That's a real bummer @avclub-42763705844bf5e2af4abd6c898f8dcb:disqus  - I'd say try a different group, or head down to your local ACC (animal care and control) - if it was the travel thing that was the issue, I doubt ACC would turn you down.

I volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter in NYC (but I also love dogs, which is why I read the article), and we have pretty high standards as far as who we'll adopt to- so much so, we've angered our fair share of potential adopters by rejecting their applications (big issues are regular medical care & declawing, for those…

From what I read of the book (which wasn't much), it seemed like it was taking itself far too seriously - I got no sense of campy fun, which is precisely what you expect from something called "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter".
