read moreHi!
Thank you for the review! First off, I want to apologize if it seemed we were not being transparent or responsive in the early stages. Unfortunately due to shelter in place the adoption rates skyrocketed and we our emails blew up with applications. I personally respond to all emails and applications daily and don’t sleep until the inbox is empty. I actually decided and lined your home up before getting the recommendation from your friend, that was an added bonus! I’m glad things worked out and he is home with your amazing family. I’m sorry again for the delay in response, I will continue to do better in the future!!
