A couple of other things I had on my application for the Maltese puppy mix (that was turned down) were that I am retired and home all day, no kids and we willingly paid enormous vet expenses to keep our past dogs comfortable in the elderly and sick years of their lives, and we gave vet references (which were excellent). I even listed the dogs that I had adopted from their rescue in my application and they were actually vetted at THEIR vet. So all they had to do to check vet references was to look in their own files. One of my rescued dogs that I vetted there lived to be 20 years old and very healthy in my care (she was poodle/pug mix). Our income was no issue here either. I also had on there that we crate train our dogs and our home is already puppy proofed. After we were turned down I came away from this experience thinking that someone was already getting the dog and putting this little guy of TV was just for show.

We didn't have to go thru any of the grilling that others mentioned, but I guess that was because we were never going to be considered in the first place. Out of the 4 applications that they got for that dog, I felt that ours would be way up there at the top of the consideration. I felt really bad by this whole experience. All I could wonder is who the heck are they looking for to adopt this puppy????
