Our Florida Weim organization merged with another organization called Big Dog Ranch. It’s a big place where the dogs have lots of space...but the Weims they try to foster. The older Weims (some are 13 or older) they keep there at the Ranch, I don’t imagine many people adopt 13 year old dogs and it gives the dogs a nice place to live out their days. The organization does a good job of getting the Weims from kill shelters and into their custody.
Check out their site if you’re interested, they have a link to all adoptable dogs and a link to adoptable Weims (bdrr.org). Wonder if they have any boxers, now I’ll have to go look :)
In my opinion, the rescues are good hearted people who want only the best for their animals. But they go too far - too demanding, too invasive, too threatening, etc.
They are looking for the perfect home, in their eyes. What animals truly want, and only want, is food, shelter,love. That's it.
Rescues have driven away good homes in their efforts to find perfection.
Heck! I had to write an essay to get my last Golden!
Pssssst We are doing the same thing. /HIJACK
Yeah, I know.
Meanwhile, child adoptions will take anything, including rushing singles and homos to the top of the list.

Great article. I just rescued Buford and this one made me smile. So much rings true!
I just went to my budget tracker and the ranking of most expensive items in my “6 month emergency fund” is as follows:
1. Property Taxes
2. Groceries
3. Buford
4. Cell phone
The remaining items are all nickels and dimes.....It looks like I fit the article pretty well.
I had to just re-calibrate my budget to reflect the spending to date on this darn money grubber. He is now heads and tales above the “prop tax” line item! I am spending at a pace that equals prop tax plus cell phone!
I am sure that will slow down, so I cut it drastically for the EF, but if I only look at actual spending, then I fit the article perfectly.
