Oh, she's still a doll. I hope the play date goes very well. I love that she's wearing a bow!

Get pics!!!!

aww...I just got a call last night, the playdate/home visit has been moved to Sunday. I am starting to feel I will never get to meet Noelle. (sorry for whining)

Does anyone have experience with Rescues? Is it a long process? I put in my application on the 4th of February. I'm trying to be patient but I'm just so excited.

thanks for listening.

No, you get to meet her - - you just have to wait an extra day - which I too am sorry about because since I started this thread I've been hoping for a very special home for this girl. And I can't think of anything better than to be in a YT home!

Rescues can be hard - I think things can move very slow and many people get turned down for a lot of different reasons. A lot of people do not get as far as getting a home visit -- so I would say you have a very good chance, just based on how far you are in the process.

Maybe one of the members who work with a rescue could address the process after a home visit. But I would think if Noelle gets along with your fur-family & skin-family & the person bringing her doesn't see any red flags during the visit, you should be good. I would be sure to ask about the process after the visit, and how soon a decision is made. Ask if Noelle has home visits scheduled with other families too.

Do you know if the person bringing her, has any authority in making a decision about where Noelle is placed? Or if they just give a report back to the rescue?

I pray it all goes well tomorrow!

Thank you. I know it sounds silly...one more day. I guess, I got spoiled with Maximus. I met him on Wednesday and picked him up on Friday. It just seems so long when I'm so excited. I haven't heard back from the foster mom. I left her a message yesterday to please confirm a time for Sunday so I'd be sure to be home. I wanted to call her again today but don't want to seem so pushy. I'm not sure if she will be the one making the decision. It's all so new to me. That is what I was wondering, once the home visit is done, how much longer before they decide she's a good fit. It just feels like forever right now. Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to ask all those good questions.

Did the play date happen today? Was hoping to hear how it went with Noelle

[Verna]

Noelle is so cute! She is just adorable. Unfortunately, the foster mom and I agreed Maximus played a little too rough with her. Noelle is almost 4lbs but has a very small build and looks like she is 2lbs. She is very sweet and loved being in my lap. The foster mom let me know of a bigger Yorkie she is fostering, Merri. I have talked my husband into a 2nd visit, so we'll see if Maximus has a sister soon.

I'm sorry it didn't work for you both. But finding the best fit for your family & for this dear furbaby is what is so important. Good-luck with your continued search. Keep us up to date.

How does Noelle do when moving around - does she scan her head around an area more than a dog would normally do?

No, I didn't think so. She was running around and trying to keep up with Maximus. They were so funny! I don't think she knows her eye is missing. She walked around normal but did a lot of running around. She was falling asleep when her foster mom came to pick her up.
