Some people ..... i had been talking to a couple of ladies for the last couple days about a pomeranian puppy. (she had 2) 12 weeks old Female ckc all shots wolf sable came from bad situration infested w/ fleas, she bought the puppies but is now living in a hotel and needs to fine new homes. they were asking 300 but i had talked them down to 260 before i got there this morning. now it took me a long time to talk my husband in to getting another puppy and lately i keep having bad experiences w/ breeders.... Well i show up at this run down hotel room, this older woman opens the door and she has 2 BLONDE pom puppies and a blk pom hiding in the hotel room. it is nasty and run down and the puppies are INFESTED with fleas!! Fleas are every where, they have only had one vaccine, which they should of had all 3 at 12 weeks. the puppies are coughing and choking.. she tells me they have been chewing on ELECTRICAL WIRES...i told her that i needed to talk to my husband, who waited in the car w/ the baby when i came out and told him, he said let me talk to her and see if he can get then one you liked for less and then take it to the vet...but i was already scared they may have something and i didnt want to bring that home to my babies..well he went in and told her that he didnt want to buy me antoher dog that might pass away on me while he was gone, he didnt think, i could take it (he works out of town 6 days a week) and that he would pay 150 and then take the dog straight to the vet to be checked for kennel cough and to check her throat and give her capstar and frontline and vacciness..well of course she refused saying she was advertsing them for $400.00 and just knew she could get that... well to top all things off in between their talking and him saying "we have a four bedroom house and i stay by myself" ( just to give her some backgroup history on us, it isnt a big house just a simple cape code) she asked if she could move in with me!!! i dont know this lady!!! then she gave him sob stories about having to move from the hotel because she was scared and would live in her car w/ all 3 pups, because her daughter left her out on the street, well she had just told us these puppies were her daughters puppies and that she would be back later To tell you all the truth im glad it didnt work out because i can only get one more puppy i have 2 now and im really want either a yorkie, pom or malt ( a mix) but i want good quality i just need to keep saving and keep looking, which is okay. but it just irked me how she and her daughter said they rescued these puppies from what they thought was a puppymill where they were infested w/ fleas and then the dogs are still in fested w/ fleas!!! and were not up to date w/ vaccines and coughing and choking.... okay i am done venting, thanks!! |
That is so sad...If really feel sorry for those puppies, someone should report her...but I am glad for you because, I lost a baby from liver shunt, so with lexie & bear I waited and made sure they where healthy, if she is that nasty, she doesn't care about how she lives, and I know some people can't help it, but they can be clean, and she sounds like she is just looking for money and could care less about the pups.... |
Oh My Gosh. I would refer a rescue group for Poms to her motel room asap! It's people like her who piss me off to the extreme. If she is homeless and living in a friken motel, she should gladly GIVE those poor babies to someone willing to care for them rather than trying to make a buck for herself (if she cared about the well being of the pups) I wish you the best and I do hope you can rescue one of those pups but don't bring it home to your babies until it's been to a vet if so. If they are infested with fleas you can bet they have tape worms too. Some people don't deserve to own any animals. Sorry. I'm gonna leave this alone now because it ticks me off. |
i know it makes me mad, but i dont feel comfortable reporting people... i wold have thought she wanted good homes to because she listed it as an emergency, and needed to find homes asap! and i am totally in agreeance w/ the clean part! i understand lived in, lived in looks good, looks homey but i cannt stand filfh!! im a bleach queen!! 8) |
I am not one to report people either UNLESS there is a real problem that I have facts on and dogs are being neglected/mis treated. I would not want that on me every night when I lay down to sleep unless it was worthy of the phone call. Anyone who would do that to someone "just because" they don't like the person is a low life with NO life in my book. In this person's case, it sounds like her puppies are being neglected if they are flea infested like you stated, they need help in my opinion. Tape worm larvae live on the adult flea and infested dogs ingest a flea by biting themselves to relieve the itching. Then the tape worm larvae develop and ivolve into the pup. Tape worms take away almost all the nutrients that dogs ingest from their food. If this lady is living in a motel with these kind of conditions with her pups, I can only "assume" she isn't feeding a quality diet as well. I would swallow my pride on the not being one to report people and think about the babies here. Just my opinion. |
Poor babies:cry: bless there little heart |
I would report her too to help those puppies and maybe someone can get her some help as well. |
I too believe the situation would be reported. The puppies need to be taken care of before even more serious problems develop. :( |
Oh please please report her!!!! Those poor babies need rescued and given good homes!!! |

1. the lady is completely homeless almost 2 depending on where she is located and teh laws of animal curelty she could be fined and put in jail .... 3. yes the puppies need a better situation . 4. unlikely that the lady can even afford a motel room to live in much less support her self and a litter of pups which she probably did not rescue in the first place 5. help this lady by getting her help 6. help these puppies YES take her some flea preventative .... 7. take her some vaccinations 7. where is the humanity of people helping people to hell with thier situation or what a person can do to get them in a bigger fix then they already are .. 8. I dont care if you all bash me for saying this I really don't 9. put asside your arguements andhelp both ehr and the pups ... My god where or when are peopple going to stop bashing and help... LORD HELP US ALL .. |
i not going to bash you, your right people should each other, but you have to be willing to help yourself too. ans she showed me her bottle of frontline, but who knowes if she was using or maybe because they are all in a small room the fleas just keepinh jumping on and off. i dont feel comfortable reporting, i know everyone wants me to and i know it is probably for the best, but i wouldnt want it coming back on me, i am very non-confrontational (spelling?) they have my numbers and i wouldnt want harrassing calls or to be taking to court later as a witness the the surroundings... and if i report her they will know she has animals at the hotel and kick her out, i wouldnt want that on my mind, either. |
my point exactly ..... there needs to be something done no doubt .... but if she don't give it or try to help them and herself who will right ... She is probably like the hundreds of millions of people out tehre who breed a male and a female to get by monitarily on the side . its sad but true it happens ... |
Right! we offered to still take at least one but for less then she wanted and she refused so it was all about the money not finding the pups a good home. i know people do that... |

Sometimes situations like these would be best handled by a family member ... of a good close friend .... but then again some people jsut don;t have family or friends to help ... I do wish the best for the pups ... sorry they are subjected to this .. but trust me kennel cough or whatever else could eb very much wrong with them you did not need this in your home around your other animals .. you are much better off ..... just hope the pups find good special needs homes .. because more then likely they will need them |
my husband found me another pom, female wolfe colored, the website is www.southernpoms.com, if you click on the light colored pom on the homepage scroll down third pup on the left is the one we are looking at. my husband is working in sc right now and that is where she is located, she is $200.00 no papers, 8 weeks, no vaccines yet because the breeder said she has had bad experiences with giving vaccines at that age to her poms before (probably b/c of lepto) if everything works out i would get her next weekend and i was thinking of the name porkchop...we'll see what happens.... |
Congratulations! I hope everything goes well and you get to bring lil "Porkchop" home soon! I love that name! Sooo cute! |

I too am sorry for her situation and am physically involved and donate generously to multiple causes but I still don't feel like indiscriminate breeding of puppies is a valid method to "just get by". I personally would feel like working at a fast food store or any other honest job would be a better method. If she is doing this to just get by, she can't possibly be taking the care of the animals that they need and deserve. It is a sad situation but in my opinion those puppies need to be rescued. |
could you call or report them to animal control? those people are just using those poor dogs just to get money for who knows what and when/if they do sale them and somethings wrong by then i'm sure they would be long gone living in a hotel and all! poor puppies |

best advice I can give you is have it checked out thouroughly with your vet immediately ..... |

i don't mean to be a bummer but i wouldn't buy from a breeder that doesn't get their shots & they don't have papers it seems a little fishy "no papers, 8 weeks, no vaccines " |
well im not worried about papers hat is why she doesnt cost the same as the other puppies that will be due soon. and i do understand the vaccnine thing which is okay because i will take her to the vet when i get her. but thank you for your concern |
oh no! poor poms. |
I was looking at the website...Why are all the dogs pictures taken outside and not in the house? |
the best place for poms is www.allstarpoms.net . I plan on getting one of their show quality babies as soon as one is avaliable. they are GORGEOUS! Also the owner is so sweet and honest and really treasures her furbabes. My dream is to own an allstar pom, LOL! I've been admiring them for years and as soon as I can convince my family, it's on! |
OMG !!! I take my dogs pictures outside on a set I pre set up ... and you'd never know they were taken outside .... does it really matter .... we can't all take our dogs to a professional photographer for foto snapshots ... or to a dog show with awards sitting around . does it really matter ????? no pun intended about dog show photos .... jsut making a example ... |
Quote:
Having a set up is one thing.. But this isnt the case. |
well im not sure about the outside thing but my husband is going to her home to pick the puppy up im sure if there is a problem he will back out of the purchase.....i will keep you all updated!! |
