Now you can give more time to Ottis and the other dogs, and your new guide when you get it.Jennyhttp://ojdoherty.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662648.post-40017618490614768612012-10-04T00:00:59.771+01:002012-10-04T00:00:59.771+01:00Does the rescue do exit interviews?

Perhaps you could mention some of the communication frustrations you are having... working with volunteers, I can sympathize with well intentioned but misinformed volunteers. The info is inconsistant or full of holes. By highlighting some things you felt might have slipped through the cracks could actually make the place a better run organization! If no interviews like that happen, perhaps writing off an email or a letter to the board of directors or their lead manager. If they have some key people in place like that of course.Love Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662648.post-56876822794167990712012-10-03T15:20:48.403+01:002012-10-03T15:20:48.403+01:00I'm so so sorry fostering didn't work out ...I'm so so sorry fostering didn't work out for you. you have such a good outlook on everything that happened.<br /><br />The volunteer who is our contact doesn't foster at all but reviews applications and calls references. You are so right that there are so many ways to volunteer.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear more about agility. I wanted Nora to be a therapy dog but the cost involved to get her certified is outrageous!<br /><br />DarciThe Webstershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077225752755288881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662648.post-58871094412898284742012-10-03T13:21:46.356+01:002012-10-03T13:21:46.356+01:00Oh man!

Some rescue organizations are better than others, that is for certain and it is so hard to tell when you talk to the people because they are all very well intentioned.<br /><br />But the safety and comfort of the resident dogs is the number one consideration and it sounds like a bad situation. Heck, even Roscoe wasn't happy about it.<br /><br />Don't fret. I am sure Flick will find a suitable situation. <br /><br />Now, you sure have me scratching my head over how you manage agility. You'll have to explain that one.<br /><br />Mango MommaDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.com
