Turned Down for Adoption
Edit By:How To Pet
Q:This was on another forum.
Shelter turned us down (Very long) Your Message We've been dog hunting at the local shelter (s) and we found the right one, she was the best dog. We visited daily for 2 weeks, we spent time with her, we walked her and played with her. She had been there since February. We had seen her on numerous visits but never paid mind to her, because of her breed, Pitbull. I noticed that she was the only dog that sat and didn't bark when ppl came in she just wiggled her bum and tail. Well we asked to see her and we fell in love. All of the workers knew us when we came daily to see her, we wanted to be sure she was right for our little family Me and the kids 17,14 and 6. I'm sorry this is so long, i'm still grieving about this. The day came
when I said she's the one. I filled out the application. And they turned us down because ds has
a cat allergy. I pleaded with them and even came back to speak with the supervisor. I was told how it was unfair to the animal to be taken into a home and then returned to the shelter a few weeks later, blah,blah,blah. However they suggested that I should get one from a pet store.
I couldn't believe my ears, I asked them to explain how that was humane, buy a puppy mill dog, rather than save a 2yr old p.b. that has been overlooked for months.
Our search continues, looking for a young dog, not a puppy, but if the right one comes along, who knows what we'll end up with.
Thanks for reading this.

A:How nice that the THS is trying to drum up business for puppy mills by telling someone to get a dog from a PET STORE!!
I'm wondering if this woman's husband is allergic to dogs or if they are sure he's not.
I have to honestly say that most of the calls we get from people wanting to dump animals say they are allergic, even if they've had the pet for 10 years!!
Can you give me the link to this woman's post, or some way I can contact her? I know of a sweet, beautiful and gorgeous pit bull girlie looking for a home. She is a wonderful dog and perfect for a first time owner of this breed!
Here is the lovely Dottie, an affectionate wigglebutt who has great manners!

A:What a load of bull! To not let someone adopt a DOG because of a CAT allergy! Well, now I am ticked off.
A:That is a load of crap.There are so many people on this site, is there not something we could do,when these genius's at spca's come up with these
idiotic reasons?
This isn't the 1st time i've heard these un-informed twits sending people to puppy mills (ie pet stores)
Now i'm mad.
