A Home 4 Ever Rescue

My Husband and I had contacted this rescue about adopting a 2 year old dog, Everything was fine on the phone, the meeting was set up. When we arrived however, the second the owner of the rescue, and the foster for the dog in question saw us, they immediately looked at us like we were trash. We were by no means dressed poorly for the occasion, By that moment we knew we were dealing with racists/​bigots. They decided to lead us on anyway and take us into the play area to get to know the dog and have some questions asked, seemed pointless at this stage seeing as they had already made up their minds the instant we walked up to them.
After having informed them that my husband works from home, the foster decided to pry some more and ask about what I do, No need seeing as we had already told them we were at home for 90% of the time. When we had come to the point at which we’d want to make the decision to adopt or not, the foster started stammering saying that there was another family coming to look at the dog today, we asked what time, she was looking at the rescue owner dead in the eye trying to signal her to give a passable answer. It was pretty damn obvious that there was no second family, not knowing the time they would come for starters, they had their adoption event set up for around 3 hours by the way.
They then told us that there were plenty more dogs out there, and it’s a «big decision», having already told them that my husband and I had always grown up with dogs in the family, and to give it a think and come back with an answer. So we walked around the Petco just talking about it for 10 minutes. we decided we wanted to adopt the dog, so we made our way back to the pair, both of whom were sitting down. It took literally 2 minutes for them to acknowledge us standing beside them, and neither of them would look at us in the eye when speaking, told them we’d like to adopt the dog, then out of nowhere we’re told that they’re now looking for a «family with a garden so the dog can go out whenever she wants» and «not be curled up in the corner of the apartment all day», nice assumption there, how rude. We have plenty of grass in the apartment complex and she made it out as though we never take out our dogs.
Keep in mind that we had filled out the application online prior, spoke on the phone, they knew our situation and yet having a garden with ²⁴⁄₇ access was a must.
My advice is screw this rescue, Go to a shelter or poochmatch rescue where they won’t discriminate you by your looks, race etc.
TL;DR
This rescue and it’s foster are both Racists/​bigots who won’t let you adopt a dog unless you’re an old white couple on your pension with ²⁴⁄₇ access to a yard.
P. S. Don’t believe their comment reply, half of it isn’t even true, dog not «responding positively» etc. they’re just trying to cover themselves.

What a wonderful rescue group. I took my Dog home the same day I met him They have a quick and easy process. He was neutered, microchipped and had all of his shots. He just needed lots of love and a forever home. If I ever have the room I will adopt from them again.

I found my dog Maggie at A Home 4 Ever Rescue. Thank you for bringing me and my new fur baby together! The ladies at this event really are invested on helping the dogs find loving homes. Donna is incredible and made the adoption process very simple and pleasant.
Thank you for all your hard work:)

I love this rescue organization! A locally based rescue in my neighborhood and community of Eastside Costa Mesa, they do so much to help dogs and give them a second chance at life with loving homes and care while they get adopted. I saw my little baby girl online with this organization and met the dog named Paris last year and fell in love with her immediately. Thank you to Sherry and all the volunteers that make this rescue a success!
