Peanut's Place Small Breed Rescue /Colleen would not allow me to retrieve my pet 5 days after I surrendered him, claiming he'd already been adopted when I could visibly see on her website that she was still accepting applications for my pet. Colleen lied to me, then threatened to file harassment charges and a restraining order because I posted to her site looking for my pet of 6yrs. Internet

I made the very difficult decision of surrendering my pet due to my schedule, which has now been adjusted and was no longer an issue when I told Colleen I'd like to come pick up my dog. Surrendering him was a regrettable mistake. My dog is loved, was well cared for and in great health with a full medical history , which I gave to Colleen. When I told Colleen, over the phone, I'd like to retrieve my pet she said, aww he's already been adopted (last night). The same day, on her Facebook page, I could visibly see a photo of my dog that'd been posted about 6:40pm of the night he'd supposedly been adopted with a caption that read he'd been groomed and was awaiting dental and a foster home.

The following day, I could see, via Colleen's comments under my dogs photo, that Colleen was still accepting applications for him. Colleen lied to me and deleted my posts, looking for my pet of 6yrs and subsequently attempted to bully me into not trying to find my pet and shame me for surrendering him. All via text message. My dog does not need a new home, as he was not in danger or neglected. So why not allow me to retrieve him? I even offered to pay any expenses. Adopted or not, my dog is not gaining anything from being in a new home. He's actually losing here because the healthiest option for my dog or any dog is to remain in the home —where he feels safe, is comfortable and familiar.

Extremely unprofessional, insensitive and dishonest organization. Take your business elsewhere.
