[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rescue organizations need to rethink they’re processes for adopting out animals.  We tired once to adopt a dog and we’re turned down because we don’t have a fence yard.

If I can buy an AR15, a car, or a house quicker than I can adopt a pet, something needs to change.

We got our awesome dog from Craigslist.  Screw crazy rescue places.[/quote]
+1 NP here and ditto. I lived in a large english basement adjacent to a dog park and got told by one place I needed a fenced yard, another told me I work too many hours to have a dog. One of them I was emailing about coming to see the dog I had inquired about and then they informed me they had adopted it out to an 18 year-old about to leave for college in the fall. I was so over it by that point that I went to a backyard breeder and have never looked back.

And anyone who thinks rescuing is so noble and selfless needs to read up on the shadow industry where rescue organizations are using donated money to buy dogs from dog auctions or "breeders" usually from other parts of the country (and paying companies $$ to transport the dogs) when they still have shelter dogs from their own area that are without homes.
