[quote=Anonymous]NP here, and we just adopted our rescue a few weeks ago (granted, he was 2 YO, so not a puppy) through Lost Dog - this is our family's first dog.

I emailed the foster parent of the dog I was interested in (found him online), and they offered for us to come and meet the dog in their home, which I did, without the kids (didn't even tell the kids that I was going). Once I saw the dog and got some of his history, and seemed like a good fit size, energy, personality wise, etc., I filled out the adoption paperwork and took it to the next adoption event (the foster family told me when and where that would be, and that they would show up with the dog).

We did get there right at the beginning and were able to meet with someone from Lost Dog to do the in person interview before the 'main event' even started (they were waiting for a truck from the rescue to bring all their dogs in). Once the interviewer was done (took about 10 minutes or so, and our whole family was there at this point), we just needed to sign some forms and go over the paperwork, and we took the dog home. So it really wasn't that complicated or cumbersome. Not sure if it's any different with puppies, but wanted to share my experience. Good luck with your adoption OP - we love our dog![/quote]
