[Dailydrool] why

[Karen]

Bob and Mommy,

That is a good question and one I think only that particular rescue can answer.  
I can give you some possible answers but only that rescue knows the real reason.
So I would ask them.  I know that there are some shelters (especially high kill) that do not adopt 
out their animals.  Some shelters will only release to a rescue because of reason 1.  I 
have to agree with you on rescues always being full and overtaxed with an added limited 
funding.  As far as an easier to place basset, I am not sure there is such a thing in this 
economy.

I know that GGBR tries to take in the basset most in need first.  So sometimes a basset can
be in the shelter for a while in the hope they are adopted.  I do know they are on the call
list if time is running out, if  the basset is physically and/or mentally deteriorating or it is just
a dire emergency.  Yes it does take at least a couple of days to find a foster home and
arrange the hound train. There are also times that because of transport issues that the 
hound will spend a few days as a short term foster.

I do believe the ultimate goal is a Furever Home but sometimes the foster home  can
be the Furever Home because of age and/or health conditions and even foster failure.

I hope you or your friend does ask for the reasons behind the decision.  

Droolz,
