It does make sense. I just wanted you to know if you really wanted her that the travel part would be doable. I don't think I would want to go to New Orleans either being it is so unsettled.
I just had a thought...does anyone know for sure that they WILL do out of state adoptions? some places wont.

When you own a Rattie....you KNOW you are in your right mind 
THE MEANING OF RESCUE
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm... Yes there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

She is adorable! Hopefully she will find a forever home soon, but she is safe until that happens. If you click on the link in her petfinder description, you'll see she is not at a shelter, but with a rescue organization already
She isn't at a shelter per say but a rescue so they might be open today.

I just called, they are closed, sounded like a shelter in the background on the recording. I did leave my name & number & said I was interested in Ladybug  |

I could be mistaken, but I don't think this girl is at risk for losing her life. She looks to be in a foster home in MI and is just waiting to be adopted. They have spayed her and in the process of getting her shots.
This makes me think she does not need a rescue group. Let me know if I missed something in the string =)

| I have called twice now & all I get is a recording asking you to leave your name & number,which I have and they would promply return your call, which they haven't . The background noise of the recording sounds like a animal shelter. |

It could be an animal shelter that has some in foster homes. I read their website and they say the are an alternative to the typical shelter.
She is so darn cute, maybe they forgot to remove her from the web. |

| I've emailed them; hopefully they'll respond. Although I don't recall reading it specifically, it seems that they may only adopt to "in-area" families, but I can't say for certain. I did ask in my email to them if that was the case. |

I looked on their site and didn't see anything about NOT adopting out of state but, I could have missed it. I just wish someone would call me back & let me know something...they may not be set up to make long distance calls either  , I will just keep trying I guess.

This is what is said on the site:
After the initial contact and determination that the pet might be a good match for your family, the foster home will contact you and arrange a visit so you can interact with the pet in a home atmosphere. This is one of the best ways to observe how your new friend interacts with you and your family. If it is determined that you ARE the right fit for the animal, adoption papers will be prepared, the fee paid, and arrangements will be made to transfer the newly adopted pet to you. |

I just spoke with a lady by the name of Nancy. They wont let me adopt her because I am so far away  but, she did assure me Ladybug was safe & would be kept in her foster home until she finds her forever home  .
Posted By DaisysMom on 02/18/2008 12:33 PM
Just look at little Ladybug. Is she not the cutest wittle thing ever?????
Meet Ladybug ,born the first week of September, this little gal is full of life. She and her litter mates spend hours playing, exploring unchartered territory and keeping watch over those fury felines. When it's time for a nap there's no place she'd rather be then snuggled up on a lap.
Ladybug will do best in a busy household; another young dog her size to play with would be just grand. She is doing very well with housetraining but will need someone who is home most of the time so she can perfect this skill.
Rat Terriers are energetic little dogs; they typically love to dig and are good climbers. Ladybug will need a fenced in yard but should not be left for long periods unattended.
Ladybug will probably weigh 8-10 lbs when full grown and due to her current small size, she will not be placed in a home with very young children. She would make a great companion for older children and a welcome addition to any home that is somewhat familiar with the traits of a terrier.
Ladybug has had two of her three puppy shots, has been spayed and will be ready for her new home around the end of December.

This was the email response I received:
Hi Tracey,
Ladybug is still available, and we do adopt out of state, to IL or IN or other nearby states on a fairly regular basis. We do want to meet the family here at adoption time, no cargo flights or 2nd parties. We currently have a family very interested in her, but so far, no adoption. Thanks for your interest,
