since then I have volunteered at various shelters and I have learned too much since then about shelters and dogs without homes to do so. I just wouldn't feel right about it.
Like many other people though, I have run into problems. I live in an apartment with a tiny yard and work full time, so I'm not seen as a good candidate. It doesn't seem to matter that I have a pet sitter and 90% of my free time is spent with my baby at home or various dog parks. I have tried several times and I will keep trying. It's frustrating, but I understand they need to be strict in finding new homes. If only they knew what a grand life Merlot has and my future furbaby will have!
