[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is a home check burdensome?[/quote]
One home check is not and last time I adopted a dog from the humane society they were only interested in making sure I had a fence and pulled up the house on google maps to see the fence from the satellite image. A few years ago I tried adopting a small shih tzu from a private rescue and was happy to pay the $400 fee to adopt a middle age shih tzu to further support the organization. They also had a long application and wanted 3 personal letters of recommendation plus one from a vet which I was happy to provide. What stopped me was they wanted to do multiple and possibly surprise home checks after the adoption and had the right to remove the dog at any point. They had requirements about feeding the dog only a certain brand of food and using a crate which if it wasn’t seen during the inspection they would take the dog (I don’t like or use crates for my pets) It felt like I would be more like a foster who was responsible for vet bills than an owner so I didn’t move forward.

[b]I’ve read a lot of stories like this and I can’t understand why some people defend this. It’s a dog.[/b] [/quote]

np While I don't agree with everything the rescue is doing ( food choice for example and multiple visits) I don't understand how feel that dogs deserve less than because they "are just dogs"  [/quote]
