Please remind yourselves that everyone working here are volunteers, that being said this is their second or third job. After you fill out the $10 application fee you have to get approved for a home visit. I followed up about my home visit once a day until they came about 5 days later. After that they send you a dog log every Tuesday and Friday. The website is not up to date so you have to go off of these logs. As soon as you see a dog you like call the contact number. They'll talk you through your application to find out if you're a good fit. If you said you don't want a puppy and you call about a puppy, chances are you won't be getting a puppy. I saw two dogs within a weeks time after my application was approved. Follow up with them about your application and you should be ready to go in no time.
