    Why are people sounding angry at me?

    Im not rushing out to buy a dog and if I did get a dog for my mum she would be 100% involved.

    I only mentioned I MAY be getting a dog I never said I was going to rush out and buy one, Im doing my research maybe the animal shelters are different where you are.

    I worked with a man about a year ago who worked in a popular shelter around here and he said that its very rarely a dog is given out to a new home because the staff want drama, He was saying they were afraid they would run out of dogs etc.

    He also told me that the staff refused to rehome a older springer to a lady who might I add had plenty of year experience just because she had her girlfriend with her. Dont take this as a stupid rumour he was very high up in the shelter and thats exact reason was why he left it all got too much for him.

    I DO want to help the homeless dogs but with people like that what am I meant to do? they dont deserve that job so please dont judge me unless you hear me out before Im sick to death of people assuming they know every situation


    Sorry, Im just fed up of people thinking im trying to be awkward. Thanks for the link I'll look into it

    ^ I haven't heard that they want drama, but I do know that problems over there are different than ours in the US.
    I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

    Muddypaws (sorry, I don't know your real name..), I don't think anyone was trying to offend you or anything. A lot of people here are just pro rescue and will try to push people towards adoption instead of buying from a breeder. They don't mean anything by it (as far as I can tell).

    I'm going to Pm you.

    Thanks IRESCUE452 - I think they are USA sites, You have helped me alot with other things though, so thanks again for that.

    I just get so angry at people preaching about getting a dog from a shelter, YES I know there is a huge problem with dogs needing homes but if they are not willing to help out what else can I do?! Im going to stop posting all together soon and come back when things get back to normal. This place is changing so much you used to be able to post here and get responses that didnt include trying to make you feel bad.

    If I want to get a puppy who is anyone else to say I shouldn't? It should be up to me where and when I get it without having ME look bad. Yes animals get killed everyday and Yes its very upsetting but I know that and I dont need it rubbed in my face.

    Thank you everyone who have posted what I've asked for you have been a big help
