70-Year-Old Woman Told She’s Too Old To Adopt Young Dog

A Wisconsin-based animal rescue group is refusing to let a 70-year-old woman adopt a one-year-old yorkie mix and the reason appears to be her age.  The woman identified only as Mary says the e-mail she got from Fluffy Dog Rescue suggests there may be a dog “more suitable,” a dog aged three years or older.  The Hartland-based rescue says it has established a formula for older applicants who are looking for a dog to adopt.  The organization did not use the words “too old” in its communication.
