Wanted...Rescue

I think the sheltie we were looking rescue to has fallen through at this point. The rescue is not responding to emails or phone calls, never got a response to how our application and interview went... So me and my wife are back at looking to rescue.

We would prefer a female 1-4 years old. Prefer sables and bi blues. We are willing to go through application and home interviews. We are in Chattanooga, TN. Both of the close rescue orgs don't show any rescues right now. We will start checking non local ones and keeping watching pet finder, would appreciate it if y'all know of any that might fit our preferences and will try to answer any questions y'all have to help us find a new pup.

 

Thanks, put my application into the other semi local sheltie rescue this morning. Will probably also put in my application into the Georgia and Alabama rescues as well.

 

My posts are still coming up way behind cause I am still in moderation,.

The one up in Roane County was adopted and I believe there were two in Nashville, but they wanted to adopt them out as a pair from what I remember. I would of snapped up the roane county one fast, but I was still waiting to hear back from the local rescue org about the one I did the home interview with, but it looks like I won't be hearing from them.

I was talking to someone famaliar with rescues that said this is how they usually deny your application, they just don't respond or let you know anything. Anyone know if there is any truth to that? I have no problem if they wanted to deny me, but I would definitely like to know I have been denied and maybe why so I can try to fix it or if I can even fix the issue.

 

I would rather a purebred, preferably sable/bi-blue/blue merle.

There was actually one in Alpharetta I applied on in Petfinder (Duffy), but another lady applied first and got him.

I am working with some other rescues looking for one that matches our preferences. I feel bad for not looking at mixes and some of the other colors, but I want to make sure we get a dog we are happy with so we don't rescue and find out it is not what we wanted and return the animal. I don't want to be that person, so I am making sure we stick to our preferences.

 

Did not know about that one, will check it out.
