Rescues try to turn the dogs around pretty quickly. It is harder for the dog to spend a lot of time in a home, get attached and then get moved into a different home.
The only extended homes you usually see are ones where they find a dog is heartworm positive. Then the dog stays with you throughout the treatment and when perfectly healthy gets spayed or neutered. Sometimes terribly shy dogs, like puppy mill refugees stay in foster care for quite a while because they are so emotionally damaged they could not function in a normal adoption home.
