I have heard that from many people who have young children who want to adopt a dog from a shelter (and those who don't have fenced in yards). They end up going to BYB's or kijiji because it is easier for them.
I really think shelters/rescues are shooting themselves in the foot because of their regulations. I wish they would review adoption applications on an individual basis.
Would your vet contact the shelter to serve as a reference for you?
