[quote=Anonymous]So, our much beloved dog died almost a year ago at age 14. I am now thinking about getting another dog and have contacted several rescue organizations, expressing interest in dogs of various ages. All have told me that the dog can't be alone more than 6 hours a day, disqualifying us from adoption as I work FT.

This is extremely frustrating and sad to me because we would love the dog and he/she would have a good home, yes we would hire a dog walker. We also believe in rescuing a dog instead of going to a breeder as there are many good dogs in search of good homes. However, do to all the parameters the rescue organizations set, we will be forced to go to a breeder in order to get a new dog. This seems illogical and against the purpose of rescue organizations, which apparently limit themselves to families where both parents don't work.

This is mostly rant, but also advice seeking. I would really prefer to rescue a dog, but they seem to not see us as a good fit. Can anyone recommend a rescue organization that is maybe less narrow minded and actually cares about giving the dog a good "forever home." or should we just give up on a rescue and go with a breeder?
