Problems trying for a Rescue

This dog looks a little like Tiki too, no?

Just about everyone here is extremely pro-adoption in general. Many here work for rescues/shelters and many have adopted from rescues/shelters. No matter which side of the front desk you're talking about, somebody here has done it. If something seems odd to us, it's going to seem odd to a rescue or shelter too. Requesting additional photos is one thing, and saying you prefer the look of "a tan dog with a black muzzle like a Shepherd" (or something similar) is still not out of the norm, but seeking a dog with a look specific enough that you supply your own photos probably strikes them as being a wee bit.... ummm.... obsessive? We're not just being harsh here. That type of behavior is honestly just a little off the beaten path.

Bottom line, it's ultimately up to them to adopt or not. The ball is almost always in their court, so to speak. If they don't want to adopt to you or answer questions then there's not really much you can do about it. I'd just agree to disagree with their behavior and keep looking elsewhere.

Since we're on the subject, this little one looks a bit like Tiki too. :
