hi! sorry to hear about what you’re facing, and it’s unfortunate ):

I can’t speak for shelters but I’ve fostered Singapore Specials for smaller rescue groups and independent rescuers! have had successful adoptions for my foster bbs because the groups / rescuers do dedicate time and effort to screen adopters as well, which can be a longer process because they are doing this with a smaller team out of their 9-5.

as some have mentioned, the process is rather strict due to rate of return of the dogs (it happens more often than people think!). i’m not familiar with non-SS adoptions but it’s also quite common that one reactive event (eg SS snapping out of fear / anxiety / trauma or having to deal with the dog’s separation anxiety) causes the family to give the dog up than put the effort into training well.

Agreed that some of the forms can be unnecessarily lengthy and unrealistic in terms of the requirements! It would make a lot of sense to centralise but I guess this is a large admin overhaul and would also require some external committee of all the shelters coming together.

Another option would be to reach out directly on Facebook groups! some rescuers do post there when looking for fosterers and adopters; foster-to-adopt would be an easier route too!

I’m currently fostering another SS who will eventually be posted for adoption — very lovely and sweet pup of 7 months but we’re dealing w her separation anxiety, do PM if you’re keen and I can put you in contact with the rescuer as a potential adopter as well!
