That bookmark for the springer spaniel rescue site had been there for years and I was a regular visitor. It didn't occur to me that I could fill out the application, get approved and then just wait until I saw the springer of my dreams. So when Jenny popped up it was disturbing to find out she might actually go to someone else.
The process involves forms, interviews, feedback from your vet and sometimes a home visit. The telephone interview was actually enjoyable and the person that called was very friendly. We talked about dogs until the cows came home! She told me that since we were in a remote area, I could just send in photos of our home and yard where the dog would be hanging out. We went back and forth several times trying to get the vet's form sent in and finally everything was all together. The results then went on to someone in Springer HQ for approval.
In the meantime, Jenny was moved to another foster home, farther away.
