I know there is one group in SA – not one of the two big ones that does yard inspections and they charge for it too – for permanent adoption. I don’t know if they give any refund if you are refused.
I am not referring to the organisations that raise puppies for visually impaired Guide Dogs or for assistance dogs. People, often families volunteer as puppy educaters. They walk them every day, train them including going into shops etc and ignore food smells etc., not to chase other animals or birds. When they are walking/ training –they are then classed as working they wear a special harness and or coat. Other people are not supposed to distract them or touch them at all. They are also trained to tolerate loud noises so they don’t take fright and try to escape if a loud vehicle noise frightens them. Puppy educaters have the pups from 3 months old for 9 -12 months. Then they go to the next stage of training.

Yes I agree … when its meant to be, it will be.

I am so pleased that yard inspections are done and checks are in place as pets are forever.

Thanks for sharing; rescue dogs make lovely pets!

Never realised how hard it is to adopt a puppy until we started looking into it.
