Been to many shelters when dating a chick who was all into visiting and getting dogs from shelters and for our "adoptions" neverr got checks on us. None. Got two dogs from two different "rescue" shelters. They wouldn't allow us to take any of the dogs for a walk to see how they act outside of the shelter. Inside the shelter, the dogs act scared or angry. Take them for a walk and see how they react to other people or other people's pets and that's a big "no". Mental illness is strong in shelter dogs. They have been abandoned, possibly beaten and abused for years, and as for one girl's dog I knew, it was found in a drain pipe and was abused heavily by someone who had short hair. I knew this for sure because I had longer hair at the time and when I approached it with my hair down, it liked me. When my hair was pulled back, it focking growled at me and went after me with a vengeance. Go figure. Shelter dog. There are so many flaws in these shelters you can't even believe Put the dogs out of their misery and stop making them priority over fixing our human crisis on this earth.

Sounds like you went to some pretty shitty shelters. We adopted 2 Jack Russell mixes. I had two phone interviews, an in person interview and had to show proof that I owned my home and didn't rent, that the yard was fenced, that the dogs wouldn't be left alone all day... I say put the humans out of their misery and leave the doggos alone. People suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The risk is to high they may be abused so lets just euthanize them. I will donate to the no kill shelters but Humane Society will get nothing from me.! I have a dog and two cats and got them off of people so they won't have to take them there as the last resort.

The appointments were made by the shelter ahead of time. If we missed any of the appointments the shelter could come and take them back.

I am guessing they’re more or less picky depending on the likelihood that the dog will get adopted and it’s circumstances. I had to fill out a lengthy questionnaire and give 2 personal references and a vet reference to adopt my pup and they called all three. They didn’t do a home visit or anything but my dog is a mutt who came from a kill shelter. If the dog is purebred from a no kill shelter they’d probably have done the visit etc. They did already set up his initial vet appointment and date to get clipped.

If the dog is purebred from a no kill shelter they’d probably have done the visit etc. They did already set up his initial vet appointment and date to get clipped. I have adopted 3 dogs. I definitely see a trend where they are being more cautious with placements. - One was 25 years ago and they did a little background check. Mainly just a questionnaire. - One was 12 years ago and they did a more thorough background check, but no home visit and no call to the vet. - One in October during COVID and they did an online questionnaire, voice interview, Zoom virtual home visit and they called my vet. With all of that said, no one should think that this is even remotely close to adopting a child as that is far more vigorous. Trust me as we have done that too.

Another clear example of Animals/dogs >>> Most humans Well it's the animal that's eating the face, and pits have the physical tools to eat faces more than most other dogs. I agree that it's the owners fault, but the dog still has a natural instinct to snap and has the ability to kill. It happens far too often. One of my kid's friends was attacked by the family pit bull when she was 3. Sweetest most lovable dog, until the attack. The kid was lucky to live, and has scars all over her face. I always avoid any kind of pit when I see them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were over 250 people that applied to adopt one of the two we got. He was the most popular of the litter. The foster said she wanted to do an in home visit but I think it was more to judge my willingness to do so. In the end she settled for pics of the yard. I think the fact that we were able to take him and one of his siblings played in our favor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
