[quote=Anonymous][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]

Expand your search. There are a dozen +  shelters in the DMV area all bursting at the seams with dogs.

You came on here to complain in an immature manner and you’ve gotten plenty of advice. I still think the problem is you. Sorry. Try harder, or do go to a breeder if you so choose. But if you think GOOD breeders don’t filter for good families either, you’re wrong. I’m sure there are plenty of puppy mills waiting for your business, though. [/quote]
