ARGH.

I have been in contact with a woman who has been TRYING to get her adoption application processed for ARPH (an Aussie rescue organization). She has been getting the fucking run-around since JANUARY. JANUARY. I know the FL chapter of ARPH has been going through some crap (the main rep stepped down, and I have no idea if anyone's replaced her or not, and the local rep, who was my main liasion, also resigned due to bureaucratic stupidity). So this woman, who was a fantastic potential adopter, by the way, is now completely discouraged and probably rightfully disgusted with ARPH.

THESE DOGS NEED HOMES, PEOPLE. ALIENATING POTENTIAL ADOPTERS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT PUTTING SAID DOGS IN HOMES. WHAT THE HELL. GET OVER YOURSELVES AND RETURN A FEW FUCKING PHONE CALLS.

A friend up here had terrible problems with an Aussie rescue group up here about 5 years ago. She'd fostered for them and adopted two of her dogs from them, but when she could no longer care for her dog and needed their help to find him a new home, she couldn't get them to return her calls. At all.

She finally found a way to get him into a new home in a better environment, but she's done with rescue for good.

Poor puppies. You know, be as incompetent as you want on your own time, but don't make the poor dogs suffer for it.

Sheesh. :/
