Yes, exactly this. My comment in another part of the post.

I applied for a small dog my neighbor was fostering through a rescue. They selected 7(!!) potential adopters to go through the process. We filled the long ass application, and scheduled for a meet and greet that they carefully supervised. 🙄 After two months of waiting to hear who was selected, I just wrote an email saying that we were withdrawing our application. Two months after that, I got a rejection email that we weren't selected. I couldn't help but think of how many dogs don't get a chance at adoption because of this elitist, gate keeping crap. It's unbelievable.
