Never go there to bring a pet you cant care for or to adopt one, the lady that runs it is a miserable B***h. They always complain they need donations(they even want someone to give them a hybrid car) but yet they deny good people who want to adopt animals for one reason or another.
When we moved to florida our dogs couldnt come we hated to do it but we left them with someone to try and find a good home, they couldnt so they took them to the ark. I contacted the Ark to let them know the dogs history so they could find them a home easier. (they say they think the dogs have been kicked because if you raise your foot they cowar down) That is pure bull those dogs were spoiled worse than our kids, slept in our bed every night never left outside overnight, and surely never abused.
Once we found out we are moving back to maine i contacted them to tell them we was comming back to maine and would love to have the dogs back. They say they will have to see when the time comes. The next week i was told by a relative that the dogs were being advertised in the paper that they need a home. I contacted them again saying cant you hold them i will glaldy pay the adoption fees plus a nice donation. They say no we cant hold them, then a couple days later i find out one of the dogs had already been adopted, when they even was saying i nthere advertising they wanted both dogs to go to one person because they been together forver,(father and Daughter) So i had a relative go there and apply for the other dog, they deny her because she had a dog that was a month behind on its shots at one point.
I said ok can you send me an application they send it no problem, i fill it out and email it to them, 3 days later i call them up to see what the status of it is(says on the application it may take 24 hours) She says oh He was adopted today, I said WHAT she said yes he went to a beautiful home on Peaks Island, I didnt have time to get to your application.
I coulda reached right through the phone and strangled her. Weve had this dog since he was just a little puppy and we was all he knew, when we found out we was moving back, getting him back and the other one was the first thing that popped into our heads.
Once she found out we was comming back and wanted them back she pushed to get rid of them.
From what i know Peaks Island is off from Portland, i have no idea why someone would come all that way to Cherryfield to get a dog, especially one that wasnt pure bread. My guess it was someone she knew or something.
I wouldnt recommend anyone go to that place after the shady tactics she pulled.
Anyone here know anyone on Peaks island that adopted a dog recently, if so please tell them out story and that we would pay whatever they paid to adopt him to have him back
