re: Dog adoption prices are OOC

We had a much better experience. Went with my daughter to look at rescue dogs. We went on one of the days they bring the dogs and cats to Pet Smart. She found a dog that had been one of like 20 dogs rescued from a trailer.

The lady was telling my wife and daughter that the dog was not good with men when I walked up and he was great with me right away. The person that worked for the shelter was asking about a fenced in yard, which we don't have - we live in a mostly fenceless neighborhood where everyone gets along.

Luckily, the lady who was fostering the dog was there and spoke up saying this particular dog didn't care for the outside much.

The dog was a great match with my daughter. She takes him outside for plenty of walks and he is a great dog for her.

I'm guessing the different "rescues" vary widely in how reasonable they are and how stringent their requirements are. I can see them wanting to know basic info to make sure they dog will be in a decent situation, but I'm sure some of them can go overboard sometimes.
