Grrrrrrr...

What the HE(ck) is going ON with those people!??

Is there a TIME differential problem here?
WHEN do you >work< as compared to thier "Operating Hours"??

CAN you go TO the Shelter an >talk< face-to-face with them??

I've dealt with a few shelters and Vet's Offices when trying to *track* a Pet Talk Rescue Pup/Kat -
and they DO act STOOOOOOOPID at times...
but if you can find someone whe really cares about your "issue" - you can often make some real progress.

And I don't mind *fibbing* a bit and telling the IN-betweeners that Mr/Mrs GoodGuy "is expecting this call"!

Somehow you need to GET to the shelter,
take a seat,
and advise the IN-betweeners that you'll *WAIT* till GoodGuy is available.

As for the Pup's Weekend in Jail...

Sign youself up as a "FOSTER Parent" - and sign him out for a Weekend Foster Trip.

But as someone just said -
Do **NOT** get nasty, mad, or mouthy with "the Staff"...
or they'll find a zillion reasons that you're not fit to have him.

Call in "sick" at work if you have to -
but I'd be spending Friday "At the Shelter".

>>> (Take a BIG bag od Treats - for the Inmates.
That makes "points" with most every shelter!
