Overall, I have had an extremely negative experience with the people running this rescue. My adopted puppy is wonderful, thankfully healthy, and the process of adopting was easy and straightforward, however Moondoggies absolutely disappeared after I paid my adoption fee and spay deposit and failed to follow through on any of their commitments. At the adoption meeting, I was told that she was microchipped already, and as soon as she was old enough to spay the rescue would arrange a spay appointment for me with one of their vets (I was told I was welcome to use a vet of my choice, but in that case I would be responsible for covering the bill).  The foster mom also said that she would follow up in a week to make sure that the adoption was going smoothly. I never heard from them. I sent many e-mails (about 5 or 6 over the course of four months) and left several phone messages asking for her microchip information and for details on how the spay would be scheduled. They also never responded when I was having difficulty activating my free ShelterCare pet insurance. Despite their lack of communication, I was still giving them the benefit of the doubt thinking that they were extremely busy, disorganized, or something of that sort. Once the month of her spay approached, I started to become much more suspicious of their behavior and decided to investigate. That is when I found these yelp reviews, and I couldn't believe that so many other adopters had the exact same experience! \n\nI talked to my friend who is an attorney, and he suggested that I notify Moondiggies that I will take them to small claims court if they do not follow through on their promises designated in the contract, our e-mails, and in our conversations with the foster mom. Low and behold, I get a response within one hour of sending that e-mail! I was very frustrated that they had been ignoring all of my previous communications efforts, but I was happy that they were offering to follow through with the spay and microchipping. Unfortunately, after one or two e-mails promising to schedule these appointments, they again dropped all communication.  I still intend to follow up with our attorney.\n\nI have wanted to give this rescue the benefit of the doubt because it is run by volunteers, but after these experiences I am very doubtful of their legitimacy. If they are in fact a rescue, they are very poorly run and are, even if unintentionally, still cheating people out of their money and not following through on their commitments. What concerns me most is that due to their shady behavior with me and so many others who have posted reviews, I am doubtful that they are a legitimate rescue. I contacted petfinder.com to see if they had any more information on this rescue, and they informed me that due to many complaints Moondoggies has been removed from their site (I definitely commend petfinder on their great mission and the responsibility they showed in investigating questionable rescues). I truly hope that this is an organization that is really trying to help homeless pets, and that these reviews will help convince them that they need to change the way that they are running their business.
