We have about 20 of them that sell animals and most aren't from mills, so you would think it wouldn't have been a hard sell, but people from out of state came in and started calling shelters all kinds of names and calling them 'for profit' and fake rescues.. some even accused them of stealing dogs to sell.. SMH... (mostly because they figured if one state could do it they would all fall) <br /><br />Congrats on finding a match.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33288643.post-7580771432967494772016-12-02T08:35:04.895-05:002016-12-02T08:35:04.895-05:00James P., some people don't even like to walk ...James P., some people don't even like to walk INTO rescues/shelters because they say it's too depressing. And some people take objection to the paperwork that needs to be filled out before they can take an animal home. "Why do you want to know where I work? I'm not telling you that!" And some people don't see why they should pay a rescue for a cat, when there are plenty just walking around loose. I've had people flat-out tell me, "You guys are running quite a racket here! Grabbing stray cats off the streets and selling them!" *sigh*<br /><br />I'm not saying these particular people are in any of those categories - they seemed to be more do-it-yourself-ers - but that's some of the reasons people avoid shelters. Add to that the fact that some shelters don't exactly have the best reputations (one local shelter (NOT one that I've volunteered for) used to mass-euthanize animals using the exhaust fumes from a VW bus back in the seventies, and people around here have LONG memories (myself included)), and ... yeah.<br /><br />rockygracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457010488015617811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33288643.post-44831770078884810882016-12-01T18:46:16.914-05:002016-12-01T18:46:16.914-05:00Love this.
