My Nonprofit Reviews

I was supportive of this group and followed them on facebook. They posted about a boxer needing a home. It was not one of their boxers but one that they were trying to help rehome for someone that contacted them. I noted in their posting that they stated that they NEVER will put a female boxer in a home with another. I found this very interesting because I have 3 female boxers. I got all 3 (Brindle, Fawn, and White) of my female boxers at different times, and at different ages, and from different places including one from the SPCA. I didn't do anything special in introducing them other than what anyone would maybe do and I've had them all together in my house with cats for at least 3 years (the youngest being 3 years old and the oldest is 8) and never had a problem. So I was curious and posted on their facebook post why they had this policy because I have 3 female boxers and have never had a problem. I was met with a VERY rude response that I was just lucky and I should go look it up on Google. No information, no explanation, no friendly response, just nasty, snarky, rudeness and this was the first time I had ever asked a question or posted on their site. Needless to say I was a bit taken aback. I had another member responded as well that Boxer Transfer Network knows best - Don't think this person was trying to be rude but she is probably unfortunately someone who just thinks that BTN is God-like and knows all which simply isn't true. So I summarized my point very nicely, I was not rude, that maybe they should at some point in time consider making this a case by case basis because if my 3 boxers had been placed under their policy, it would have required them to find 3 homes. Instead they have a great home with me together and they don't fight. Not all dogs fight. So despite my nice response on facebook, BTN came back with an even nastier response to me. I have to wonder why all of their responses to me including their initial one were so rude and nasty. They seem to think they are better than everyone else and look down on others. For a bunch of people who beg for money and fosters all the time, they should be more careful about running people off and they should care about the animals and potential adopters instead of passing on homes because there is a female dog already. RIDICULOUS POLICY!!!!! They just got mad because I proved them wrong in front of their supporters which is why they shut me down. This policy of BTN keeps needy pets from good homes. I see BTN reaching out for fosters or begging for money or begging for adopters but they have this policy where they refuse to consider putting 2 female boxers together because they may have had a female boxer or two that didn't get along???? Seriously???? I have to question why. No way in hell would I deal with these people! If you really want a boxer, there are plenty of good boxers needing homes in the SPCAs or good rescues that will not treat you the way that BTN obviously does. I have never gotten a boxer from BTN nor have I ever applied, this incident was my only interaction with them and based on the way I was treated for asking a simple question, it is a very good indicator of how I would be treated in the future and also makes me SERIOUSLY question the treatment of any animal in their care. Just my opinion.
