And I know that every org is different. My hubby & I were turned down by a greyhound rescue 8 yrs ago because we had no past history with dogs (young, first married, one of us a student). We ended up adopting a dog from the county pound and a couple years after that a stray that wandered into our yard (yes, we really tried to find her owners: signs, called the local vets, newspaper, ect.) Our dogs have had routine vet care & grooming. They have a dog door to come/go and a half acre, fenced yard with plenty of squirrels to chase. Dog food specially blended, made, & delivered for them. They have been to obedience school and on many, many vacations with us. I am sure that we would have no problem adopting a greyhound now that our history has been established. But I would never get a greyhound because of the way we were treated in the process. I am sure that rescues see some real "piece of work" people asking for dogs but keep our story in mind too when looking at an application that doesn't quite meet every qualification.
