I am extremely interested in giving Emily a home. We have adopted several rescue dogs in the past and found them sweet, kind to have a permanent home. I lost my beloved Chloe on Oct 27, 2023 and she was a rescue and extremely sweet in every way. Not only do I and my husband miss her more than words can express, but also our Tucker who is a labradoodle and was her sibling.
I will also complete your application noted on Facebook in case this form does not transfer directly to you at SOAR.
Please give my application serious consideration regarding Emily’s placement. I can assure you she will receive love, care and considered as the fourth member of our family.
Thank you
Hi Billie,
I will touch base with our rescue director, she has Emily.
Thank you for reaching out!
Melissa,
SOAR volunteer
