You see now this would be something that would get my antennas up.

As when people do not want to do the home visit ASAP, then I think that they
are not so serious about adopting a dog from me.


Why? Most people don't know what the turnaround time is for different
rescues (it is one week on average for us), and are often caught
completely off guard when you call 3 days after they submit the
application to arrange for a HC (and then there are people who call
every person they know from the rescue every half hour to see if their
app has been processed). I'd much rather the potential adopters wait
until they're back from vacation to meet the volunteer and talk about
available dogs at that time.
