This the second time I've emailed a rescue asking for more information about a dog and saying upfront that I might be able to help, and gotten no reply. The first was when a cousin of Quinn's ended up in a shelter in BC - we emailed numerous times, no reply. Finally over a week later we actually phoned BC and he was just adopted out but seriously, I had to call across the country to speak to someone?
Now I'm waiting on another rescue to email me back. It's been five days and no response - I emailed once, then a couple days send them another one just reminding them that I would like to help this dog! They are a small private rescue and only have a few dogs in their care - you'd think they could take 10 minutes to reply to emails once in 5 days. I have a feeling I'll end up having to call them, too.
My mom used to work for AC and she gets way more frustrated than I do even about this, LOL. She said even with crappy management and a ton of dogs and cats, potential homes were always given top priority. And this was before the convenience of email.
