That's true, but w/ rescues having soo many restrictions, it's a very limited number of people who can adopt. Then people complain about overpopulated shelters. I think if they made acceptions here and there (like OK, you don't have a fenced in yard, but you ARE a stay at home mom, etc) then the problem wouldn't be probably half as bad. Also, for the dogs sake, I think they rather go to a family w/ no fence, or a family who works full time, or a family w/ kids instead of living in a shelter and being confined to a cage most of the time. I know shelters have the dogs interest in heart, but they need to realize that their being soo protective, that sometimes this can cause more harm than it does good.
