Still I realize this is not the norm but in my posts I am
speaking about me, not the vast majority. Since I did
say I didn't care for strangers coming into my house.
We collect artifacts. How am I to know about the
rescue person? Should I do a background check
on them, to see if they might come back
and steal my collection of Indian Artifacts?


Hmmmmmm I have to say there are SO many NEW people that come here and I have
yet to worry about such, and believe me when I say the house is packed with
good stuff.: )

Of course I do have my little dogs to guard their stuff
; )

snip about me making messes

Try having mucho MEN always here, with MUDDY BOOTS on !

No but it is MO that these HC's and rigid, unflexibility does
turn many people off, thus continuing a high market
for Puppy mills, BYB and Pet Stores. JMO of course.

So be it t hen, as if it turns them off perhaps they are nt the right one to
adopt a dog to.

I do understand Sally but some ppl don't want strangers in
their houses. Especially ones they have NO background
on, ie criminal record, credit history, spouse, kids etc.


Interesting you feel that way as most people that work in rescue are putting
themselves in harms way by going to a strange house.

I know that I always have one of my dogs or a friend as some people can creep
you out.


As I mentioned I have quite a valuable collection at home.


You know you mentioned this a few times and I have to say if you wanted a dog
from me I would have to consider how important your collection is to you and
that perhaps a dog from me would not be for you.

AS most of mine are annoying 80-100 pound pups!

And they *could* break something very easily and what then I would be thinking?


DH is very strange about ppl being in our house that he
doesn't know very well for this reason. I do mean very
strange.

He considers this collection gold or his babies.


Again VERY interesting.

And a rescue person could be just anyone? How much
is the rescue facility checking on the people doing
HC's? Seriously. I would like to know all that
had to be disclosed in order to become a HC'er.

I am very curious.


Ok with me and because I am well known here I doubt very much people are
afraid of me.(at least in me stealing from them) ; )

Also all our volunteers that do home visits are women so perhaps that would be
less threatning ?


I KNOW all my volunteers as I said I make them follow me around for a few weeks
and they too have to fill out an extensive application .

Reason being you do not want any nutties if you can help it as that is a law
suit just waiting to happen.

If we do have a guy a woman goes with him, to make the person who is at home at
ease.

Anyway GWen all your questions are VERY GOOD and VALID.

turned down. Anyone can say they self-vaccinate when they really don't so,
in such cases, I'd demand titer results.


The folks I bought Image from self-vaccinate (it's common in
mushing kennels, where they typically have a lot of dogs and
modest means). When I bought Image I was provided with the
wrapper (with label) from the bottle the vaccine came in,
along with hand-written information about the date it was
administered, etc. I'm comfortable with that, myself.

OK!


Regard Sam Walton, whose schtick included driving around in
an old pickup truck. I know people with modest incomes who
buy used luxury cars and maintain them well and I know
people who make good money but don't care about cars and
drive old beaters. There are a lot of factors involved in
who drives what.
