This is a mastiff rescue org, who had a mastiff posted for adoption on per finders

I filled out an aplication. After being contacted by her I opened my home to a "Home Visit Inspection", provided 5 referances (that all check out), gave my vet info. did everything she asked.

During this time (3 weeks) I had visited the dogs several times and had fallen in love with them. I found out that the one she posted came in with another dog and she was asking that they be adopted together (she did not post them together). I had no problem with taking both.

On the 3rd week of this procees she called and told me I had been approved, asked if I had dog food and told me I would have to sign a contract that let her keep part ownership. I told her that I was not looking for a CO-Ownership, and asked if she could email me a copy of the contract. At this time she became very angry. About 5 minutes later she sent me an email saying I was not approved to adopt these dog.

This is bad policy. A rescue org should promote rescue, she did not. People like her demote rescue. She set me against rescueing a dog because I do not want to fall in love again to have the object of my effection pulled out of my hands.

Please do not let her do the same to you.
