The woman seemed very nice over the phone. I thought she had a small rescue and its rather a large sized group of dogs and puppies. I understand its Valentines Day. She may be busier then usual with her business then maybe has plans. But.. can anyone sympathize with me here?
I am an adult female who lost one of my dogs in Dec. I have a 12 yr. old dog. I am a great dog owner and lover. I had to fill out an application on line. It was brief. Basically she was going to call the Vet this morning. She knew I wanted this dog. I told her in an email the dog would be loved and are treated like family. I just thought.. it would be nice if the dog could be homed with me for Valentines Day. Because for women its a special day. That is not the reason I wanted her or anything like that. Someone before told me this woman should not be hoarding her rescues but should be tripping over her shoes to get this dog and others into a good loving home. The dog is spayed and has all its shots and is not free or cheaply handed over either. I would have to pay 225.00. She does not ask you if you could afford the dog or ask for a reference which I could have provided to her. She never phoned me today. Now.. I feel like I am getting the run around or brush off/avoidance. She called at 1:00 and she never even left a message. It does not take long to say your approved come down this week for your dog or whenever you can. Or.. to shoot me a fast email. I think this is so.. wrong. She knows how bad I want this dog. She has at least 100 pups and dogs. Its not like she is handling 4 or 5. These dogs and pups need love and to be out of the kennel atmosphere. The man who answered before said she is why people still purchase pets. That she is not trying to place this dog . I am no weirdo by far. I told her I am willing to pick the dog up. She is not getting back to me.. I am so upset please help me deal with this and understand.
This dog.. I fell in love with. She reminds me of my dog that died. I treat my dogs above and beyond what many people do.
This is so.. wrong. IF she denies me .. I am going to loose it on her big time! She is not acting like a business. Now.. I feel bad for all the applicants and dogs in her care. But.. I have to bite my tongue.. FOR NOW. Thanks

having worked for a private rescue group I can tell you that it is very very very hectic and takes more then 1 or 2 days to get the dogs out for adoption. You said she didn’t ask for references (these should have been included on the application). Our rescue use to contact all the references, the vet, and do a home visit prior to placing any of our dogs. If she is working this rescue alone without any volunteers, she is super busy. if you feel that she is hoarding her dogs, then report her to the local human society and explain why you feel she should be investigated. Most of our adoptions took at least a week or two before the adoptive family and the dog were united.
Does she run an animal shelter? Does she have a boss? Does the shelter take donations and have a board of directors? If so, inform them that this woman is hoarding animals.
If she owns and operates her own private shelter there isn’t anything you can do. If she wants to wallow in her serious emotional problems and refuse to put the welfare of the dogs before her own sentimental attachments that’s completely legal as long as she has necessary kennel permits and is taking care of them.
I feel SO bad for you. Maybe she is attatched to this dog and is having a hard time letting him go. My advice is to call non stop, e-mail a lot and go to her rescue so she can’t just ignore your call. She has no choice but to talk to you when you go up to her door. Good luck! Oh, and if you feel they are hoarding pets and the conditions are bad, call Animal Control and/or police!
You seem to consider that this lady has a duty to you, and you alone. You want a dog for valentines day???? What sort of impression do you think THAT made with the rescue centre? I’m sorry, but you whole attitude is odd. Your aggressive tone is probably the reason the lady hasn;t got back to you. I wouldn;t give you a dog either. I notice (as you asked us to read your previous posts) that you want full time work too.. so you want to take a dog and then leave it for hours and hours every day.. you are not the right person for a dog.
According to your most recent posts, you don’t have a job and are desperately looking for one. Why do you want to adopt a dog when you don’t have the means to care for it? Is this why she is holding out on you?
She sounds like a woman I met years ago. She was a groomer and had a farm and she too kept about 100 dogs on the farm. She said she was trying to get them homes but when, in reality, she would turn people down just like happened to you. You probably won’t get the dog. I suspect this woman is a hoarder who uses the excuse that she is ‘rescuing’ dogs, when in reality, she has no intention of placing any of them.
You’re ‘going to lose it on her big time’ and YOU’RE complaining about her not being business like?
Dude, chill. You’re not making your case with words like this.
If she doesn’t adopt out for holidays, it’s her perogative. If she hasn’t followed up yet, she has a job and a life, can’t do it all to your timeline. If you have issues, adopt from your local shelter, pit bull rescue or even Animal Control who gets literally thousands of these dogs a year.
This email is the sign of a true stable person:

Subject: Re: Unstable
Message: WHO THE **** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I would show your poor excuse for a human life unstable if you said that to my face.. I would beat the living crap out of you and your attitude at that time would be adjusted! I am from NJ and we take no **** from anyone! Secondly… when you moron run a business you get back to people. She had all day. Can you read moron? It takes a few seconds. She called and never left a message. Is this to you.. and judging from your stupidity .. you probably treat people and your stupid looking dog unkind. You don’t deserve a dog period. Watch what you say to people because one day hun your going to run into someone like me who is going to kick the living crap out of your sorry ***!
The irony is that you have to block me before you send it so I can’t reply, so you’re unstable AND a coward. I’m from NY honey – I’d eat your crazy @ss for breakfast
I can tell you for sure that this woman is an animal hoarder. If she has over 100 dogs, she is a hoarder. I think she may have quoted you that price thinking that you would change your mind but it is also possible that if she is a true hoarder that once she figured out that you were serious about taking one of her dogs, she changed her mind and couldn’t let the dog go. Hoarders do not part with things or animals easily.
No one can take care of 100 dogs properly. Dogs need affection and a lot of play time. One on one time with the owner. No one can do that with 100 dogs. I would call animal control first thing in the morning. You don’t know what horrible conditions that dog is living in. No one can own 100 dogs. It is illegal to own a certain amount of animals. It varies from state to state but, I would call animal control immediately. You may be saving that little dogs life and numerous others as well.
Hoarders do not believe that they are hoarders. It is a psychological disorder. There is even therapy for the problem.
Get that dog out of there as soon as you can. You can adopt him properly after he is rescued from this terrible situation.
I hope you get your dog. I know how it is to love an animal. I wouldn’t give my dog away for a million dollars. He is my baby.
So you’ve been to her house and she has 100 dogs housed there? Or does she have that many dogs in her rescue, most of which are in foster homes. Honestly, your whole question here makes you sound like an impatient, petulant child that’s threatening to hold her breath if she doesn’t get what she wants NOW. 100 dogs are a LOT to care for. If she’s running a rescue with a small network of volunteers, it’s not surprising that she’s got things to do and isn’t just sitting by the phone. Dogs have vet appointments. Applications need to be processed and references checked (not just yours). Dogs sometimes need to be moved from one foster home to another. Home inspections need to be done. It’s more work than you obviously can fathom. If you can’t wait, then find another dog. NO ONE falls in love with a picture. You have an unrealistic ecpectation of what you THINK this dog will be like based on a picture. Personally, I think this woman would be wise to dig carefully before placing a dog with you. You seem totally unstable
