Adoption... Where to begin? In about the span of three hours, maybe less... someone put their pet up for adoption.

The pet, was beautiful. I don't usually do the whole adoption thing because it never works out for me. I never get the pet or the person has a sudden change of heart. How could I forget? I posted on this board that I would be applying and in the first post they couldn't stress enough that they would wait for the perfect application so there were no deadlines. I was sure that I had this in the bag... but oh wait, their post was edited!

Oh wow. You, anonymous, are so kind. It took this person three hours to change their mind and say nevermind plz I don't want this pet. THREE HOURS.

Seriously, before you do something that you expect people to invest their time into THINK FIRST.

Lame art for pet I never had a chance of getting. I win!

Aw I'm sorry to hear that. I've only ever applied for two pets and got them both :x

I never get any apps when I put pets UFA so if I had one from you I'd adopt out to you in a heartbeat.

I really think people should wait for all interested ones to get their apps in first

Aww that sucks D; Was that art part of it?

Yes, that is the art I was working on for my application. :l...

That's why I try not to adopt myself. /: I've created all my pets, and the few times I did adopt a pet I adopted it straight from the AC.

however I have put a few pets UFA myself and have always stuck to the deadlines I gave. I can't understand why someone would be such a douche about it, jesus. sorry to hear about this.

Aww and you spent all that time drawing for it too, what a shame :( I sorry to hear that the 'nonymous changed their minds that really does blow.

The reason I gave up was I hate when I put so much effort into an application and the owner of the pet can't even have enough courtesy to mail me back. Even if I don't get to adopt the pet, hearing back would be nice, so I'm not sitting there wondering what the hell is going on.

While I realize it may be frustrating, think about the person who put the pet UFA. Reading through applications can be very frustrating, and perhaps the person just found knew right away that they had found the person they wanted. Maybe they thought they had all the apps in and didn't think anyone was going to apply. Again, I understand your frustration, and I know you probably worked very hard on your app. However, you have to realize that it is up to the person who owns the pet to make the decision.

I wish you better luck next time. I can't stress enough that I truly know where you're coming from, though really...I'm sure the owner feels pretty bad right now as well. From the looks of it, it didn't look like they did it to spite anyone. It was an honest mistake.

No Metaphor, this isn't the case. When I posted I had said I would be applying and the owner even responded to myself and another person saying...

Although I do understand where you are coming from there is no denying what the person did was wrong.

[edit]

5 applications can be so stressful. :l If they couldn't handle it they shouldn't have put her up for adoption.

Aw yikes... that really sucks, I'm so sorry =( This is why I never apply for any pets....

-hugs- The art you were working on is beautiful though ❤

I know what pet you're talking about. I thought of applying for a hot second and then realized I hate the whole adopting/applying thing too much. =p

Sorry that happened, though. I can definitely understand your frustration. :(

So now I am fabricating information that can clearly be seen on her board. And I've taken screenshots just in case.

I'm sorry but... this really ruined my day... week... subeta experience. Is that even allowed? To pay someone off for being pissed? I have a right to complain about whatever I want. :l

[edit]

I had posted the comments the person adopting the pet out had sent me but I don't want to be in trouble for targeting.

Aw, that bites. :/ Your illustration for the pet was really lovely, too. Perhaps you could create a new pet and aspire to color it the same, and have the art not go to waste, at least?

I foster pets sometimes, and I usually find them new homes within a few hours of making a board, but I always specify that I'm giving the pet to the first decent owner I find, and I never expect much from people application-wise.

Ever since I applied for a pet on Neo about a year ago, and spent hours and hours working on a page that was my application and then didn't get the pet up against someone who had applied before me because 'her petpage was better' (better coded. How can I help that? I made all of my own tables on paint and coded the page so it had a contents in the corner and actually spent even longer drawing the pet and wrote this awesome thing about it...) and actually, even when the pet went to someone else, I still didn't hear from the original owner. Ever since then I've hated applications. They are a waste of time, and they are attention-seeking, not to mention that they feed the ego.

Edit: The owner is attention-seeking I meant.

Yes, I am bitter about it. No, I won't ever do it again.

I'm sorry this happened to you )X
