I have a question that Im sure is going to open up a big ol' can of worms. If a family has to fill out a application and is screened and is looking for that family pet. Why then is that dog "tagged" as rescue when really it was about to be adopted?
Not being mean.. just truely curious. Recently a dog I applied for was "tagged" as rescue but yet when I had spoke with the people at the shelter prior to that, they had a list of people waiting to adopt the dog. Isnt "rescue" for the dogs that need rescued and that are about to be put down. The ones that have issues and for whatever reason are not adoptable?
At the shelter my friend managed they didnt "list" them for a week or so, so that local legit. families had a opportunity to adopt first. And on many occassions they had waiting lists for specific breeds.
I just worry that adoptable dogs are being snatched up by rescues but yet there is no room or money for ones that truely need rescued. Like that one listed that kills every thursday. even the facility looked horrible and all the dogs were terrified.. someone needs to go in and take that over and make it a no-kill. Now that would be RESCUE! :-)
So there you have it.. my question of the week! :-)
