Response to Annette
Tammy's place is a small farm, you drive back a long lane and her house and all the animals are back there. To the left of the drive was several farm animals and a round pen with a few foals in it. Then there was a kennel type looking structure that had dog pens outside of it. Her house is very small and right beside the house were 2 pens full of puppies. My first instinct was holy crap why does she have so many puppies. She told me that was only half of what she had last week. She told me she had over 50 puppies. There was probably about 20 or so left when I got there. So, I wonder how many other people got sick dogs that haven't found this website yet.
I called her the day my puppy died. She seemed remorseful and told me and I quote "I will give you a refund so you can buy your kids another puppy, but I need a few days to sell a puppy and then I will send you your money." What a line of @#$*!!!!!! I waited 2 weeks and heard nothing. I called her back and she told me that it would take atleast a month for me to get my money back and then she told me she needed copies of my vet records. I asked her why she didn't tell me that when I spoke to her 2 weeks prior, she didn't have response.
Yes, I did pay cash and she gave me this paper to fill out with my name, address, etc... after reading it further it actually is a paper that says they offer no health guarantees, no refunds, etc etc... I was so very stupid to sign this and even more stupid for taking one of her puppies. I was misled... she handed me the paper after we picked out the puppy and my kids were playing with her... they obviously know what they are doing.
Yes, my puppy (we named her Lucy) looked healthy. She slept quite a bit on the drive home, but she's a puppy, I didn't think twice about it until she started vomiting and had diahrrea when we arrived home. The only good thing about this entire experience is that atleast Lucy got to be loved for a very short time, but she did not die in that hellhole of a place!!!!!
Tammy is about 5'5"" and has long dyed blonde hair... she is smaller built and looks kind of rough. Her associate Julie is a larger brunnette person and she also looks very rough. But in person, they were very nice and seemed genuine. I AM SUCH A SUCKER! The thing that gets me too is that they advertised on domesticsale.com as Rescues and they told me that they rescue puppies from bad environements and find them homes. I though I was doing a good thing buying a puppy from them. Wow, did they fool me or what.
Well, I am in this with the rest of you and will not rest until she is forced to stop this crap! Those poor little animals. Her place is probably so infected with parvo that they don't contract it until they get to her place. She does not realize how much she has ruined our pet experience in my household. I am so scared to get another pet. Although we only had Lucy in our house for 1 1/2 days before she got admitted to the vet clinic, I have bleached my floors and threw out all the brand new toys we bought her... I am so scared that parvo is still in my house that I can't even buy my kids another pet.
So, let me know what I can do, feel free to e-mail me anyone on what I can do if you don't want to publicly post it. I am just so glad I found this site.
Oh, I forgot to tell you too that on one of the other phone calls I had with Tammy she told me I should sue my vet because they misdiagnosed Lucy and there is no way she could have had parvo.
Let's close down these thieves and puppy abusers!!!!!!!
