Join the club. They charged my account initially $39.95 (which was pending), when the charge went thru, it went up to $40.35 and then another charge of $1.00, for what I do not know. Mind you, when my daughter started the process of getting the 5-day free trial, she filled out her info (including MY debit card info, man was I mad), when she went to the next step, the webpage wouldn't download. She never even got the chance to hit submit. So she gave up on it, never used it because she couldn't get it to work, assumed there was no need to cancel since nothing seemed to go thru. Well the charges showed up in my checking account! Attempts to contact via email went unanswered, tried calling and was put on hold for so long I gave up. I'm sure they arranged it to be that way. I had to cancel my debit card so they couldn't charge it any further and now I must go thru the tedious process of disputing the charges, not to mention being totally inconvenienced not being able to use my debit card, which I use for everything, until my new one arrives. And now their website is down for maintenance so you can only call them...but you'll wait until the cows come home before they take you off hold, if they ever do. They are a total rip off and NO ONE should use their service.
I understand where the animal rescue organizations are coming from in the sense that they want to be sure that they the animals go to a good home where number one, they can afford the care of the dog, and can safely shelter and confine it. When other pets are already in the home, they want to ensure that they will get along BEFORE the adoption so that the animal won't be further traumatized by being returned. Some organizations won't allow you to adopt a dog if you don't have a fenced yard, or a cat if you are going to let it go outside, you must agree to making it an indoor cat and actually sign a contract. I don't agree that a cat would be very happy living indoors it's entire life. Dogs can be kept without a fenced in yard as long he is walked twice a day and have an outdoor run available for short periods of time and plenty of interaction with the owners. Cats should be allowed to be indoor/outdoor cats as long as you don't live near a busy road or live in the country. These organizations can be so strict, that people give up even trying to adopt from them and the animals suffer because of it, so many could have gone to a safe loving home, but instead they'd rather have them live in a cage for God knows how long, then to relax some of the unrealistic requirements they have. I know I wouldn't be happy living in a cage, I'd rather be put down. I have two dogs and two cats...all rescues. I was fortunate enough to have a couple of acres of land and 1 1/2 of it fenced in for my dogs. I told them the cats would be indoor cats, but I only said it to apease them. One place said that they would stop by and check on the dog I adopted from them, but no one ever came, not once, and it's been 5 years. My cats are happy indoor/outdoor cats that are always in the house before I go to bed and that's they way it should be.
