The folks who call, choking back tears because they lost their companion of "x" years, who are JUST desolate because their arms are empty get a puppy without further questions. (If they did right by their last dog for "x" years, that, to me is the kind of home I want a pup to land in). I know the people you are referring to, had an e-mail from them and I didn't need to know any more. I don't have anything now, but if I HAD had a boy for them, he'd of been theirs.
