[quote=Anonymous]Having worked for rescues, if you're not willing to fill out some paperwork, then you're not ready to have a dog.  People really bristle about the home visits, but I have done them.  It's mainly to make sure it's not a hoarding, dog bait or anything else that's crazy.  Please don't clean your home for me or get stressed about it.  The only thing that may possibly get checked is the fence, depending on the rescue. So, from my perspective, it's not really a bunch of hoops to jump through given the time commitment.
I'm always surprised people say it's hard to adopt.  I could have brought home 200 animals by now. I have multiple kids and no fence and no issue finding people to adopt to me.  The breed specific rescues are often more stringent. k9 lifesavers, Wolf Trap (mostly puppies), Lost Dog - the ones who bring up dogs from the south and have mutts or various breeds - are usually more relaxed. 
Good luck! Please stick with it.If you are more specific about what breed or size of dog, maybe we can help you.
