Will we be good enough?

This is a picture of “Betsy” a Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd mix.

Paige and I have been looking to rescue a dog for the last three weeks and this cutie was an immediate, “She’s the one!”

I’ve never adopted a dog before.  I thought you just show up, pay the adoption fee and save a pup’s life.  Boy, was I mistaken. In order to adopt her you must submit an application online where it goes through a pre-approval process.  Then you arrange for a home visit, your references are checked, FBI background scan is performed, you give up some blood samples and then a pledge of your next born child if you don’t take care of the pup.  And then you pay them $300 for this.

Oh God.  While I appreciate the rescue shelter’s diligence, we are at the edge of our seats!  Will we be good enough?
