a while ago in a bash people who rescue thread someone had a go at me because my dogs were pretty
Interesting insult

Weridos ..lol

No---you do what you like----I will do what I like and guess what? Many Tears will do what they like----and long may they go on doing it.

After my experience with them ,if i rescue again many tears will be my first choice...

By having such strict blanket policies they aren't doing "their best" though, that's my point. They're doing a great job, obviously, but by being less discriminatory they could help so many more dogs. Just because they do a good job doesn't mean they shouldn't try to do better.

Getting to know someone doesn't take forever, the vast majority of time instinct will tell you if someone is genuine, along with vet checks etc. I wouldn't add up to a great amount of time, but putting in the effort could benefit the dogs ten fold. After all how much does a home check really tell you, there's so much more to owning a dog than what house they live in.

Oh and it's not their neuter policy I have issues with, more their discrminatory attitude towards those of us who don't wish to lop off our dogs reproductive organs just to prove we're responsible.

Regardless, it's a true story.

I'm not going to go into the whole of your post because the main issue I have is their prejudiced attitude which prevents dog owners who don't neuter their current animals from rehoming one of their animals. The examples I gave were just in response to rune's post and although I do think they are ridiculous, I can understand the reason behind them. Basing rehoming policies on their own personal prejudice it wrong however. Plain and simple.
EXACTLY! It's simply about prejudice on their part, nothing to do with the welfare of the dog being rehomed.

And I'm not surprised that your prejudiced has lead you to be incorrect.

If rescues turn people away time and time again it's inevitable people will become down hearted and find better ways to get a dog, more fool the rescues that's all I can say. Like I've said numerous times, it's the dogs sat in the pounds waiting to be PTS that will miss out.

I think the point there was (if I'm thinking of the same thread) you were bashing show people for breeding dogs who were clone like, yet you have rescued two dogs in essence because they look the same.

Now that is pretty ironic you have to admit!

LOL---you sound like the harsh trainers who say that unless their methods are used hundreds of dogs will be pts----just as daft!

rune

The less restrictive they are with rehoming policies the more dogs will be rehomed and the less there will be waiting for homes and at risk of being PTS. Quite simple really.

actually no it had nothing to do with that
it was saying that by taking the 'pretty' dogs that are more rehomable then an ugly dog would be pts
You just stalking threads to see if there might be a chance that I might bash show people?
fyi it was someone else who pointed out that Mia looked a little like Ben when her foto came up as the dog in the pound, I simply didnt see any similarity till it was pointed out
I didnt see her as pretty or anything, I only saw her expressive scared eyes and for some reason out of the many I had (and continue to) see she was the one I couldnt get out of my head

although you seem to have deliberatly set this up to attempt to get me to comment on show dogs this thread has nothing to do with that so I am sorry but your troll fun for the evening wll just have to go unsatisfied

Sorry but those comments are borderline paranoia! Every time someone mentions showing on a thread you're commenting on you immediately assume they're having a go at you! I genuinely couldn't give two hoots what you think about showing! I just thought I could remember the thread, it's that simple.

Blimey, I think you just need to chill out a bit luv!
