[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have had better luck with breed-specific rescues, including during the pandemic. If you can narrow down a breed you're interested in, you could try that route. Advantages: The rescues are smaller operations than the all-breed rescues, and thus often have fewer applicants and process a lower volume of dogs. That means fewer dogs available, but also typically far fewer applicants for volunteers to keep track of. And the chances of getting a dog fresh off of transport from rural shelters who has not been fully evaluated for temperament are far less. Everyone involved in these rescues knows the specific health and temperament issues of the breed really well, so you are much more likely to have dogs evaluated by fosters who are very experienced with the breed. Most breed-specific rescues also have mixes of that breed, but the expertise is still relevant.[/quote]
