Thank you all for your support...they chose to get nasty with some of the people who helped me find literature and came out with these responses to these people:

You are entitled to your opinion. Our organzation operates on only ONE precept: what is best for the pugs. We have determined, with reason, to not place pugs in homes with large reptiles, birds of prey, or wolf-hybrid dogs. This determination was made after research and consultaton with veterinarians. Your criticism will not change our determination.

Please note that at the bottom of the application is the statement "we reserve the right to refuse any applicant".

Really?

I've chosen to go to a different rescue because this Sherry snob wont see reason at any cost. I really hope no pugs get turned away because of lack of foster homes, because that would be on your head Sherry!
