MrSnappy Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 She's listed as "adopted" not as available. RDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdogz Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 She's listed as "adopted" not as available. RDM ok...someone explain this to me. A friend sent me the info to pass along. If she is already adopted, why is she listed on petfinder instead of just removing her??? I obviously didn't read carefully...but it goes on to describe her as if she were available. I'd like to know so that I don't make the same mistake again. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljones Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm no expert on Petfinder, so maybe someone who actually maintains a PF site can chime in, too. But it is my understanding that some organizations choose to update the animals' status on PF (from adoptable to adopted) instead of just removing their listings, as a quick and easy way to let people know what has happened (i.e., that the animal is "safe" and was not euthanized). There are two places to check to see the animal's current status. One is at the top of the listing (I added the boldface for emphasis): KatieBorder Collie: An adopted dog in Pittsburgh, PA The other is in the page header at the to top of your browser window (my bold again):: Petfinder Adopted Dog | Border Collie | Pittsburgh, PA | Katie Hope this helps.

aljones Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 You're quite welcome! It took me awhile to learn where to look for the adoptable/adopted distinction, and I was very confused for that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
