I e posted a few times now (sorry) with regards to adopting a rescue dog, and we think we’ve found one that is a good match.
We are off to the animal sanctuary today where she is based as it’s an open day, and we want to get a feel of the place (and see the dog in the flesh obviously)
The only thing is, we go away 22nd June for ten days, about seven weeks away. The issue would be that if we adopt her now (all being well with homecheck etc) then just as we are getting used to her and vice versa in the home, we’d have to find somewhere for her to stay while away, then bring her home again. Very confusing for the dog, and not very consistent.
So the request we had/have was that if all went okay with the adoption, then would they keep her in the sanctuary until we get back?
We are happy to pay a larger donation upfront than required to cover her stay there, and visit her regularly before actually going away.
We don’t have any family to look after her, as other family members will be away at the same time.
Please tell me if this is being cheeky (doggy IABU) or do we wait until we get back?
She may have gone by the time we get back, but we appreciate that’s the chance we take.
Any advice appreciated, thank you.

The doghouse
Do you think this request is cheeky, or should I sit on my hands until after my hols?
