How did you learn English so well? Does Internet work reliably in Gaza?

I have seen many complaints that rescue organizations make adoption too difficult. Potential applicants are subject to extreme scrutiny, required to fill out lengthy forms, provide extensive documentation, often to be turned away for no really good reason by people who don't judge them to be good enough.

I can understand that people working in rescue organizations want to make sure that the animals get the best possible home. They can be quite vocal and passionate in defending their position. But they never seem to understand that the people they turn away will just end up buying a pet from a mill. And if the applicants really weren't suited to have a pet, the pet will end up in a shelter, compounding the problem.

Do you think adoption is too hard, or is the difficulty justified, despite the problem outlined above?
