I'm glad you volunteer at such a wonderful shelter!
I have also volunteered at two different shelters that are no-kill. In both cases, the animals were in very confined spaces with minimal attention (too many animals), and people who came in to adopt animals were often lied to about their behaviour unless a volunteer stepped in.
It's great that your experiences have been more positive. However going from what I know, they will be much happier & healthier here than in an environment like that. Besides, if they can be placed directly into a new home rather than going from place to place, why would I not take that route?
I have taken people up on offers, FTR, unfortunately it has not worked out as of yet (circumstances change for everyone, not just me).
Thankfully, a wonderful person has offered to help.
As far as rude and ignorant goes; I found your assumptions to be less than pleasant (and definitely not helpful) as well.
