If I may be so blunt, but I think all of us have been rejected by a breeder/adoption group at one point or another, LOL. I know I did, and I'm not ashamed. They rejected us simply because they didn't think a Greyhound was right for us, and they came to this conclusion from a mere 3 minute conversation.

I don't know whether or not your comment about the BYBs was just said out of frustration or sarcasm, but I'll have to echo Bckrazy here.

I really think you should look into the local pound. Those dogs are in the most urgent need and chances are you'll find it tantalizingly simple to adopt a dog from them. I wouldn't be surprised if you came back with a dog the day you went to visit them, LOL. Good Luck and we're sending tons of good wishes! It does hurt to get rejected, but remember, it's their loss!
