Donating YT 14K Club Member | SELLERs BEWARE!!!!! Another YT member has been scammed. This person (truereviews) recently sold a dog to someone. The dog was originally bought for breeding but didn't fit standards so she was listed here on YT... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64959 After getting this dog on 02/03/07, the buyer started complaining on 02/06/07...3 DAYS. They said that the dog was sickly and claimed to have a vet report to prove it. Even the vet letter which she finally sent in a scanned version after a lot of fussing is a big scam. The vet listed her condition as being "excited". You have to understand that this dog had just traveled over 7 hours and is still nervous about her new environment and is probably scared. She had never been around children and the person that bought her has kids. The seller's vet examined the dog before leaving and gave her a clean bill of health. After the seller told the vet what was going on, the vet stated that they would be willing to testify that she was 100% healthy before leaving the seller's home. Then on 02/06/07, the demands started coming. This buyer demanded a full refund of $500 plus $350 from some mysterious vet bill and the gas they spent to drive to get her. They stated that if she didn't immediately refund their money and travel to pick up the dog, they were going to have her euthanized. There was a contract that was signed. The contract stated that if the dog was to be found sick or they decided they did not want the dog or cannot keep her for any reason, the buyer would have to return the dog with a vets report (if illness was the claim) in order to get the refund. A lawyer contacted the buyer. She spoke to the buyer and found that she was extremely difficult. She didn't want to listen to anything. She claimed that she was bluffing when she said she would have the dog euthanized. Yesterday, the buyer claimed that the dog tried to bite one of her children. I wonder what her child did to warrant getting bit. Anyway, this buyer turned her in to the humane society to be euthanized. The lawyer found out about this and immediately called all parties involved. There was a thread started here last night about trying to find transport for Lexie because someone had agreed to take her. However, the humane society would only hold her till the end of today. The seller was able to find transportation from a family member and arrived at the humane society this morning to retrieve the dog. The humane society refused to release her to the seller and stated that the person that turned her in would have to release the dog to her. After much time and energy spent, Lexie is finally back with Andrea the original seller. This buyer's user name is sunsoaked5 and her name is Erika Caldwell. I am posting this to warn ALL SELLERS OUT THERE. Do NOT sell to this person. What kind of person makes such outrageous demands and then relinquishes the dog to be euthanized? We constantly have threads that warn buyers about sellers. This time, it's the other way around!

| Thanks for posting this Kim. It's truely sad that she threatened and even sent the dog to the human society to be euthanized. Poor dog has just been through so much, i wonder what kind of vibe they were giving Lexie when she was in their hands? I'm just happy to say that Andrea has Lexie and that's all that matters. Sellers beware of this person. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That womans name needs to be on every yorkie site out there - what a sick thing to do ...she could easily have NOT put that poor puppy thru all that and just waited for someone to come get her. PEOPLE CAN REALLY SUCK. I'm so glad she's home and saw there were a bunch of people involved in helping - way to go you all ~!!! edited to Add - and what's up with the HUMANE SOCIETY only holding her such a short time ?? that doesn't sound humane at all ....

| What a terrible person she is To think that without the help of other dog loving people that poor baby would have been euthenized for No Reason - I can only imagine what a terrible life the pets/people around her must live...

As far as the humane society...if it's an owner release and the owner specifically request euthanization, then they do not have to wait any amount of time. I worked at a humane society YEARS ago and we had an owner release of 3 basset hounds. Owner wanted them to be euthanized. They never made it into the building.
