| 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!!!!

| 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.

| 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".

| 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 want one 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. |

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