I personally know how the spca and animal rescue shelters work, both of mine came from them. i just happened to walk into the spca an hour after jj first came in and a friend told me he would be perfect for me and he was. i got my application in first so i got him when he was available two days later, but only because i was first one there. my second on i got from an animal shelter and i had called when i first saw her in the add on internet. they told me that it was first come first served the day she was available. i went down that day to see her and loved her, but told that someone else was interested in her and that i should try to be there at least an hour or more before they opened the next day, well i got there at 6:45am on a very snowy day. they were due to open at 10am, i waited. at 9:45 an officer came out and said they were not going to open because of all the snow, the city was shut down. i went home but was there at 6:30 the next morning, thank goodness my neighbor had a four wheel drive to get around. at about 8am the workers showed up and at about 8:15 another car drove up, it was the other people interested in my dog. thank god i got there before them, the workers told them we had been there two days in a row waiting so they left and the workers ended up letting us have her an hour early. my hubby and jj just loved her when we got home, we now have had her for 3 months and its great. like everyone said, when its right it will happen and you will be thrilled with the results.
