I have volunteered with this rescue for many many years. They are amazing. They do so much for these dogs and for the community. It makes me sad to see a poor review because someone was declined a dog. Every dog is different and will not fit into every situation. Once you've had an animal in your home, helped them recover from some sort human caused suffering and lived with them like they were your own while you search for their family, you do become invested and want to find only the best home that is best not only for the dog but also for the humans that will be their family. I have never known this rescue to say no to a a good home as long as it was also a good fit for that particular dog. They really take their time to set everyone up for success and support them through that dog's existence. Love these guys! They really do amazing work for a breed that needs a little extra love, care and understanding.
Beyond disappointing! I was declined adoption because I have an Invisible Fence Brand fence. I live in a rural area surrounded by woods. I have had a Boxer, Pit mix and another mix all contained by invisible fence with absolutely zero issues. With all the dogs out there that need homes I find this ridiculous and a gross misunderstanding on how the Invisible Fence works. I will no longer donate to this organization either. Big loss for the dogs they are adopting out!
Any animal deserves a second chance, especially those who have been mistreated and are still, unfortunately, misunderstood. This organization does a great job vetting its volunteers and adopters. The volunteers who work as fosters for pit bulls awaiting adoption truly do a great job rehabilitating, reintegrating, and training these dogs to be the best family dog any family could ask for. The foster families insure any dog being adopted to a permanent home is entering a home that will provide correct and lasting care, and continued training. Get in contact with this organization and they will be able to work with you personally to find the perfect match for a new dog for your family. I like to tell people, "Always adopt a rescue dog. There are too many and they need you. With a foster dog, the foster family has been able implement training necessary for a dog being adopted out of a shelter. We've already gotten past the shoe chewing phase and now we have a great dog who's already learned wanted behavior. A dog that is ready for a permanent home and family."
