Hi there
I haven't posted in a while, so I hope everyone here and your kitties are doing well ...
I applied to adopt a min pin from a rescue. Now I am having second thoughts, because I just don't think I'm ready to add a dog to my life..My SO was working from home for a really long time, and was at the time I applied, however he was just assigned to a project in CT, so he travels there for 3 days out of the week. When he isn't here, I don't usually stay at our apartment..I stay at a friends house or my parents, because I don't like being by myself..
So anyway I think my routine is just not consistent enough to have a dog. I also work full time.
This rescue is sooo great. I spoke with one of the people who screens applicants and she was so nice. She checked my vet and personal reference, and now the next step is to do a home visit. But since I've reconsidered, I really want to put my application on hold, I want to get a dog from them possibly next year. I've had several calls from them asking to schedule the home visit but I haven't returned them yet because I don't know what to say.
Since I know a lot of you are involved in rescues, maybe you can tell me- would it be considered a red flag if I just withdrew my application or asked them to put it on hold??? How should I approach this?
