Jack - ADOPTED!

[blackdog]

Dear Jack:

Hey, kid, it's me, Mel! I'm shopping for a roommate and I think you are a good candidate. I'm a big, lanky guy too. Looks like you outweigh me by about 4 pounds. I'm looking for a pal to share my big, fenced-in yard with. I don't like being out there by myself. We already had our home visit and were approved.
So, you are a counter surfer too, eh? Forget the bread, Jack. I have a silent method for making pizza disappear!! When can I meet you?

Hi Jill - I've put an inquiry in to check on the status of your application. It might be due to the fact that you live a little further away - we have less volunteers in that area that can do home visits. You can always email mlrrhomevisits@yahoo.com to check on the status of your application. Thanks!

Blackdog-I've made note of your interest. Thanks!

We just had our home visit this morning and we are also interested in Jack. Is he still available?

[agordon720]

I just got word that Jack is still available for adoption. The family he was meeting ended up not being the right match. I know a lot of people were interested in Jack, so please confirm if you are still interested, as I believe some of you have already adopted, etc.

Hi Just had my home visit on Sunday, September 11, 2011. Would like to meet Jack. DMewes

Hi DMewes: We have not received the home visit report yet from the volunteer that did your home visit. As soon as we get that you'll be able to meet dogs!

Hi Talked to my lady that did our home visit on 9/11/11. Our family is very interested in Jack. We would be very interested in being able to go and visit Jack. Is there anyway we could speed up the process?
I called her back and told her of our interest. Thanks for any help! DMewes

Hi DMewes - I checked on your application just now and we have not received the home visit report from the volunteer that did the home visit for you. Once that is received and sent to the MLRR board and it is approved then you can meet some of the Labs. Unfortunately, we need this crucial piece of the application process before we can move forward. Thanks!

Thompson/Deutsch is still interested in meeting Jack. We have 2 kids - 13 and 14 - but they are both 6' tall so animals don't really perceive them as kids. We have a fenced yard. Is Jack a barker?

Thompson/Deutsch Family - I have your interested noted from the last post! We have a waiting list of about 35 families currently and since most meetings do end up occurring on the weekend it draws out the process. The waiting list is determined by the date you were approved to adopt and that is how we keep things fair. Also, just because someone expresses interest in a dog on the forum does not mean they will get to meet that dog. There's a great post about how the adoption process works on the forum under the "General" topic here: http://www.midwestlabrescue.org/forum/v ... ?f=3&t=193
One family gets called about one dog at a time and they have to make a decision before we move on to the next family. If you have any more questions please let me know! Thanks and I promise we are working very hard behind the scenes to find you the perfect match for your household!
