Abandoned Angeles Cocker Spaniel Rescue

My experienced with Abandoned Angels was very frustrating. I saw and fell in love with one of the dogs on their site, Sherbert. I submitted an adoption application and was approved, and spoke to the rescue coordinator several times on the phone.
They told me Sherbert was not available (no explanation), and told me that another dog would be a good fit. I read about the dog and was so excited to meet him. However the next time I called I was told he had been adopted by someone else.
This kept happening – the owner would promise us a dog, we would get ready to go and meet/​take the dog home, and then someone else would be given it. At one point we had actually managed to meet a dog, and were told we had to wait 5 days until he had seen a vet and groomer – the very next day he was listed as available on their website. Heartbreaking.
Eventually I got sick of being jerked around and I applied with a different cocker rescue. Within three weeks I had applied, been interviewed, had a home inspection, and been approved to adopt the dog I fell in love with. He has been with me for almost a year now and is my best friend.
Out of curiosity I checked on the website today and guess what – Sherbert is still «available.»

I found an abused cocker with a wire around It’s neck last month.
The dog was covered in large dread lock type mats and stunk like a sewer.
I found an emergency groomer, whom I paid $ 200 to come to my house at 9pm. She groomed the little guy until 1 in the morning.
My partner and I also brought the dog to an emergency Vet in Brooklyn whom said the dog had no microchip but did not need emergency medical attention.
Over the course of the next few days we emailed and called every shelter/​rescue organization that we could find within the greater NYC area.
Abandoned Angels responded right away and kept in touch over the next few days. They said they had room for him and we could bring him by that weekend.
They were responsive, accommodating and they kept in touch after we left the dog with them. They let us know that he was successfully neutered and is now in a loving foster home with the potential for adoption.
They even sent us a picture of the dog with his new family.
I would definitely recommend this organization. They truly care about the well being of the dogs they are adopting.
