Spent the last couple months trying to adopt a dog. I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've filled out at least 20 applications to several different shelters and rescues through this website. Out of all these places I've had one rescue check 2 of my references and no one every called my Vet's office. Many of these animals are still on the website. Shame on this website and the shelters and the rescues! If these animals are real they are not being placed in good homes! Why? Thinking about dealing with a breeder. What a disgrace!
