I know most animal rescue organizations are busy but should I be worried that I got a response on my application looking great and then I never heard back about setting up a meeting? There is a pup I'm interested in and cannot get anywhere.  4951

I heard from her last night around midnight. I wanted to set up a meeting with one of the pups today as the weekend is the best time and never heard back. 4951

Try to get in touch with her again.  Things happen, people get busy.  If she responded to you around midnight last night, that may be her time to get on the computer?  Emoticon  Good luck!! 4951

If you heard from her at midnight, it tells me she's probably very busy.  Keep in mind that folks that do Rescue are volunteers with lives of their own.  Often times you have to work with their schedule not what is most convenient for youYou have to be patient.  I'm sure you will hear from her soon.Good Luck. 4951

I still haven't heard a word back. I would think giving these pups a home would be worth a two minute response back by email...maybe I'm wrong. 4951

@Ally: You also need to keep in mind that you may not be the only applicant for a particular dog.  So it could very well be that they are checking into applications as well.

Don't worry Ally...just keep trying. I know we can get 100 emails a day. They have to be sorted through. Most don't have a fence so they can't qualify for a Husky (unless they live in an apartment). We get them from all over the country...most begging us to take their dog. Our Director tries to respond to them all. She may have company, or isn't feeling great, family responsibilities, nursing a sick dog....you never know. Just keep contacting him/her...and thanks for wanting to save a life. 4951

@OkiedokieShe did, last night...again at midnight. LOLI'm still no closer to seeing this lil guy. The dog is a year old but new to her and she's not sure about me having a child or me seeing her yet...I don't know why. Maybe I should just move on. It looks like she's in no hurry to adopt any of her pups. 4951

@Ally: Sounds awful but in order to get the cats I wanted, I never mentioned that I had a child.  The pup on the other hand, I told them that I had a full house-cats and child.
