For anyone else reading this post or looking, just a friendly reminder that rescues are usually all volunteer based organizations, running on "skeleton" crews as it is. The volume of rescuing happening due to shelter closures is skyrocketed as is the volume of applications. The rescue that we have been helping with has almost 1, 000 applications in the cue. Be patient, mention dogs by name that you're interested in on your application and just overall have grace with the folks trying to help these pups!
