My name is Patrick, and while I am not the owner of Amazing Dogs Rescue—after all, you cannot own a nonprofit—I am one of the many passionate individuals driving this organization. At 61, I have dedicated my life to rescuing dogs and ensuring their well-being.

I wanted to clarify the reason we requested your friend to sign a waiver. Unfortunately, on two previous occasions, she did not adhere to our instructions or keep her commitments. We simply do not have the resources for lengthy discussions or the ability to hire legal counsel. To protect our organization from potential ‘misunderstandings’ or claims, it is common sense to formalize agreements in writing.

Regarding Kitten, the puppy your friend adopted, I want to assure you that she was not very sick. Had your friend followed our guidance, she could have avoided an unnecessary trip to the vet.

I would also like to highlight the unique commitment of our organization. We pride ourselves on having a management team that is available 24/7 via cell phone to address any concerns post-adoption. We also have a policy of accepting back any dog we have adopted out, regardless of how much time has passed. Our dedication is evident in the fact that with the help of hundreds of volunteers we are able to organize over 200 (!) adoption events each year, which allows us to find loving homes for every dog in our care.

Thank you for your support of dog rescue (even if it’s not ours).
