Mother and Puppies needs good home - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

livingdustmops · 03-21-2008, 10:01 PM

Has anyone checked out airlines fares lately! $150.00 to fly from Nevada to Atlanta seems too little to me and then on to Florida. When is the home visit? No reputable rescue would do this. There concern is for the welfare of the dogs first and while people complain about the intense background check on people it is to safeguard the dogs.

This seems to be going down to easy.

P.S. A reputable rescue doesn't move on, they take as many applications as they can to find the perfect home for the dog.

I know AirTran has really cheap flights for people, but I called myself, and she doesnt sound professional. She kept getting distracted in our phone conversation. She was very hesitant with many questions I asked and was getting her information confused. She was even distracted when I spoke about flying all the way from NC to rescue and to make a donation. I would BEWARE and BE CAREFUL!!!!

Rule of thumb.. If it SOUNDS fishy or it is toooo good to be true.. Most of the time it IS.. So PLEASE be careful, I have read about TOOO MANY of you on here Getting SCAMMED.. Its so many people BEGGING for $$$ on the net you just dont know IF it is a REAL CAUSE....

Is there someone/ANYONE who lives in NV that can ask to go visit these puppies and their mommy?

What questions did she ask you? Did she appear to be really asking a lot of questions to find out if you would be perfect for one of her "rescues"? Did you ask more questions then she did?

At first she asked me how many animals I had. I told her I have none and that I would like to adopt around May 11th when I get settled in with my new move and would have a roomate there when I am not. She asked me if I had children 2x...both times I answered no. Then she asked me if anybody would be there with my baby when I left home and I had to once again repeat that I would like to wait until May 11th because I would have a roomate and I didnt want to disrupt him/her with a move. I had to tell her 2x that I did shadowing with a vet and worked part time at Periwinkles "dog spa" and when at both of those places my yorkie baby would be with me. The only times he/she would not be would be is for my 2- 50min classes everyday (in which he/she will be with a roomate or at periwinkles). I was astonished by her lack of intrest in my donations and adoption intrest. She was asking some appropriate questions but her mind was not in the conversation. I also added that I am planning on going to vet school and I shadow over 2 different vets and may know several people intrested in helping. I knew almost from the start with her unprofessionalism and her repeated questons that she was unlegit. It is so sad people do this to others.

She keeps calling my cell phone...I finally answered and she said she was following up...I told her that I wasnt interested and the the call was dropped....By the way her # comes up RESTRICTED!

Well you have just confirmed what I have thought from the beginning...this is no rescue or at the very least a reputable rescue. Rescue's need the help and financial support from individuals to survive and while one pup might not be perfect for you another would be and they would want to stay in contact.

I think this is just a breeder trying to sell puppies and using the cover of "rescue".

Aww man! That's so WRONG!

whitney_faulkne · 03-23-2008, 01:53 AM

It is so sad that they do this. I would much rather them be upfront with me. The only reason they do this is because they know their breeding programs are well below standard and they are trying to get every penny they can. Many of them dont even have the animals promised (like the one I was making the donation to). I asked all of the right questions and did a lot of research. One of the vets I shadow even was about to chip in. It is so sad and sickening!!

I tried to visit the website but it says under construction. I love yorkies but I dont have the money to pay a arm and a leg so I wanted to adopt a puppy. I have ran in to schem after schem. Its really disapointing.

Nayeli15 · 08-09-2008, 03:25 PM

I would love to help out but neitherof the links works .

Can anyone give me the number of the shelter?

DvlshAngel985 · 08-09-2008, 03:53 PM

Did you read some of the previous posts? It seems it wasn't a reputable shelter, just some byb trying to sell some pups.

TyraandMrJ · 08-09-2008, 04:00 PM

I'm sorry about I'm reading that sight and it sounds like a known scammer to me, and I'm currently running a search on ripoffreport. I know they were on that one. More then once. Please all be careful. I lost $600. to a rescue who had posted here once. and still working with the State of Ca to bag her. tyty

Im glad I did some research today or I would be in the same boat. I found all these places online and then when we got to talking it wa smail me 200 for shipping western union. I asked to pay direct and they wouldnt have it. Looked up the shipping place didnt exist and so on. I figured I should just look for someone in my area to pick up with. I found someone she said the y will be ready next week for 500 and I get to get it from her house so I am excited.
