that the marotiy of the people who run the rescure organizations are anti-social people with some serious personality disorders. They WANT to turn you down. They also do not want help from anyone in any way (other than cash donations)
They prefer to wherehouse hundreds of dogs instead of answering emails and phone calls from people wanting to adopt.
When you walk into their rescue to fill out the application they will often treat you with total disrespect in order to try to get you to to walk out.
This is not ALL animial rescue organizations but it seems to be the majority.
My opinion has been developed in the 5 years I have been involved in animal rescue both working at the front counter and in the administration side.
So the dogs are the ones who suffer. So many dogs could be saved but the anti-social rescue people turn thousands of good people away every year. I have seen them even "get off on it. They laugh as the people walk out the door.
Do not let this discourage you. Just play their game. Do not let them offend you when you meet them. Do not give up just because you called and emailed them numerous times with offers to help only to be ignored.
I am 5 weeks out from my attempts at getting a foster dog to share my big gated yard instead of sitting in a kennel. Not even one person has come out here to do a house check yet.
I realize that I can just go to the city pound but I cannot adopt another dog at this time, I just want to foster a dog so the rescue organization can have extra space for their dogs. I will also work every day to hopd find a home for my foster dog.
Also, when you are a single person who is trying to adopt out a dog it is much much much more difficult to find a home than if you are connected with an animal rescue. I guess pyschology plays a huge role as people feel more comfortable dong biz with a non-profit.
Hope this helps anyone looking to adopt. It can be a very very frustratinog process but it is worth it becuse these animals do not deserve to be just tossed aside like garbage.
