They wanted nothing to do with it as there is large equipment nearby. I now have two completely spoiled beagles that have had zero living issues here. Sometimes those places are counter productive. They don’t look at it as will the dog be safe, loved and cared for. They go above and beyond to nitpick on stuff that really has little impact. To each there own. right. i understand a yard is more than useful for dogs and puppies. but this is the real world, not fary tale land. not everyone has a 150x50 fenced back yard. if it seams to be a good home who cares that hell be leash walked all the time? highly agree with you. this was the case when i was trying to adopt. i finally got anoyed and said fuck that. ended up finding my latest pup on craigslist. family couldnt keep him and all they wanted was for him to go to a good home. they didnt run my credit, or check employment, or do a drug test, or check my house, or measure my lawn. they met with me and my other dog and that was that. in the truck he went and hes been great ever since. im not knocking these organizations because what they do is needed and i do understand they have to do some things to prevent people who will neglect the dogs adopt them, but not letting someone adopt them because of lawn size is assnine. i have a small unfenced yard on a busy road. even if it was fenced i wouldnt let them out without me out with them anyways. that doesnt mean they are neglected or not cared for. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dog-lovers-itt/262805)._
