The icon says it all... Kaos has a home!
I'm so excited that I'm bouncing all over my house...
On Sunday afternoon a potential adopter (hereafter called DogMom), who was interested in meeting Kaos, went out to Buck Hollow Kennels, where Kaos has been boarding. She really liked Kaos and so things were moving ahead pending (a) talking to Sue, the kennel manager, to see what her impressions had been, (b) getting DogMom's adoption application in and (c) assuming A & B were positive, having somebody do a home visit.
We got things out of order a bit, since I was having trouble reaching Sue (turned out her internet access was down... we had to resort to actual phone calls), and a friend of nycgadgetgirl's did the home visit for us. He runs a breed rescue group, and his reaction was that DogMom was a great candidate (and Kaos gets a nice fenced yard to play in!). So... this afternoon I got a chance to talk to Sue, who not only thinks DogMom and Kaos will be a good fit, but who's offered to drive halfway (Kaos is near Reading, PA... DogMom lives near the Jersey coast) to meet DogMom so she doesn't have to drive all the way back.
So Kaos could be home as soon as tomorrow night! DogMom has promised pictures and updates, so we can see Kaos in her new environment... and I'm sitting here all sniffly over a dog who I haven't actually met in person!
* doing Snoopy dance of joy *
Oh... secondarily... if anybody needs a good boarding kennel in the general vicinity of Reading, PA, I highly recommend Buck Hollow Kennels in Mohnton, PA. They've been great to Kaos and they're really good about working with rescue!
