We had to put our Duke down at the young age of 11 due to cancer. We were looking on LRRofF for a few weeks looking for another chocolate lab. Not a puppy or a senior dog, but an adult dog. We found Whiskey who is a chocolate lab. 5 1/2 years young. We called Merrianne and she walked us through the process not letting us have any expectations, but what could happen. Which we appreciated that we were not misled. We filled out all the necessary paperwork. Then we did a virtual tour of our home to make sure it was safe for Whiskey. Some hard professional questions as we toured the property. Somethings that we would not have thought of. She then set us up with Robin, the foster mom to set a time and date to meet with her and Whiskey. Yesterday, we met them both and were we surprised what a handsome dude Whiskey was and is! And talk about polite showing himself off. LOL Well, lucky us, Robin approved us and after about an hour or so. We were on our way home with Whiskey in the back seat with my daughter. It's been about a day now and he is starting to feel comfortable in our, his home! He loves to be with someone all day and we will not leave him at home alone. I can't say enough good about Robin and Merrianne and what they do. It takes a special person to do this. Thanks to the both of you!!! Whiskey, Joline, Cindy & Walt
