Apparently, the dog didn't see it coming either! :wink:"divorced people apparently cant keep pets" bandwagon, and he's back! Wish us luck!!
I know, I know. there's no reason why i SHOULDN'T get him. I'm just a nervous wreck. I'm so close to him being mine, if something goes wrong I'll be totally crushed. I can't believe I'm even getting a second chance with this dog.Just be patient.
This is a special needs dog and not many people would take a blind dog. Bless You. I went to a shelter on a Monday and by the following Monday, the dog was ready for pickup. You will need to sign a contract. This protects the financial interests of the cost of healthcare given to the dog prior to adoption. Most shelters are in dire need of money and materials for animal comfort. They are operating on a slim budget and cannot afford to return your adoption fees beyond the 5 or 7 day period after adoption. The wording of contracts will probally vary from State to State.
I see no problem and you should get the dog.
If I could share anything about what to expect during a home visit, it's just their opportunity to meet you and get to know you, not so much to inspect the house, but to give you a chance to ask questions and for them to ask you questions. Really, it's nothing to worry about. All of my pets came from rescues. I've had my home checked about 4 times, by different rescues...... I just don't know EXACTLY what things they are going to look for. We have a secure yard, our downstairs is totally (and I mean totally) doggy proof. All tile, and minimal furnature. clean countertops.
