[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly you are putting way too much mental energy into this. Stop following it on facebook and getting updates. Just post stuff for free when you want to let it go and be glad it's not going in a landfill.

I have had the bad interactions with humane societies and will never use one again. I will be going straight to a breeder instead. I have kids and was told that they wouldn't consider someone who had a kid under 5. Another told me I'd need a fenced in yard. Another told me that they wanted a remote worker or a SAHM (I wfh 3 days a week, but that wasn't enough). My beloved dog who just passed away last year was given to me for free. At the time (graduated college and paychecks hadn't started yet) I wouldn't have been able to afford the high humane society fees. I think a group matching dogs with owners who want them for free is not a bad idea. [/quote]

Yep.  The first FOUR I contacted told me they wouldn’t give me a dog while I had a child under ten in the house.  Many also insisted on a fence (that’s only $15k, no biggie) or a SAHP (sure, I will ditch my career for a dog.  That’s healthy).  WTF?!?  [/quote]

OP again. Again, they are not ALL like this. Try a rescue group/smaller humane society. Don't discount them all because of that experience. I agree that is over the top. My mom is a great dog owner and she was turned down once because she doesn't have a fence. The thing they don't realize is she lives on like 20 acres where they get to go on long walks and her dogs are treated better than most people.[/quote]

OP, you are entirely missing the point and most are like that.  [/quote]
