I understand your frustration totally, Clara! Some well meaning people believe that the most important thing re: rescue is to get the dog into a home; any home. As I have learned after years of working with my resuce group, North East All Retriever Rescue, www.nearr.com the MOST important thing is to place the dog in the most appropriate home to assure that dog does not become a repeat "surrender!" We take great care and sometimes a lengthy period of time, to fully screen our applicants, evalute our dogs thoroughly re: temperament in ALL areas, possbile behavioral issues, special physical and emotional needs, etc. and then, match them up with a family whose circumstances, experience and lifestyles are most suited for that dog. Not always easy, I admit. Fortunately, we are lucky to have many very dedicated, experienced and savvy fosters. Unfortunatley, this thorough process means we can't always accomodate all of the intakes we would like
