It is harder to adopt a dog then it is to have a child. . .
These are the steps so far:
- 6-Page application (typed)
- 12 clarification emails about the application (further explaining many answers - honesty doesn't seem to pay off when adopting a dog and ALL animal shots MUST have always been exactly up to date on all shots, medicines, etc. - NO excuses)
- 3 personal references checked
- 4 prior veterinarians used confirmed that animals were well cared for
- 3 more clarification emails about why animals might have gone a few extra months between check ups
- 2 phone calls to the rescue to discuss, schedule and explain about the home visit
- 1 home visit to determine if our house has everything we said it should have (fenced yard, room to run, dog materials {bowls, blankets, crate, toys}, and who really lives in the house)
- 1 trip to the pet store to purchase all needed materials, food, toys, collar, leash ($150 later)
- 1 car ride to pick him up
- 2 stops on the way home to put the excited dog back into the back seat of the car
Pictures will follow!!!
