[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A rescue. Go to a rescue.[/quote]

According to the rescues I need to give up my child in order to get a dog.  Not willing to do that.[/quote]

Some are unreasonable, but not all. I volunteer with Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and have been fostering for them since my daughter was 4 (she’s now 12). Didn’t even have a fence. [/quote]

We looked into rescues too and none would give us a dog because our child is too young. [/quote]

My impression is that they don’t enforce these rules in an evenhanded way.  They decide whether they like you and then use the rules as an excuse if they don’t.  95% of the population doesn’t fit their rules so they’d adopt out virtually no dogs if they actually enforced them across the board.[/quote]

The lab rescues would only allow us to adopt dogs if they had a proven track record with living with kids prior to being given up for adoption. They wouldn’t even send us profiles of dogs who didn’t meet this criteria. [/quote]

Crazy.  Labs are known as one of most kid friendly breeds.  [/quote]

Yeah. Like the PP said, maybe they just didn’t like us anyway. We have a fenced in yard but not a huge one because it’s a townhouse. Maybe that was our problem? Anyway, we went with a reputable breeder and have a great dog.
