Re: | All Dog Breeds Adult Dog Wanted | Ad: | It's a fine fine line that rescues walk and I rlleay respect the way *most* rescues handle it. The screening process works not only to protect the dog, but to ensure the owner will be happy with the pup they bring home. But it is a fine line we were rejected by THREE local rescues because we both work and Felix was not UTD on one vaccination. The catch? He is allergic to it, so we maintain titer tests on it and give it only if the vet feels it is absolutely necessary. And we work opposite shifts, so about 80% of the time either me or my other half is home AND my MIL who lives with us is home most of the time as well. I think our dogs spend less than two hours alone each week usually in 10 15 minute chunks. Some weeks, they aren't alone at all, but the rescues had a no working policy and that was that. I personally think that an approach that if it's good folks and the dog is a good fit for their lifestyle, that any other issues (ie. working schedule, yard, training etc.) could be addressed. The pup we wanted to adopt is STILL with the rescue two years later, as no one else has been willing to take on her separation anxiety issues. Poor little thing.` |
