The adoption cordinator (sp) called me this morning and she was asking me all these questions about filarotten calling and I didnt know what to say to her and then she told me that she didnt think Charlie would be right for me :( even though the foster mom thought that it would work out perfectly...and its all because I have Chloe and my fence is only 30 feet by 30 feet...:( I actually felt sick to my stomach when she told me that...I am just feeling sooo awful right now and its not fair at all...so I dont get Charlie :(

WHAT?! NOOOOOO!! You call her right back and tell her that the wrath of Chazhound will be upon her if she doesn't let you have Charlie!

Geez, all I said was... I had seen Charlies picture on petfinder and wondered if he was still up for adoption? Would they please give me a call on my cellphone #.

I didn't even give my name to the shelter guy, I just asked if Charlie had been adopted yet, and I never mentioned I was from Texas.

OMG Jess, I'm speechless. What makes this woman think that she knows Charlie better than his foster mom does?

What a crappy start to your day.. I'm so sorry. ((hugs)) Any chance you could get things sorted out or at least get a better explanation from her as to why she doesn't think Charlie is a good fit? What's wrong with you having Chloe?

She was acting like we were in cahoots with each other to get Charlie to Texas or something..I dont know why she even brought it up so I dont know why she had such a problem with me when Charlies foster mom liked me alot, and I asked her about that and she said "well, its my decision not hers" :(

Your fence is "only" 30'x30'??? That's plenty of room! I keep a catahoula and a blackmouth cur in a yard that's even smaller. They're both happy, healthy boys. Don't they take into account the fact that you would obviously do whatever it takes to make your dogs happy??

That gets me so mad! *grrr* I swear, if some of these rescues had their way, nobody would own a dog unless they had five acres of fenced land, a 3,000 squre foot house, and stayed at home all day.

And this person seems a bit...uninformed. In my area of Texas at least, catahoulas are so common its ridiculous. In any given day, there is at least one catahoula available for adoption in the animal shelter. They even give away puppies FOR FREE in the newspaper. Given that, why would anyone try to "take" a puppy all the way from North Carolina?

Ok now things like that really **** me off.... Like you'd never take them outside the yard for exercise, right? :rolleyes: I see sooo many wonderful homes turned down for rescue dogs because they don't have a suitable yard, they go to work, they have another dog etc. yet the same people have been able to keep Border Collies happy in apartments. Ultimately it's the dogs who pay the price, often times they never find the home that the people in charge conside "perfect". I'm involved in rescue for the dog's sake but I absolutely hate seeing good homes turned down because of ridiculous reasons like that. Like Gemp said, 30x30 is enough space and if the dogs need a good hard romp with lots of zoomies, there are most likely parks nearby!

I've actually forgotten the circumstances... is Charlie in a privately owned rescue or just a shelter dog being fostered?

Again I'm so sorry. :( What a rotten situation.

Awww, jess I'm so sorry to hear that...

It does anger me that the rescue is being like this... you said Charlie's been with his foster mom for a year! That's a long time... I wonder who her boss is. Maybe you should give them a call. Saying that you walk them regularly and your yard is plenty big enough for two dogs. Also that you felt that this woman you've been speaking to is discriminating against you for some reason. The foster lady thought that Charlie would be great with you! You got along great with him! He needs a home, you want to give him a home....

AAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!

If all filarotten asked was if he was still up for adoption I don't see how that would cause a problem. People must call and ask about dogs all the time... That's just weird...

I'm so sorry. Maybe you can work this out though someway, by talking to someone other than this b!tch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there no one else you can speak to? Just that horrible woman?

She must have a boss... You've never even spoken to her??!?! Did anything happen at the meeting that perhaps the foster mom might've relayed? It seems like she's just coming up with reasons as to why you can't have him... Maybe the foster mom doesn't want him to leave. She has had him for a long time...

No nothing happened, the foster mom is an older woman who wants Charlie to go to someone younger that can handle him, and every question she asked me about Charlie's breed I knew the answer and that stupid woman IS the boss :(

There's something not right going on there, Jess . . . That's just, well, "off." If you're up for it, contact this woman's superior, talk to her, and refer her to the threads about Charlie . . . get her e-mail address and send her the links.

They probably got Fila's location by doing a reverse phone search on the area code. That would tell them she's in Texas. No real magic there ;)
