🐾 Are you ready to welcome an amazing furry friend into your life? Before diving into the world of pet adoption, remember this sparkling gem of wisdom: fill out that adoption application first! 🙌 You see, at our cherished PAW Animal Shelter, a small team of just four dedicated souls is working tirelessly in a high-intake environment, always aiming for a No Kill policy. It's a labor of love, but it means they might not have the time to answer every single question right away. And that's why the application is so important! When a potential adopter shows genuine interest by completing the application, it opens the door for a conversation about whether they’re a good match for the adorable animal of their dreams. Picture this: You’ve found that perfect pet and then—oh no!—someone else swoops in and adopts them while waiting for a reply. That’s the heart-wrenching reality that can happen if an application isn’t filled out promptly! 💔 If you've applied and haven’t heard back in 7 days, don’t hesitate to reach out again. Sometimes, life gets busy, and emails can slip through the cracks. The intention is never to leave questions unanswered, but rather to find that special connection between pet and person! Remember, your dream pet is just an application away. 💖 So, be proactive, apply today through the Buddy App, and take a step toward creating furry memories that will last a lifetime!
