| - This is a review from the perspective of an individual not affiliated with "A Home For Spot". The only reason I am giving one star here is due to fact that someone actually returned my call, non of the other "rescues" have so far. A dog was abandoned in our neighborhood. He was filthy, thin, young and eating out of garbage cans on garbage day. Once I realized he was friendly I welcomed into our yard and gave him water. I had my husband bring home a bag of dog food that night and we've been taking care of him out of our own pocket ever since. We've been trying on our own to find him a home but our efforts to find a GOOD home for this lovely pitbull have been futile. I finally decided to contact a rescue for assistance placing him in a good home. I am not looking to drop him off anywhere and I am happy to keep caring for him at my own cost until a home can be found. When I received a call back from "A Home For Spot" I was very surprised by the information.
After explaining the situation I was told that I would have to get the dog neutered, at my own cost, before they would help me to find him a home. I absolutely agree with spaying and neutering. Paying for this service on a pet that is not my responsibility I have an issue with, but I was willing to seek out an inexpensive option per her suggestion if it would help the dog find a home. Then, she wanted to know if he was socialized with other animals. A valid question I thought, but I have no idea since we have no pets. She suggested I take him to a dog park and find out(from through the fence). I explained that this would be difficult. I have two children under the age of two it's difficult even going to the grocery store, my husband is gone working constantly and I have safety concerns taking my babies to a dog park in the first place. She snapped back, "Well, I have nine dogs and two kids and I do it all on my own." I was done. I said thank you for the information and goodbye.
I am even more shocked to be learning per these reviews all of the supplies and vet care that the volunteers for this group are receiving. I am happy that these volunteers are greatly supported in their efforts. Why not offer some support to someone trying to do the same thing on their own? I'm happy to pay for feeding him and pick up after him while a home is being found, not a problem. Why make it so difficult and shame someone for their legitimate limitations? I am very disappointed. I will absolutely not take this sweet dog to Lied and unfortunately I am back to square one. I can understand that this lady probably deals with some very ignorant and careless individuals and perhaps she is just frustrated. But please realize that this is not the case for everyone. Some of us are on your team and trying to help, not add to the problem. I can only hope that this review serves as a reset button on how you treat individuals seeking your assistance. Thank you and many blessings.
