If a rescue doesn't want me to adopt the dog that's fine, but please tell me so I can move on. Waiting to see if you're the right one is almost like waiting for a baby!Winterdognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362301983183604045.post-47476734410720094032011-08-05T13:54:27.497-04:002011-08-05T13:54:27.497-04:00Aubrey - Don't let anyone tell you can't ...Aubrey - Don't let anyone tell you can't do something! Just keep asking and just keep trying to help. If a rescue or shelter won't let you volunteer with the dogs you can still dog things like raise money or collect donations for the shelters / rescues in your area.<br /><br />Also, dog rescue is a hobby not a job so make sure you go to college, get a good job that will help support your hobby. It took me until I was 28 years old to have a dog rescue... I first went to college worked my butt off and started developing my career. Once that was off the ground and I was making enough money I started my own dog rescue. Best decision I ever made.<br /><br />good luck to you!Dog Rescuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825035993244876264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362301983183604045.post-42270391628508931492011-08-05T13:49:23.957-04:002011-08-05T13:49:23.957-04:00Im 12 and am thinking about having a dog rescue wh...Im 12 and am thinking about having a dog rescue when Im older. I really love dogs (esp pit bulls) and I feel like as a child how no one excepts me or lets me volunteer, that Im not doing enough. Now I want to show the world that if I set my mind to it, I am NOT going to give up! Thanks for posting this.

I only said I had not heard from her (phone or email) and that I will look to other adoption agencies if this adoption is not a go. I had already met the dog, met her foster mom, put a deposit down and now the poor dog will not get adopted because she thought I was "snippy" too bad didnt' read the emailchemchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780152878765203241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362301983183604045.post-77876832247186829882011-08-03T23:44:31.739-04:002011-08-03T23:44:31.739-04:00I denied someone today and she wasn't thrilled...I denied someone today and she wasn't thrilled. I'm sure people think they're doing the dogs a favor (which they often are) but it has to be a match. I can't give a dog with some behavioral issues in need of work to a person who is inexperienced and who will be moving out of State in a few months. I liked her and hated to disappoint her, but the dog's welfare trumps everything else.English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.com
