You need to know how to pick, some people loved their animals some dont, period.

uhhhh. I don't even know what to say to most of that.

Where did you get your 50% statistic? And, do you know the early, early signs of Parvo? Or the signs of a puppy that is destined to suffer from genetic health issues? There aren't any, to speak of. You are taking a complete crapshoot, and if that's your thing, I can't stop you.

Yupp well.. umm bye i am leaving this thread. Is pointless you have your opinion i have mine.

NOT everybody deserves a dog. How do we know the adopter has enough time for a dog? How do we know they are financially able to care for the dog? How do we know they are physically capable of caring for that dog? How do we know they aren't acting on impulse?? Screening and homechecks are put in place to ensure that every dog we adopt out is placed into a FOREVER home. Have you ever had a bounce back? Do you understand how heart-wrenching and how unfair it is for the dog to adopt it out and have it returned several months later because the family "doesn't have enough time"??

FYI, I was rejected the first time I tried to adopt a greyhound. I did a little research and I found out that this particular rescue was very bigoted. I tried another rescue (thank goodness) and ended up with Giselle. I wanted a dog, not instant gratification. I reassessed my own situation, considered why I was rejected, spoke with other greyhound owners, and decided that I should try again. Rejections happen. Some are legitimate. Some are not. Your responsibility as a dog owner is to reassess yourself, your lifestyle, and whether or not you really are capable of caring for a dog in your current situation. A dog is a living being. If this all seems a bit much, well, it has to be when you're dealing with adopting out living, breathing, feeling creatures.
