Completely Boxer Crazy
One note about phone calls . . . I know that for me personally it is much better if people call me in the evening or on a weekend when I am more likely to be home. It is tough to return so many long distance calls. Also, if you leave a message for someone in rescue, it's helpful if you can say specifically why you are calling. Many times I've had someone call and say, "Yeah, I just visited your web site and I wondered if you have any dogs for adoption?" Argh!
We do try our best to return phone calls. Some people think that calling will get them a leg up, whereas we still need them to visit our web site and submit an application just like everyone else. I remember one call I got from a lady and I kept saying, "You can visit our web site and submit an application" and she kept saying, "But I thought if I CALLED you and told you about me and my family, that would be sufficient." She made it clear that she was quite wealthy and that that should be good for something. You get a lot of interesting phone calls when you volunteer for rescue!
