Over a year ago I applied to adopt a Cocker Spaniel named Rusty and spent several hours filling out a lengthy application that included my vet's name and phone number for a reference. I never got a response from Petfinders.com as to whether or not the dog had been adopted or otherwise. Just logged on Petfinders and saw that Rusty had been adopted... A WHOLE YEAR LATER! Hallalujah! It seems like Petfinders would have the common decency to let you know whether or not your application had been accepted or not... at least within a couple of days after spending all that time filling out the application... also, lol, after a year the dog has been adopted so they could have at least informed everyone that applied for adoption of the dog so we would all know that the the animal had finally found a home. And now, I've done it again for another Cocker Spaniel and the same thing happens... I've decided the best thing for me is to find a breeder and buy a puppy. So sorry it has to be this way... I've owned six Cockers in the last 20 years... love the breed and am an excellent care giver for these dogs and would rather adopt a dog in need of a good home rather than start from scratch. What is wrong with you people?
