I see what blazingsaddles is saying, if you are familiar with a certain type of dog/breed then the rescue may favour you if you have 32 acres and no fence and place faith that the dog will not escape, but if you are not used to the breed and you take home a lurcher that may well love nothing more than to go on a hunting spree by ones self, "and yes we have had plenty of lurchers handed in for this reason" I have one myself, now trained, but if she was running loose in the hands of the lady who had her (one stage she was, and ran off with a j.r.t in her mouth)
, then there would not have been many dogs left alive or furries
(this is why she will remain with me)
I can slso confirm, terrier are also little shiesters for escaping and can jump a stupid height, so yes certainly not just lurchers, but some lurchers really do lack brain power and are certainly more likely to be hit by a car or stolen from a local scroat (which is always my MAIN worry, when I think of a certain type of dog escaping.
The reason we ask for a secure fenced garden is because if a dog will escape it will be in the first few weeks when they are unsettled and anxious of a new environmet, so to secure them until their confidence has come and they have bonded with an owner, then is it to much for us "who have cared for this dog for X amount of time, and obs have concern for it's well being" to ask for a secure garden, I for one dont lord over working times and proof of morgage payments, I dont give a monkeys what age the kids are, as long as the kid is not a badly behaved brat and the parent is responsible and has control of the kid during the home visit, and im confident said dog has a sound temperament, or ask what age a person is but I do ask for a secure garden, I cannot see the issues with fencing a small part of land off, all 3 million acres do not have to be fenced. (not aimed at anyone there)
There is alot of rescue bashing and yes I agree with you, when I see the conditions you state, they are ridiculous, but for some conditions there are reasons for this, and as I have stated before I ain't giving no dog to no moron to stop them buying one, I have cared for and spent alot of time with said dog to give it to anyone, I do have condtions, im sure you would if you where leaving your own dog in someone elses care, even for a short while.
I have rehomed a dog to Gazey and starbucks from here, if that does not tell you im strict with rehoming...well
