Here’s my story...
We lost our beloved pug to cancer three months ago. I just applied to adopt through a pug rescue group. I had what was essentially a phone interview, filled out an application, got two glowing references from two non-family members, a great reference from my vet, and then a home visit by the rescue group. I thought the rescue group visit went well. Apparently it did not. Though they said my animals appeared to be loved and well cared for, my house is too messy, I have a pool (which they knew about through the application) and a couple of less than pristine areas in my fence (areas observed to be too small for a pug to get through). The rescue group is going to set me up with a second home visit. I’ve got to admit that I’m pretty upset about this. I lack confidence in myself on lots of things, but being a good pet parent is not one of them. Has something like this happened to any of you?
