Heard back from the Lancaster Shelter volunteer. Although they will not hold her for me - they feel pretty confident that she will still be available when I return from California. She is in no danger of being PTS thank god - so when I return I will call and see if she is still unadopted. If she is still there - I will make an appointment to go see her and hopefully it will all work out. If she has been adopted - then I will go to the Buffalo Animal Shelter and see what they have.

Either way - I am going to be a playmate for myself and Leo!!!
