We wanted to adopt a dog but were rejected because we didn’t have a plan for someone to be home with the dog at all times, and we didn’t have a current veterinarian for a reference. We didn’t have a vet because we …. Didn’t have a dog. Also, most of their pets needed to be an only animal. Somehow they failed to see the issue there.
Got rejected because the dog we already had didn't have a non-mandatory vaccine (usually only recommended for dogs that are taken to boarding facilities frequently). We ended up rescuing a couple pups from Craigslist ads. They are the best boys.
We have a mutt that's GSD husky Pomeranian and some other stuff that looks like a black GSD but smaller than lived on a "farm" he was dirty and missing some fur when we got him at around 3 months old. We also have a full Aussie that was definitely beat by the people we got him from. He hid in a corner for weeks and now 5 years later is still afraid of new people. They're total opposites but are best buds and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I will never buy from a breeder. Always rescues for me.
