Interesting question. I tried to adopt 6 times and was denied for the following reasons:
1) They didn't want the dog to be alone during the day while we worked
2) They wanted the dog to have another dog to be around
Therefore, we ended up getting a full breed yorkie who is happy as can be - he is the only dog and he is alone during the day and does just fine. He gets tons of love and affection.
I never could understand why the dog shelters in the SF Bay Area rejected us so many times just because we both work full time.
