Keeping in mind our organization is run entirely by volunteers, we do our very best to begin processing your application upon receipt. If we have any questions regarding your application, we will contact you first. Typically though, we will proceed with contacting your personal references and veterinarian before we get in touch with you. Depending on your avialablity, and ours, it may take a couple of days to complete this process. Please have paitence. We know you are excited, and we are excited for you, but we are committed to making sure the dogs in our care are placed in wonderful, loving, forever homes.
