We found a beautiful beagle on Petfinder.com. We emailed Furry Friends of the Foothills and recieved a quick reply. We told them what we were looking for and they answered our questions and told us she would be a good fit. They suggested we apply. We did. They set up the home inspection.

She is our of the area so they had a volunteer that would come to meet us. She called and asked if it was okay to bring her children. I said yes. Her children are young and they were all over the place. They were super cute but I was able to talk to one of her children more than her. It was not very professional at all. Again, the volunteer seems like an awesome woman. But that wasn't a situation for a home inspection. When she left, we found things all over the house. She had taken her son to the bathroom and left our water running. The kids were hyper from being in the car and going different directions. This wasn't what I expected. One even forgot his socks here. I felt bad for her. They should never put her in that situation.

The same day of the inspection, we recieved an email saying that they would love for us to meet her and take her home. I said yes. I told my husband and children. We rearranged all of our schedules so that we could all go together. I sent an email asking the when's and where's. Their reply back was that they were going to do a home inspection with someone else and would let us know the next day. They next day came and went. The meet up day came and went. No communication. The day after we were supposed to meet her, I send an email asking if we should continue our search. No reply. The day after that, on their Facebook page they post that she had been adopted and they had blocked me from commenting. My children were upset. They didn't even bother apologizing or telling us they would keep our criteria in mind in case other rescues become available. This was heart breaking. We were so excited and has spent a couple of weeks communicating with them.

They are very unprofessional. They obviously don't know what they were doing. We really didn't care about that. We just wanted the dog to be a part of our family. It's not her fault they don't know what they are doing. With that being said, I'm glad she found a home. I hope it works out for them and wish them all the best.

My advise? Go to a high kill shelter for a rescue instead of Furry Friends of the Foothills. If you do fall in love with one of their rescues as we did... Don't get your hopes up until the pet is with you.
