I know, we also applied at 3 different rescues after Tarzan went to the Rainbow Bridge, but from 2 we never even heard back, and the third flat-out refused, because we rent and don't have a back yard.
The thing is, I would kill for my pets, and would do absolutely anything in my power to make sure they are allright, but thats not the point, the rescues dont know me as a person, they see a statistics, of people who dump their pets after moving or having a baby, or a dog nipping on the child etc etc..
I see the point.
That's why a personal interview with the potential adoptee and the family would really benefit rescues and shelters adopting out pets. How many good families have been turned down, then the they scream they have no more room for incoming pets
