After visiting several shelters around Columbus trying to match a new family member with existing family members and calling the various rescue groups, I had given up the search for awhile. I can't believe what is expected of a person trying to rescue an unwanted dog these days. It is truly easier and sometimes more cost effective to just purchase a new puppy from a breeder. But I did't want to add to the overpopulation problem. Still, the thought of a long drawn out application process, including sometimes two home visits and a rehoming fee that was sometimes just ludicrous was not appealing either. Did I mention, all this trouble is to take an unwanted dog off of somebody's hands...Geesh. I know, I know, they don't want them back and they don't want them used in any dog fighting practice, but there has to be a happy medium.
Anyhoo, I decided that during our weekend visit back to my adopted hometown of Wooster,OH that I would stop by the Wayne County Humane Society for a peek at their pooches. We had recently lost our last WCHS dog last February to what appeared to be tainted dog food problems. Their adoption procedures were much relaxed compared to C-bus. The family decided on a new family member and I will be making the drive up tomorrow to pick her up and bring her home.
