Come to find out that some dog rescue agencies have a hard and fast rule that families with children under 14 can't adopt small dogs.
Huh?
A responsible pet owner will teach his/her children how to behave with and around pets. The mere existence of children shouldn't automatically disqualify anyone. The fact that the potential pet owner is childless does not insure that he/she will be a responsible pet owner.
The irony here is that the rescue agencies, at the same time they're supposedly attempting to save dogs, are forcing interested (and likely qualified) parties into purchasing dogs.
When we purchased Ellie (4.5 years ago when Rachel was 11), we didn't have to go through this kind of b.s.
