Review of Pet Pal Animal Shelter

Very disappointing. I drove a little over 2 hours to get here. I was very interested in a 6 month old puppy, then I had called the day before I went & was told someone else had been interested & I asked if they have filled out any adoption papers or made any leap to show they were very interested or cared. They told me no. Then I was also told they don't do any holds, so I drove & took off work to hopefully take this sweetie to a forever home, & I get there & tell them which dog I am there to see, & they tell me they are holding for someone else to come see, & I asked "I thought you didn't do holds?" They told me we don't unless you're coming from a far distance. Which this I was NEVER told, & I said if that's the case, I could have done the same, considering I drove WAY farther than these other people. & they already have 3 other huge dogs. Now as they told me, she is very skiddish & needs all the attention she can get, I don't have any animals of my own, & I would have given her the attention & love she needs. Then the other thing that ticked me off was I never got a chance to see her, only behind the cage in the sheltered room. And not to mention, when the other people brought the other 3 dogs in for a meet & greet, she was very scared, & I think the thing that made me heartbroken the most was, even though they told me she was skiddish of people, she tried to come to me & one of the lady workers there was very snobby, honestly I think she adopted the dog out just to piss me off, & I wanted to prove her wrong with the whole thing. But as for the whole thing, I'm still very heartbroken & this happened Friday June 30th. & also to end this, they also told me she had been adopted out & brought back 2 times already, now wouldn't you think they would be a little more careful & actually look into who they are adopting this sweet baby out to? I had my money in hand, my legal papers of my land, & was prepared to take this beautiful girl to a loving home. Still very upset & disappointed. I also asked if she was to get brought back by any means, can I get a call? The lady snapped at me & said "no, we don't do things like that! Now that also pisses me off, cause they are supposed to be about the animals, if an animal doesn't like someone, why would you let them adopt them? Animals have very good instincts. They can sense the good & bad in people. But if I were her, I would have done a meet & greet with who ever was interested & seen who the dog liked the most. This is what this place is about right? The animals?
