[quote=Anonymous][quote]Seriously. Your only options are a breeder or whatever dog they decide to give you at the shelter? Get a grip, OP. Before rescues became so profitable, all "rescues" came from shelters. The fact that you will consider a rescue from a name-brand rescue but haven't even considered a shelter to the point of knowing how it works to adopt from a shelter tells me you were always going to end up at a breeder.[/quote]

Can you tell me where in my 2 previous posts that I said I wouldn't consider a shelter?  No, because in fact I've visited the shelter on Oglethorpe probably 15 times in the past year and the PG shelter a handful of times, so that I could interact with dogs that piqued my interest on the internet.  It hasn't worked out so far.

As I said, reflecting on the possible barriers, I do think one issue is that I have a handful of non-negotiable requirements for dogs these do serve to filter out a significant percentage of dogs that are present in DC/MD shelters.  And no, they're not vanity criteria, but things having to do with size, age, exercise needs, etc.  Propensity to howl, incompatibility with cats, things like that.  [/quote]
