Not to be a damper...but does your sister still reside at home with your parents? Here our shelters wouldn't allow her to adopt...your parents would need to complete the application...it's their home. Our "rules" are strigent and many.
That being said...ours also have a waiting list of people searching for small breed dogs. Those are contacted first when one comes into the shelter. If yours doesn't have a waiting list...I'd go as often as possible and look. The workers there will get to know you and will alert you when a possibility comes in....obviously her odds increase greatly if she is willing to consider another breed or a mix.
