Subject:  [Dailydrool] Adopting

First of all just like anything else there is good and bad  rescues. Thank 
doG most of them are ethical and honest organizations.   I am a bit confused.  
Was your puppy ever in a foster home?  If not  then it was an owner assisted 
adoption.  Sometimes when rescues don't have  enough foster homes or other 
resources  they will allow an owner of a  dog to list their dog on their site. It 
stays with the owner and the rescue  directs interested parties to him/her. 
Then the responsibility lies with  the owner to reveal an accurate description of 
his dog. The  rescue may or may not have you sign a contract depending on if 
they want to  take responsibility of the dog incase it doesn't work out with 
you.  There  is usually no fee or a minimal one at best. 
 At the rescue I am affiliated with (ABC) our fosters are fully  evaluated, 
vet checked, spayed/neutered and all crucial medical issues are dealt  with.  
Then we do a thorough home check with the adopters to make  sure we place a dog 
who will fit in with the family and the  environment. All adopters will know 
the good, the bad and the ugly of  the dog they want to adopt. If we don't 
think a dog and adopter  are a good match then there will be no adoption. It is 
our goal to make  sure our dogs never have to end up in rescue again.  There is 
a  fee to adopt a dog to help cover the costs of care given to it.
 So without knowing the details it is hard to say what happened  with your 
adoption.  Unfortunately there are people out there who take  advantage of us 
dog lovers.  Around where I live we have a so  called all breed rescue who 
advertises to take your unwanted dog, does  nothing but house the it in a kennel on 
their premises and turns around and  "adopts" them out with a hefty fee. No 
home check required.  Good luck  with your little guy. I hope you keep us 
informed of what the doctor says.
