Sorry, JMHO. Animal rescue and adoption places, aka dog impound people seem to be wacko, overzealous people with no basic reality of life. We wanted a rescue dog. We were issued a 4 page form that wanted my life history, then they wanted to inspect my home. We wouldn't qualify for a rescue dog because we are on a ranch in very rural WY. The ranch is fenced with barbed wire for COWS. Not dog fencing that is required. :S. We ordered a dog on the internet, had him flown to our ranch and he just loves living here in the wide open spaces and herding cows. Seems to me a rescue dog would have been just as happy. These wacko dog rescue people are promoting puppy mills with their crazy unrealistic rules. Plus I stopped donating to them because they were wasting my donation money on these rules. Like I said. JMHO.
