Update:
So got a reply back to my email #1 about setting up the time for the call with person #1, saying "I'm person #2 (who sent the cryptic email) and I am now the person handling your adoption, is there a better time to call." She did not reply back to the email with the copy of the cryptic email in it, no explanation of what that email was about, such as sorry, that wasn't meant for you. I just said that time I had set up with person #1 was still good and she should still call on my cell since even if I am home my husband might be doing business on the phone. And she spelled which as witch. Normally I don't care about spelling, I suck at it, but I'm hoping its not a Freudian slip! We'll see how the phone interview goes. I hope you all are right and I'm just being paranoid. My DH did not get a good vibe from her from his brief phone conversation.

We put our old Lab down this past spring and still have out hound dog who is 8. I think he could use some companionship, and my daughter is obsessed with basset hounds, so I put in an application with a breed rescue in the area. Of course we have been discussing this for months and although I told my DH I was putting the application in he didn't listen, so when the called to tell us to let our vet know they would contact them he sounded surprised. Since then it took 2 weeks, they said one, and they finally emailed us for a phone interview time. One is 3-8p on a day I am off, and another is on a day I work. I emailed back and said after 4 would be good the one day, but they would need to call me on my cell. I am taking my DD to swim practice and it's a good time to call me there. I didn't want them to call between 3-4 because I have to get the kids from the bus stop, dog is excited when they get home, I need to check homework, you get the picture. Person who is doing interview emailed me back and said they would call me at 5.
Then I get an email from someone else at the organization, but it has the same email address, she signed a different name that says:
"See how you are starting a new email with this? Not a good idea in the long run."
OK, but WTF??? I'm assuming she is talking about the fact I said they would have to call me on cell one day and I was working another. (Not that she even put my name or Hi at the beginning, just that message.) Just to be clear, on the application I am clear I am a nurse, that I work 3-12 hr shifts, that my husbands works mostly from home, that the dog would never be alone for more than 6 hours, and that wouldn't be every day, just once a week probably. Of course she didn't bother to ask that my Husband would be home all day Friday, and my DH and DS would be home during the time other time frame. I emailed her back and said I didn't understand her email was was confused. I'm hoping she writes back. Part of me just wants to stop this whole process because I do NOT want to deal with a crazy rescue organization that is going to jerk me around, and I am getting the impression this is one of those. I mean, who of us can have an uninterrupted phone conversation when the kids first get home from school? It just pisses me off because I see how much my kids love my dog, and how much they would love another one that I want smack these people from depriving a dog of a loving home. I have had 3 dogs, two lived to be 13, I have never given a dog up, one was senior rescue. I would love another older dog. What is it with these people?
