Margaret was Great!! 
But, the Rescue she was dealing with approved the adoption on 3/16, then I got the PM on 3/28 the they decided not to go through with the adoption. 
I sent the adoption fee of $350.00 (overnight) to her on 3/22. I was so fortunate that Margaret held on to the money and did not hand it over right away, because the Rescue would not have gave my money back... even thought they backed out of the contract, not me. She said it's in fine print somewhere, but it's not on the contract that I signed!!! The Rescue would have "chaulked" it up as a donation and not given my "adoption fee" back. Has anyone else ever heard of this before?
I was devasted enough that they broke the contract and my heart (he was already mine... I couldn't wait) and then to hear that I almost didn't get my $$ back.... I've been a bit upset the last couple days.
I won't say too much, but I have a feeling the adoption wasn't going to be a reality all along.  Especially since I'm in Oregon and Murphy/Rescue is in New York... they probably didn't think I would have come all the way over to NY to make a big stink regarding a meer(sp?) $350...
they don't know me very well, cuz I don't appreciate anyone forcing me to make a donation... don't get me wrong, I back rescues and I donate to a good cause, but to take my $$ under false pretenses(allegedly), kinda rubs me the wrong way. Margaret was pissed and felt they might have broke the contract to give Murphy to a "friend", so she decided to keep him herself, and possibly start her own rescue. I'm just glad she was on top of how things are run at the Rescue and didn't hand over the $$$.
I should have the $$ sent back to me next week. Then I can put it back in my "OEM" fund.
I'm still waiting to hear back from Margaret, because I don't even know which Rescue I was dealing w/(My Bad!!  )and I want to make sure I don't deal w/ them ever again.
The adoption papers were generic, and I was told that all three of the rescues she dealt w/ were similar... identical forms, rules and regulations.
Has anyone ever had this happen before??
I'm definately dealing w/ someone alot closer.
Thanks for listening to me vent...
