    Stay away from *** unless you have a lot of time or you don't mind being heartbroken. We turned in our paperwork and pictures as required. We visited the 7 month old twice and then we still had to wait a week for ***** to email back saying that the dog needs to be near the ****** home. That wasn't part of the criteria. She offered another dog instead. I guess the other dogs don't need to be close to their ******. There is no phone number or address for this person that runs this adoption outfit on her own. I didn't trust her, so I told her that we will go elsewhere.

    This potential adopter wanted a pet named ***** - but also submitted that they wanted to meet more than 1 pet (9/16.2023 - Applied for Noodle, *************** They came into the adoption event handed in an application (1 via email and 2 more applications in person with more pets including another named ********). We then obtained their information per out rules on our adoption process (pictures of home and yard). They stated they wanted to meet multiple pets before making their decision. They then showed up at our next event and complained in front of the entire PETCO Store and complained that we were not responsive. They then stated they never wanted to meet other pets. We have their emails showing their need for multiple pets interactions. We as a not for profit, try to accommodate hundreds of applicants. As we had other applications on the dog ***** where the adopter did not want to meet any other pets, we gave this pet to another adopter that was the fit for the pet. We also Offered ************************* another pet instead and they rejected. NOTE WE HAVE ALL EMAILED Correspondence and Multiple applications from this individual showing their need to meet more than one pet.
