Below is the message we received from who claims to be an interest party: Hello Nickolas, I'm Kenneth, I saw your post on Rescue Me. I'm interested in adopting ( Stevie ). Let me know if the dog is still available for adoption. Waiting to hear back from you. Thanks Nice having you here, what's the health records check and how long you had Stevie?
