how long did the adoption process take for you?

how strict was the shelter in approving your application? does it depend on the shelter? do you know if they contacted your references, vet, employer, landlord??
any other information on adopting is appreciated!
thanks! |
I got Chance from a shelter (they had all types of dogs - not just yorkies).
There was pretty much no process, picked him out filled out papers w/my info and he was mine.
I paid $62.50 for him and as far as how old, we are not sure of that. We believe he is under 4 yrs of age.
I know that many of the "Yorkie Rescue's" are very strict on who they adopt out too, but they are just trying to look out for the dog and don't want to get them back in worse shape then they left!
To you for thinking about rescuing though!!!
