Those are tougher requirements than some Social Services agencies (adoption) I've heard of. Go figure..........
We are keeping our paws crossed for ya Just my 2 bits, but for the home inspection, just leave your home with the lived in look, don't go out of the way to over kill clean. Are they bringing the dog also? Reason I ask is, before our home inspection with the pound they insisted we bring Kirby to meet Bart to see how they would get along, I also had to bring Kirby to meet Rascal but by this time we were pre-aproved on the home inspection. With Griffin's Rescue, yeah we thought the intence phone calls were pr*ck'ish also but we now understand why. And when our home inspection was done they brout his brother who we origonaly wanted along with another old dog. Then we had to travel to the mainland so Rascal could meet Griffin...... I'm really, really, REALLY crossing my paws for ya! PS..... I know Cat will eat Alpo....he even said he'd eat "turds"! I'd take Cat into our house, but then we would have to get another feline to subsidize his diet
Fat Tedy----PS..... I know Cat will eat Alpo....he even said he'd eat "turds"! I'd take Cat into our house, but then we would have to get another feline to subsidize his diet __________________ And a plus for me---I have extra keys for all my vehicles.
Even has extra keys......how do ya say no to such a nice Cat? But, lets all hope puppy (age don't matter) finds it's forever hope at Pinebox's place.....where a nice warm couch is allways waiting
Is there a dog involved here or just an inspection? Either way I'm sure you will pass with flying colours all you have to do is be yourself. I'm sure your other dogs will speak volumes to this woman. Hang in there.
I doubt that I will ever understand the mentality of the people that run the shelters... They claim that they don't want to put any dog down, but they make it next to impossible for people to adopt them.
Thats what I told Chris. I've already lost the dog in my mind, so if we get her, it'll be like Christmas morning to a 10 year old. If not? well I'm OK with that, too. After all, we already have two dogs.... Thanks for your support, everyone.:banana:
A shelter is one thing, sadly I have to agree with you....... A 'rescue' shelter is a very different story...........
The lady from Golden Retriever Rescue came by and met the family. She asked a few questions, looked around, talked with the dogs a bit. She even checked the back seat of the RAM for dog hair and nose prints! I'm pretty sure we'll be able to adopt a dog, but probably not the one we wanted.
It's difficult isn't it? You go through such a range of emotions. You see a dog that you think will fit into your family and then it is adopted to someone else. It's difficult to start the process over again. I guess if you passed the nose marks on the window test it's just a matter of time before you find out if you meet their expectations. When will you know?
Ha! She was concerned that we may let the dogs ride in the bed. As if! Cabot likes his soft seat and AC too much, even if he could climb up into the bed at his age. I can barely do it myself!
She would LOVE my car! When people ask the colour of the interior, I tell them "Beagle". Yes, it is sometimes difficult to tell exactly what colour it is supposed to be! Especially my last 79, after Hurley ATE a goodly portion of it, and then dug through the rest. Part of the dash, the steering wheel, and some of the door panels were still red. So was HALF of the ceiling. Head liner? I don't need no stinking head liner. It is only food for the dog!
We had a pretty bassett hound like that. Bitch from Hell was the name I called her. Chris called her Wiggles. Aluminum bag of citrus fertilizer? Yummy! She ate every crumb. Bag and all. Mail? Tasty. Cash? A gourmet delight for her. Loud and smelly and always sticking her nose where it didn't belong, she ruined me for hounds forever. (No offense)
