There’s outrage online Wednesday after a local animal rescue organization posted it will not permit families of children with autism to adopt dogs.
The declaration has some calling for a boycott of the group, or at least a change in policy.
Cassidy Sabo says her family loves to spend time with their dog.
“This is Marlowe. We adopted him and he’s been a great addition to our family. We have a six-year-old son who has autism and he’s up for everything that we do.”
The Sabo family acquired Marlowe from a local humane society.
“We told them, when we went in. We said, ‘We have an autistic child.’ They didn’t ask any questions that we were offended by,” said Cassidy.
Marlowe came home soon after and with a small period of adjustment, mixed well with her son Wyatt.
