yes we got a lab mix from the shelter years ago..she was about 6 or 7 months old...and adorable with those eyes....wanting us....and they had a policy..that animals cant be adopted out till they are there a certain amount of days...it wasnt her day yet..but they wouldnt let you pick ahead...so I recall the day she was gonna be free to adopt....the kids were in school and I was at work...

hubby was sooo concerned others would be there for her, he was there 20min early for open....the lady was so touched....Sandy is our family dog...and she was a keeper...

good luck with the doggie...and hugss tahnks for sharing, sarah
