Some dogs do need recommendations not to be homed with children due to size or excitability, but a blanket ban on families because of a child's age seems most unfair, it is not an issue I have had myself, but kids and dogs are meant to be together it benefits both of them. How very frustrating for you!<br />Dawn https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044884999278553713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101333074974738058.post-75878882321146923502012-12-22T00:45:06.269+00:002012-12-22T00:45:06.269+00:00I have found this too - I fostered for the Cats Pr...I have found this too - I fostered for the Cats Protection Leauge for a number of years but will any shelter or organisation let us re-home a cat or dog? No. Our children are deemed 'too young' at 3 and 4.<br />I think many people do try re-homing centres first and when they are turned away they turn to advertising sites and that's when a huge amount of animal problems stem from - dogs being breed for a fast buck, often not taking into account bloodlines and testing interbreeds and poorly puppies are being sold to unsuspecting people.<br />*rant over* xMammasaurushttp://mammasaurus.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101333074974738058.post-17692556700268948252012-12-21T09:14:35.793+00:002012-12-21T09:14:35.793+00:00Thanks Lesley your feedback is much appreciated.

There appears to be no shortage of money for kennels, and that could be the problem. There is little/no financial incentive to re-home rescue animals. I bet if there was no money they wouldn't be such hard a*ses about prospective homes and families.<br /><br />Great post, Dawn x.Lesley Beetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384323023378437869noreply@blogger.com
