[Dailydrool] Adopting</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
