    OP, I think that you must remember that many rescues are run on a shoestring, are up to their eyes, are faced with emergency cases, may need to put money to vet fees instead of phone credit, may have internet probs etc etc etc. I don't know EGAR but can see from her posts on here and other sites that she works extremely hard at this.
    A week is not all that long when you consider the long years ahead that you will have with a new dog.
    True, I'd probably be climbing up the walls with anticipation waiting to hear if I had been successful but I think I'd be inclined to give the rescue the benefit of the doubt. Even if I was getting pissed off waiting, I think that I would keep that between the rescue and myself. I feel it's inappropriate to be giving out about an ongoing process in a forum such as this.
    BTW, I noticed from the link on your profile page that you seem to have gotten a puppy during the week. Did you not want to wait or are you still hoping to adopt Dodger? It would be a shame if you have given up on him already

    As I already said, i understand how they operate and have no doubt that Egar does great work. As i already said I mentioned it here because it started here and I dont think its inappropriate.
    I wanted a dog two weeks ago and was looking for one to buy and it was suggested here that I might consider a rescue dog, so I thought why not. Dodger looks like a nice dog and I had no problem traveling to get him but the wait just got too long, I got offered a pup on Thursday and took her instead.

    FYI - There is a reason Sarah has not been online or taking calls.

    Shame on the people taking swipes on this thread. You never know what is going on in someone's life.

    Right, so exactly 4 days after someone wasted their time doing a home visit you got a puppy elsewhere and have been on here since moaning about them not getting in touch with you. What reason would they have to be contacting you exactly? :rolleyes:

    They only wasted their time because it wasnt followed through.

    What reason ? maybe you should read the thread.

    Like I said, there is a reason you've not had contact from her.

    You've got your dog now anyway, so what's the point in continuing to post asking for updates? You're obviously just looking for a reaction and to complain about someone.

    I wasnt asking for updates, I was just stating fact.

    I agree, this is going nowhere anyway, waste of a thread.

    Mods please close this thread.
