unless they are lucky enough to be in foster or in a home environment while waiting to be adopted...
I have to say I totally agree with this. A friend of mine is in husky rescue and I can't tell you how many great people have been turned away for this very same reason. I think you can be a good dog owner without a fence.

And in answer to the poll...yes I have a fence. It's a 4 ft chain link fence with electric fencing at the top and bottom. And my gate, it's always locked so no one could open the gate and let them out.
