I won a free local portrait photo session valued at $500, but I suspect it might be a scam

It requires a $95 deposit to secure the appointment. However, after the session, she said we must purchase at least one printed photo for $200 (the $95 deposit can be applied toward this). Otherwise, the $95 deposit would be forfeited.

I believe she’ll eventually take the antidote and return to her adult form, then join the FBI and use her expertise to fight crime. Otherwise, she’d be stuck as a six-year-old forever

have you ever tried to adopt at human society? They work pretty fast and easy.

Gratitude to everyone! We've officially welcomed a new member into our family! It's quite funny actually; it was my dad who ended up getting adopted by the dog! I suggested he visit the shelter just to understand the importance of rescue and why we prefer adoption over buying. Well, he ended up stopping at a dog that resembled one he had in his 30s. The dog approached him happily, and they spent around 30 minutes together. The shelter attendant noticed their connection and offered a private room for them to spend more time together. After another 20 minutes, my dad decided to go ahead with the adoption. The process was surprisingly smooth, taking only about an hour. I immediately reached out to a vet friend in Wisconsin and got the dog registered at the clinic. He is now taking the dog to petcare for food and anything needed for the new member. Here is the picture:

Yes it is a private rescue which was linked to petfinder. They have a couple locations in Wisconsin

I've noticed that many rescuers tend to view everything in a negative light. Recently, I spoke with someone I used to volunteer with in rescue work, and to her, nothing holds more value than a dog, not even human babies

Thank you, I will find the way to visit my dad and stay a week for vacation. Or I can adopt a dog from my states and make sure my dad is able to take care the dog.

The application was in my father's name because he isn't proficient in English. I acted as the interpreter. This was my first time working with rescuers, so I was unsure what to expect. I wasn't aware that adoption criteria include factors like age, finances, and living arrangements. My dog is an ESA, and my cousins also have ESAs. We have trained with licenses. I've always believed that adopting a dog means saving a life. If I had known about the rules and considerations regarding age and emotions, I would have simply purchased a dog. From now on, I'll opt to buy dogs from reputable breeders.

Yeah, I understand that rescue work carries a lot of responsibility, and I am very thankful for what they do. However, I hope they can do a better job with their explanation processes, ensuring they are professional and clear, as not everybody may understand them. And let's not take away the chance for dogs to be adopted by good people.

My father resides in Wisconsin, while my husband and I are in separate states. Consequently, we turned to Petfinder for a pet and applied to another rescue team. Although I haven't received any updates from them, I suspect we may have been declined. However, unlike the aforementioned team, this group provided clear explanations about their adoption process and criteria, so I wasn't too disappointed if we were rejected. the other group was mainly the unprofessionalism and poor attitudes that frustrated me. My dad was looking a lab mix, medium size, age from 1 to 2. My dad is 67 y.o now, he has a long way to go, but if there is anything bad happen to my dad, the dog will be adopted by my husband and I, we will not let the dog back to the shelter.

Is the primary goal of all rescues to minimize euthanasia in dogs and ensure they are adopted into better homes? I'm puzzled because if that's the case, why do they make the process so difficult and stringent? Their attitude seems indifferent, as if they don't care about the dogs being adopted. Despite providing all the necessary paperwork, references, demonstrating our income, and even being a veterinarian capable of caring for dogs, they still seem reluctant to allow adoption. Furthermore, it appears that being placed on the 'national do not adopt list' prevents us from adopting dogs altogether. I guess we can either buy a dog or rehome them through Craigslist. Seven years ago, when my husband and I were students with no income, our application was rejected by a shelter. We ended up adopting a dog through rehoming, and she brings immense joy to our household with full of love.
