I applied to several rescues for a dog, but was rejected every time. I tried over the course of a couple of years. but because I don't work the same hours every day they weren't interested. That is despite the dog wasn't going to be on its own.
In the meantime I was researching my dream breed and getting information from breeders. I put myself on a waiting list for a puppy.
I would quite happily have had a rescue but I didn't have a choice in the end. I love my puppy and he was well worth the money. I've enjoyed raising him, socialising, training etc. It was hard at times, with the house training ?, but so lovely.
I know rescues have to make sure the homes are right, but I do think they are too restrictive sometimes. They are losing good homes as a result of a tick box checklist.
