I tried two different times to adopt a couple of poodles Grand Rivers up for adoption. I entered my age on the application which is 64 and where I lived. I called Grand Rivers to inquire about the one poodle and was told my application had been denied. This very rude nasty lady talked to me like I was an old decrypted lady. She told me that the “facility “ that I lived in would have to tell her that they thought it would be good for me to have a dog. Really!! I am only 64 years old and have one dog. She also told me that the dog would not be a lap dog and would have to be exercised and she jumped to the conclusion that I had mobility issues, which I don’t. I’m able to get my little dog out for walks. Without ever meeting me she just judged me to be an old lady because I was over sixty. They don’t want to give their dogs to seniors which is really sad because we offer very living homes for the animals.
