Many dogs that are come from shelters/pounds have personality issues and may be difficult to adopt out. Basic and obedience training with a professional may be an option to not only improve the dog's well being, but also to give them a higher chance of adoption.
Thank you to all rescues/fosters who take these dogs in to your home.
I write "randomly" about anything that comes to mind regarding what rescue is like in Rural Missouri and other "random," usually dog related topics.

Disappointing Day for the Dogs
No one found their forever home today. I'm sad for our foster babies.

Don't Give Up Your Principals
Almost everyone I know in animal rescue have volunteered for at least two and many times several groups before finding one that fit for them. Some even started a group of their own.
If you are working with a rescue you don't feel comfortable with, there are great rescues out there who would love your help.
If working with a particular rescue is causing nothing but stress for you, there are plenty out there that will work with you and your needs.
Above all, remember you are the volunteer; don't go against your heart and your gut. If you find that you are being asked to do that, maybe it is time for a change.
