Dog-lover rejected 54 times from adopting a dog from animal shelters, he blames everyone except himself: 'I have literally 0 references for their bias application forms'

According to the internet, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. You would think that after five times, someone would try to switch strategies and figure out a new way. Certainly after ten. After 20, if you're still trying the same thing without changing anything, we think we can safely call you insane. So what do you call someone who tries to adopt a dog 54 times and gets rejected every time? Ultra-mega-hyper insane?

This dog lover vented online about getting rejected 54 times from adopting a dog from local shelters, and is still wondering why he keeps getting rejected. It could be the fact that he refuses to give any references on his application forms, but that's just our silly little conjecture. Not a friend, family member, or teacher who could vouch for you? Not a single one?

We're all for people adopting animals in need, but they should also go to the right home. If he's not willing to put in the effort to find some references, how much effort will he put in to caring for a dog, which is significantly harder than finding a reference to add to an application form?

Is it broken? It's certainly overwhelmed. It's overrun with stray and returned animals, especially this time of year where people get pets as gifts, realize how much work they are, and then return them. Don't be those people - don't give a pet as a gift. A pet must be a decision made by all parties to commit to for the next 10-20 years.

We wholeheartedly disagree. Selling pets at pet stores seems much more unethical than at an animal shelter. With pet stores come puppy mills, and those are some of the worst stains on humanity's existence. Truly horrific.
