Often times at the shelter near my parents, the dogs and cats are sent out to rescues before anyone has a chance to adopt, especially if they're a desirable type or young (<2) |

Oh yeah at our shelter it costs at least $150 to adopt a cat. Dogs are like $300 |
God is Mighty Stable |
I also know that shelters in my area don't allow dogs to go to working homes, like LGD, Herding, & Hunting |
The Old Gods |
On top of things, the rescue was wanting $2-300 for their small breed terriers. Mom just gave up and got a chi/doxi mix off craig's list lmfao |

What Void said. Plus my thoughts. There are also some amazing breeders, who have great, well cared for, well bred dogs |
MakeEm Fancy |
Thank you! He was on the at risk list of being euthanized. Im so glad we adopted him @Hazard |
The Old Gods |
Mom tried to adopt about 10 years ago. Rescue wanted vet info (ok, fine), financial info, number of animals, ability to just show up unannounced for inspections, and ultimately declined mom for having too many animals. Duh. Hobby farm. |

Paddy would probably slit my throat if someone promised him a bit of cheese but that's ok |

Norm's only little but he makes a good guard dog. A bit too good most of the time lol, I'm trying to get him to chill out a bit |
Jericho Stables |
I've also been looking at GSD breeders and some of them have requirements in line with rescues. It's just been a very frustrating process. |

It's typically cheaper and less hassle to just buy an animal than going through a rescue |
Fairy Valley Stables |
Jericho Absolutely and I used to work at a shelter (I'm in New Zealand). So many of the requirements are absurd and beyond what the average person who could offer an amazing home could reach |
MakeEm Fancy |
This is my shepherd mix. He is very very loyal but is 100% an escape artist lol -Click- |
The Feral Equine |
I agree Jericho! I worked for a humane society for a while and I was unable to adopt cause I had an intact female dog because I chose to do a delayed spay |

Ally, I know right?! They'll kind of be my guard dogs when I live alone and when i'm outside and alone (Im a female so I planning on getting 2 female Dobermans and 2 males. |
