| Advice needed please urgent We are about to adopt from rvadoptions.com, based in Arkansas. Puppy set to fly tomorrow, but have not sent money yet. Doing last minute research and stumbled across the web site rvadoptions.org that tells horrible things about their rescue. It seems to have been created by a group of your members who adoptions through rvadoptions.com and got very badly used. They created this other web site (the .org one) to try to tell their story and help people like me. I tried to email the yahoo address they'd posted but it bounced back to me. Can anyone help me? Has anyone heard of them--bad or good? The principal is Nicole Chastain. We're in love with our puppy we're supposed to adopt. but we can't go through something like is described. We're still emotional wrecks from losing our first "baby" (a yellow lab mix) in Aug. and still have his bills to pay off. Please help. |

| My suggestion is: post another thread putting 'rvadoptions' or 'Nicole Chastain's' name in the title area. That should get someone's attention. You might also want to put a thread in the 'breeder, groomer, or vet review' section. Surely at one of these places you will have someone that knows something. I guess I would be very leery of sending money unless you are very confident. Rarely is it recommended to adopt a puppy unless you actually see the puppy and where it is kept. There are so many scammers out there and bad breeder (back-yard-breeders and puppymills) that it is difficult to know for sure about a puppy unless you meet the breeder. If you check out the sick section of YT you will see the results of poor breeding practices. It is very sad. Good luck on your choices. ~Joanne~

| I know nothing about this rescue. But I ran into a similar situation with another rescue, I had already paid the deposit when I started researching. I ended up backing out at the last minute because I couldnt take the risk and while I had fallen in love with the pictures I knew I would only fall deeper in love with the real deal. I had a bad feeling and I couldnt get over it. I ended up finding my little girl a week later and it was certainly meant to be. Do what you feel is right, if something feels off maybe you need to listen to your gut and keep looking. |
