text: My wife and I had the exact experiences as everyone else and we are kicking ourselves for not reading these reviews before we adoptednnLike everyone else when we first applied to adopt Moondoggies could not be quicker in responding to us and setting up a meeting We came all the way up from San Diego because we had been searching for a Great Dane puppy to adopt The lady we met was very nice and seemed totally legit She said we looked like good people and if we wanted we could adopt the dog on the spot She also said that the adoption included having the dog spayed and chipped She even offered us a great deal on getting the dog stomach staplednnHow could we say nonnWe signed the contract and the check and we were told that they would be calling us to make sure we got the vaccinations done and to schedule an appointment for the spay and chippingnnAnd like everyone else here We never heard from them again We have called the lady we talked to we called the number on the sight we wrote emails and even tried to reach them on Facebook For awhile I really thought that they were just busy and felt bad for them because they are run by volunteersnnBut what made me realize that they were a scam was when I posed as a person who was interested in adoption and was put right through to someone Her tone immediately changed when I told them that we were looking to get our dog spayed and chipped She was very short with me and said that she was away from the office and would have to look at our file Then she would call us back She did notnnUpdate Feb nMoondoggies contacted us after I posted this review and finally offered to have our dog spayed and chipped However after not hearing for them for months we have already had our dog spayed and chipped I was glad to finally hear from them but it was sad that I had to right a bad review in order to for them to finally contact me I truly hope that they are a real rescue place and not a puppy mill or a scam I hope that they make some serious changes in the way they do business
