It was friends helping out....people that I have talked to everyday on here for SIX months...I do consider them friends...I dont care if they were diplomatic or not, it just meant the world to me that they even cared enough to write...
but thank you..I appreciate it
but thank you..I appreciate it
Geez, sorry.
My letter.
I won't deny that I can be somewhat long winded but this is the letter I emailed off, based on the forum and that fact that I went back and looked at her other posts (new to the forum and wanted to just see WHO I was defending). Do you think I went overboard?
I am writting this to make a concern of mine known. A member of a pets forum is being unfairly (it seems) denied the rights to adopt a dog from one of your foster homes. I am not going to make this a hate campaign, maybe there are some legitimate reasons not mentioned in the forum for refusing her... but here are my concerns. I realize screening is very necessary, I volunteer at the local SPCA and realize what would happen if just anyone was allowed to take home any animal they chose without checking for suitability. Lack of screening at pet stores is probibly one of your biggest pet peeves as well as my own. But in my opinion, if someone has a dog, it appears well cared for, it's shots and vet visits are up to date, it's happy and well nourished, and the sole reason given for refusal is that the dog run isn't big enough (and the dimensions given sound more then sufficient, the dog isn't living in there after all). Then that is like saying only rich people with palacial homes should be allowed to foster children. In a world where euthanization of unwanted dogs runs rampant due to lack of room in shelters and foster homes, it seems as if there is something prejudicial about a decision such as this being made by one Ms.Dorothy Day in regards to a fostered dog named Charlie. Especially when, as I've heard it, the foster parents are supportive of the adoption as well. I am basing this on the forum and on the good reputation known about the applicant, Jean, and if there is some information with held then I apologize for taking your time, but on the off chance that she isn't some evil mastermind that has duped the hundreds of people who interact with her daily on this pet forum, I sincerely feel that you should look into this personally. I, and obviously Jean, would much appreciate the issue being reconsidered by another, impartial party.
With Thanks,
Deborah Roy

Apology accepted and please take care...a stroke won't be beneficial to anyone. I haven't gotten to the end of the thread so don't know if anyone has posted a response. I expect that one of the reasons is the time, not the number of emails. This entire thread isn't that old, and the total number of emails logged by the poll not that many YET.
With your permission, I'd like to post the information from this thread to other sites frequented by pet lovers who may be willing to help with the emails. It would also bring people in who are not associated with chazhound specifically and perhaps put a little more emphasis on the fact that the "animal lovers" community is not going to continue to tolerate this type of behavior.
I will also need to contact you Jess and get the details as to names and locations, etc., for the article. If you would, please go to the website and email me from there...just click on any of the email links (except technical assistance) and identify yourself in the email...I'll get it and get back to you as soon as I can with my questions.
I know it is hard to wait, especially when this should have been taken care of when you thought it had been...but try to stay calm and know that no one here is going to abandon the fight.
