receipt of the applications were never even acknowledged. A note saying "Thank you for considering a rescue. We are processing your application" would be nice...

I had a thread about this very thing a month or so ago.
Our heart is really with rescue, and I inquire about dogs on Petfinder from time to time. RARELY do I ever get ANY kind of response. I know it's volunteers, they're busy, blah blah blah...but come on...HOW HARD would it be to at least ACKNOWLEDGE an application with one or two sentences. A FORM letter, for pete's sake.
I think it's really unprofessional, and so many people are getting turned off of rescue because of lack of response, and because of the strict qualifications.
Sad thing is, it's the UNSCRUPULOUS people will lie and portray themselves however they need to in order to be able to get the animal. Honest people like me tell the truth about not having a fenced in yard, or having kids under the age of 10...and our application just automatically gets rejected.
It's discouraging.
