Debbie, Here is an email I received from Carla w/ your organization. The communication mishap is a big one here.
First is my response to her email to me. Let me know what you think.
Carla,
Forgive me if I misunderstood your email below. I highlighted it in red. I am a very caring and loving person, not self serving as you state below. You do not seem like a very nice person making acquisition's like this w/o even knowing me. I was just trying to help.
Denise

Denise, I don't understand what you are talking about. You ask if you can foster to adopt, but you meant exactly what we don't want....foster till you find the dog that you want??? What we don't need is people that are just self-serving. You could have adopted without ever fostering Denise. All you had to do was get the fence up and that was for adopting or fostering, but YOUR stipulation has talked yourself right out of getting one of our dogs. At the time, fostering was only an invitation, not the only way you could adopt a dog. Good luck to YOU.
Hi Denise. Yes you can, provided you are able to foster after your adoption. It takes a lot of our time to train and work with people on what to do and we don't just want people who join just for the sole purpose of fulfilling their own requirement of adoption. So if you can
commit for at least a year, yes....but you do have to get your yard enclosed still. Let me know if you want to join or if I can answer any other questions. I am attaching some reading material for you and hopefully it will clear up some things and help you decide.
