I'm sorry that is a real bummer, but trust me, there is definitely a puppy out there waiting for you.

That is really dumb that they don't consider you for limited vaccinations. Do you do titers? If so, they have NO reason to reject you for that. The rescue we got Fozzie from knew I do titers & feed Gonzo raw, and they wanted us to adopt him for that! Of course, you would be doing puppy shots, correct?
