[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can probably persuade an adoption place that you're serious if you are convincing about how you plan to ensure the dog gets ample exercise.  It becomes very onerous to have to walk a dog 3 times a day  but it is necessary if you want them to have a reasonable quality of life.  If people are not willing to walk them or pay someone to walk them 3 times every single day in rain snow heat and freezing wind, then please don't get a dog.  The walks should be outdoors therapy (or use the time to make phone calls or visit neighbors.)  Leaving a dog in the yard to pee and poop is really not the ticket, and you can make this case to the adoption people.  [/quote]

We couldn't persuade a D.C. Rescue we were competent. We tried a few.

We actually have a yard but the dog I got out of state is shy and nervous alone.  We have had him 2 years and he has never gone outside alone without me.  In the winter I shovel him a place that is nice and low so he can pee without touching the snow (we moved to a snowy area).  He is curled up next to me now as I type.  D.C. Rescues need to learn to apply better filters.

In good news, I am glad they turned us down because I love this dog!
