ADOPTION………………………..?

Ok, so I asked a question about ‘references’ yesterday, and im wondering do they call your ‘references’ straight away while you are at the shelter? or do they call after you leave?
I have a VERY well looked after Pointer already that I will bring to meet the new dog, so maybe they will see I am a responsible owner lol?
Do ALL Shelters insist on having references? I honestly don’t have anybody to put:( What questions will they ask my references?
Oh and remember I live in Australia.
lol thanks, but I don’t have my neighbours number, and my manager ect. don’t know anything about my dog!

probably after you leave, or while youre in a different room, but it all just depends on the place. I’m pretty sure they wont call while youre sitting right there though because that would be awkward. and most places call your vets office, and check to see if your past pets have had all their shots on time and stuff, so its kind of a big task of a thing they go through

MOST shelters ask for references. just put a family member, a landlord, a manager from work, or a neighbor.

even if they see you have a well taken care of dog, they’ll probably still call your references. hahaha it shouldnt be a big deal though, they just want to be sure the dog is going to the right owner, and going to a home that will be the right fit for it.

oh and sooooo cool you live in australia. if i wouldnt have to leave my entire family in the united states, Austrailia would be where I’d go.

    it depends on how busy the shelter is.

  2. Depends on the agency. Most likely when your not around but before they give you your pet.

  3. it also depends how thorough the shelter is. They may get a good feeling about you and not even bother with the references.

  4. USUALLY 1-4 DAYS AFTER YOU TELL THEM UR REFERANCES THEY CALL YOU

  6. they will probably do it when your not around. they will probably ask questions like"how does he treat his other dog", or "does he get mad easily"?
    good luck
