[quote=Anonymous]Agreed. We had a rescue dog for 14 years who was the four legged light of our lives and grew up with our kids. When she passed, it took a lot to feel ready to adopt another dog. We applied with great hope to Kyras rescue for a golden retriever brought over from a Turkey. Went through a home inspection, paid a fee, let them know we were flexible about which dog we got, and still we were rejected. One reason might have been that we live on a busy street, with a fence a puppy could slip through. Well we told them we would add netting to the fence to prevent that. Maybe they were scared off by our kids, who love dogs and know every dog in the neighborhood. Well, we ended up going to a breeder reluctantly and got our dog. The breeder was very reputable our dog was bred from orizewinners. But after we got her home, we realized she had a urine leaking problem. Turned out to be congenital birth defect.!We ended up paying nearly $5k got surgery to get the problem resolved (and the breeder offered to fully refund her fee). Point of the story is, we saved this figs life. We’re a loving and compassionate dog family, but the rescue org passed us over. If you desperately want a dog and feel manipulated by rescues, you should go to one of the on the spot adoption events, a shelter, or find a reputable breeder.
