MeAndMaggieM
Boxer Booster
I recently bought a new house with not one, but two, fenced yards that is 2 blocks from the beach and in easy reach of several dog parks. Now that I'm in a home where I can have another dog I'm desperately trying to find a companion for me and Maggie.
Before I even moved I started to put in applications with 4 of 5 rescue groups that service Mass. so I could get the process started. I've only heard back from one of them to tell me that the dogs I were interested in were already adopted or not the right fit. Not one of them has bothered to contact me to actually begin the application review process and none of my references have been called (in all fairness the last application was submitted only a few days ago because I got tired of waiting to hear from the others).
I have to say I'm more than a bit angry and annoyed with these groups. I know that they are run with volunteers and that their time is limited but, if they are so desperate to place all these homeless dogs, why haven't they even bothered to return one of my many phone calls or emails?? Meanwhile dogs are coming and going and, in the case of a dog I REALLY want to adopt, being returned to the rescue because he is deaf and people can't handle his disability. It's been 2 months since my first application for him and not a word.
I have an animal care background, including working with deaf dogs and dogs with other issues, and have adopted from a rescue before. I can give references of several vets and other people who can vouch for what a great Boxer mom I am. I even work for a pet products manufacturer!! So why won't anyone call me???? If they have questions or concerns about my application, why don't they ask me??
Can someone help me find a Boxer boy please?????? Please give me a chance to be a forever home for another homeless wiggle butt!!
