Sadly some rescues get hopped up on some ego trip and don't look far enough into the situations. They become blind to the reality of the world. They don't budge for anything. They don't realize how much harm they do by being overprotective. They forget that sometimes they have to let go.

On the opposite end of that... perhaps that particular dog really really really needed a fully fenced in yard. Some personalities are like that. Those people may have seemed like the best choice at the time.

I've been on both sides of the fence. I was denied an adoption because i was younger than they thought i was in our conversations (yet I met their age requirement according to their rules.) And I'm also involved in the rescue circuit. I've seen the ups and downs in both.
