Been searching and searching for days and weeks. Private owners don't respond to the first person, they will actually skip over you even after filling out applications. It states ask questions if you not ready to adopt and if you ready apply. Well, I was lead on 3 times. One owner stopped responding and declined my application after someone adopted when I was literally down the street from her. The second person sent me emails back and forth if I wanted to see dog before adopting and we setup meeting place for next day. A few hours before meeting got an email stating they ran into a snag with his plan to give the dog up for adoption, so he is putting off for now. I responded with aww okay, but will she be up for adoption at a later date and time and no response. Finally, I find another dog similar to what Iwas looking for filled out application and everything that was posted about the dog was what I was looking for. Go to meet owner we talked, I asked questions and was given dog the same day. However, she then ask me could I pay her cash or through Vemo. I stated no the site specifically states we have to pay through the website by you providing me the link for the adoption paperwork and then they take payment. She says okay well do you have Zelle. I still insisted hey I cannot not. She then says okay I will send you over everything when I get home. She says the only thing is car rides if you ride around too long just give him a half tablet and he will be fine, I stated ok fine. I retrieved dog and got him home. He was whining which is to be expected beings that he has to get use to a new home and environment with kids which it stated he was good with kids, already housed trained no issues. Well I called the vet the next day to find out about his health history, and about that medication and little did I know he has anxiety issues and a corneal ulcer in his left eye and was given cream to help him with that 2-week prior. Anxiety medicine has to be given to him almost daily and ulcer issue was never told to me and when I contacted owner she was like and yeah I forgot. Like what the hell? This tells me that the site fails to screen what these owners post. If I wanted a dog with these issues, I would have gotten one, so I am highly upset my kids and I cannot enjoy our dog the way we would like since he needs special care until I can find out from my vet if this is something that will go away. Glad my job offers pet insurance. I was on the verge of giving him back, but my daughter was like mom let's just keep him and take care him. He is already going through alot with being in a new home and then put him up for adoption again who's to say he will be treated good and loved. I feel so bad, but at same time he is adorable, and I want to help.
