[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every now and then there is someone on here complaining about people returning dogs. Does it really matter if a small percentage of dogs are returned?

What's the alternative for the dogs if people don't at least try with a rescue dog, lethal injection? [/quote]

NP.  About 50% of rescues are returned.  So I suppose "small percentage" is arguable.  [/quote]
I work with several rescues and that number isnt anywhere close to the return rate. I am curious where you got that?[/quote]
That does seem high. I would assume that it includes or is specific to open admission shelters which don't typically screen adopters or have much background information on the animals. If a rescue ( here referring to a private organization not a state or county shelter) has a return rate anywhere close to that, their adoption policies need some serious reexamination.[/quote]

Open admission shelters do not have a 50 percent rate of return! I think OP made this stat up - or thinks she read it somewhere.[/quote]
