I'm so happy

We had to put our English Setter down a year and a half ago. She was the bestdog a person could want. A couple of weeks ago my wife was looking at Engish Setter puppies at petfinders.com. I didn't want thr burdon of housebreaking a puppy so we searched for a young female. We found one that we wanted. Lucy is a year old and beautiful. We filled out the application on line and the process began. My vet and the two references provided were contacted. I was interviewed by phone. A home visit was to be scheduled by a local shelter. I happen to have volunteered at that shelter. We were so lighly recommended by the shelter that the home visit was waved. I was interviewed last night by the foster parents and it sounds like we will be the lucky parents of a beautiful new dog. It is my understanding that several have applied for the adoption but were found not to be suitable adoptive parents. This dog is infoster care in West Virginia. so it looks like a trip is in our future.
There are so many beautiful dogs available for adoption that I wish I could adopt more.
My SIL said that it was easier to get a home mortgage than it was to adopt a dog. These people care enough about these dogs that they want to make sure they find good forever homes. I fully agree with them. It's OSER , Ohio English Setter Rescue.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm so excited.
