Its tough on people who live in states like Massachusetts who have strict dog rules. Dogs are not available in shelters unless you want a pitbull mix. These people make you pay money when you put in an application for a dog and turn you down for ridiculous stuff. I was turned down for a dog because I did not have another big dog in home. There are a lot more ways to socialize a dog then to have another in the home. Wish I had seen the reviews here before even applying. Definitely seems like a scam. $15 a person adds up! If I thought it was helping dogs get rescued I wouldn't be so angry, but I bet its lining someones pocket instead.
