Cox Family Doodles Reports & Reviews

Cox Family Doodles Reports & Reviews (33)

Stole our $500 deposit

Made a deposit in June 2020 for a puppy. Never heard back from her. I have requested a refund on a monthly basis since learning that she spent the deposit money in remodeling her home and never heard back from her. Has never had the courtesy of responding to an email or a request and know that she has probably blocked me. She is a professional con-artist full of excuses and should not be in business. Know another family that has gone through the same with Elise Cox.

BEWARE! Changed name to ZONA DOODLES - still Elise Juna Cox!

I paid a $500 ‘fully refundable’ deposit on 5/2020 on Venmo. Elise Cox was incredibly sweet and responsive at first. Then she used every excuse, Covid, pregnancy, sickness, Guardian Home issues, people creating hate groups and so on, to avoid getting back to you, getting you a puppy in a timely manner or refunding you the $500.

She has now scammed hundreds of people and has not refunded the $500 deposit. I have reached out about 7 times with no response from her. Her dogs look adorable, but she is not worth it! Changing her name to Zona Doodles is another tactic to lie and deceive. If you search Cox Family Doodles, there is news reports, scam reports, BBB fraud alerts, MANY negative reviews and forum posts all up and down the internet. She changed the name so unsuspecting people will not see her scamming truth.

Class Action Lawsuit is going to cost her every penny she owns. I'd be scared if I were her. She better start refunding now... See the screenshot of an email from her where she tried to convince me not to believe the negative reviews. She said people were out to get her... well I am not part of those people and I am too, calling her out.

I was scammed by Elise of Cox Family Doodles and she owes me $500. I had done extensive research on her program and previous family's experience and everything about it seemed great. I even spoke with her on the phone at least once, maybe twice and we had good conversation. I felt safe and confident I would receive a Goldendoodle puppy from her. I sent her the puppy contract on 5/8/2020 which clearly states that the $500 deposit is fully refundable within 60 days. On 4/3/21 I reached out asking for the deposit back and reached out again two weeks later then two months after that, with no response. I also reached out over IG where she "read" my message but never responded. (All communication is attached.) I am so disappointed and upset over losing out on a puppy and $500. I would like legal action to be pursued to receive my money back, as well as additional compensation for the inconvenience and heartbreak.

Useful

I am one of her victims. I paid $500 deposit in September of 2020. I tried to get it refunded several times with no success. She emailed me back 3 times with bunch of excuses that she had some issues, but would refund my money. Since March of 2021, she has beeen completely ignoring my emails and texts.

Useful

This is her latest response. Just full of lies. She needs to go to jail for scamming so many people

Useful

I put $500 deposit down a year ago after a friend of mine did. I have never heard a word from Elise Cox about getting a puppy. How can she live with herself for screwing so many people out of their money. NOT ONE WORD FROM HER!
# 121 on the list!

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

Do not be fooled by the slick professional website and photos. Elise will take your $500 deposit and you will never see a puppy or get your money back. Elise and Cox Family Doodles has duped many many many people out of their money with the promise of an adorable Goldendoodle puppy.

*This is wire fraud, plain and simple. Do not be fooled.*

We paid $500 deposit in April 2020 with the agreement it was fully refundable. By December we had not moved up the list of more than 60 people on the waiting list on coxfamilydoodles.com We contacted Elise Cox by email requesting our deposit refunded and got no response until March 2021. She agreed to refund, however it never happened. We filed a small claim in Maricopa County and were awarded $592 by default judgement, but have yet to collect a dime back.

Useful

Hi there. How do I file a claim in Maricopa County for this?

Useful

I paid Elise $500 9/3/20, once I paid the deposit never heard a word from her. Asked for a refund never heard a word from her. She’s a scam, we should amass a group suit against her. Shut her down so no more victims!

Useful

Agreed.

Useful

She took my money in October. She hasn't refunded. I written to BBB, Fraud Investigation. I contacted the sponsored website. Why is this allowed to continue.

Please help !

I know there is quite a few people after the last person too. I was “added” to the wait list the end of July 2020 but it was never posted to the website.

Useful

Looking at the waitlists before this one somethings don’t match up.
When there were 100 people there was no Ryan Wilson? Now on the more up to date list he appears at the top? Same with others like Loryn pervis. ?

Insane! Thank you for sharing

I am one of 186 + victims who have given Elise Cox of Cox Family Doodles 500.00 "refundable deposit" for a mini Goldendoodle. I have waited over a year to no avail. I have requested a refund through her website and emails. I have texted her at 480-799-4222 to no avail. Her voice mailbox is FULL. I am completing a consumer fraud complaint to the Arizona Attorney General today. 186 applicants x 500.00= $93,000.00. The 186 are just the tip of the iceberg. She stopped posting the waitlist approximately 6-8 months ago but has continued to take in deposits. In fact she changed her process and an applicant needs to pay $ 200.00 non refundable deposit for an opportunity to get on a waitlist. This is a ponzi scam. She said she can't refund $ until she gets more deposits coming in. I say she is breaking the law. I hope the Arizona Attorney General prosecutes.

Useful

This is a SCAM business. They quickly took my deposit of 500.00. Communication became obsolete and questionable. I asked for my refunds in October. It's now April and still no refunds. There needs to be a class action suit since there is over 60+ consumers whom have been taken advantage of. Why is her website still up. I've contacted every department available in Arizona and Federal.

Useful

I agree. I am one of the victims too. I dont know what else to do to get my money back. Attorney General’s office should step in

Useful

FACTS: (taken directly from her website) A NON_REFUNDABLE deposit to get on a waitlist? Scam! What is the cost of putting someone's name on a waitlist? She will refund your $500 if you contact her more than once? Scam! If you inquire as to where your puppy is, she will refund you your $500 and keep your $200. She makes a business out of way deposits for way more puppies than she can deliver. When customers get upset, she takes their $200 and tells them to take a leap. Karma is going to get this crooked, dishonest, conniving family. This business stinks from every angle. I pity them for their shameful actions. Adopt a dog that already exists and needs a home. Quit breeding dogs while so many others are in need of love and care. Stop being so selfish and greedy.

I’m #50 never got a dog or refund

Useful

I paid Cox Family Doodles, namely Elise Cox $500 deposit for a doodle puppy JUNE 2020. The Waitlist stated the wait would be 6-9 months. The Waitlist was posted on their website. I followed the Waitlist and saw that over several months, the wait wasn’t getting any smaller. I reached out to Elise a few months ago, I have all the emails, requesting and was told by Elise that she would honor my refund request as stated in the Agreement. After several months, several text messages and emails I have sent to Ms Cox, all I have gotten are excuses. No puppy, no refund. Ms Cox has stopped responding altogether. I see no other remedy other than filing a small claims case. However, when I told Ms Cox this a few months ago, Ms Cox told me to go ahead, I still wouldn’t get my refund.

I hesitated to write a review because, like so many others, she owes my girl a refund of $500 (which was requested in November 2020, it is now almost April 2021). My girlfriend is about fed up now and said I can write a review because she knows she’s not getting her refund back after giving Elise another 2 months to make it right but… still hasn’t. Elise Cox at Cox Family Doodles, claims that if we write bad reviews she won't get any new deposits meaning she won't be able to refund the MORE THAN 60 people waiting on a refund from her. Anyone that is a business owner knows that refundable deposit money is NOT your money until a good or service has been provided. Nothing was provided to me (or any of the other 60+ people, for that matter, now I’ve heard the number might be 100+).

She is a scammer and fraud of the biggest magnitude and honestly I don’t know how she sleeps at night. Her husband is always posting stuff on his Facebook about stocks and how he day trades etc. One can only assume this has a part of her losing all her clients deposits. I can see it now “hey babeeeeee let me borrow 10k, this stock is going to the MOON”. All jokes aside, what a joke this lady Elise Cox is. Not to mention they just bought a huge home in Las Sendas sometime in the last 6 months and posting all these upgrades that she has been doing to her home.

But at this point, I'm fed up and feel the need to warn others against giving Elise any deposit money. And frankly, when you feel wronged by a business owner, get excuse after excuse about how her life is so hard and horrible and then you see her husband posting pictures on social media of their beautiful new house and the kitchen his wife just designed in true 'joanna gaines' style, you feel a little sick to your stomach. Yuck. Link below to the Let Joe Know Article.

Just don't do it. Find another breeder.

At this point, I hope someone is taking legal action against her and her disgustingly selfish and illegal business practices. If anyone needs additional evidence in the form of emails or text messages, feel free to contact me.

I paid Elisa Cox $500 deposit for a golden doodle on 8/2020. I was purchasing a therapy dog for my 4 y/o daughter 5th birthday which is in a few weeks. I have not heard from her and and am not able to reach her. She posted a message about not reaching out to her about when the puppy would be available. I have called and emailed her and am unable to reach her to get my money back or puppy. I cannot afford to loose $500 and both my husband and I jobs have been greatly affected during the pandemic. We were very excited to get this puppy to help my daughter with speech and be a companion for her. We have been waiting for a year and now have no puppy and she has taken out money so we cannot pay a deposit or get a puppy for my daughter. This is a scam and she is stealing and needs to be arrested and return our and other peoples money.

Elise has hands down been the most unprofessional “business owner” I have ever dealt with. She admitted to spending all of her collected (REFUNDABLE) deposits, then throws herself a pity party with all her personal problems. She’s now claiming to pull a “business loan” to repay the 70+ people waiting on their refunds. She took my money and ghosted me, period.

I was a guardian home for my sweet Olive girl for 6 months. Had very little interaction with Mrs. Cox when it came to Olive. I named Olive, she came straight to my house from the airport etc. We were her HOME! In August Mrs. Cox tried to breed Olive using Artificial Insemination at our mutual friends house (Holli Silva) Mind you Olive had not completed all her testing, hip check etc & she wasn’t even a year old (9 months I believe) when she tried to breed her. It is not advised to breed dogs until after a year old, sometimes even two years of age. Fast forward to September, Mrs. Cox has a falling out with Holli b/c Mrs. Cox took her dogs as well (long story of their own). Holli happens to be my best friend, so next thing you know I’m caught in the middle of something I had no part of. Mrs. Cox tries to threaten me into solving her issues with Holli or she would take Olive from me...this goes on for several weeks. She eventually shows up at my house demanding I give her Olive b/c she thinks she’s pregnant (thank goodness she wasn’t). I was in a contract as a guardian home & have followed all the rules. I even have Mr. Cox on video stating that I had not broken the contract but I would if I didn’t give them Olive for a “check up”, so I gave her Olive per our contract to do a health & pregnancy check & now Mrs. Cox is refusing to give Olive back. On her website she claims that “Guardian Homes are Forever Homes.” This has not been my experience...Mrs. Cox took Olive from a loving home with 2 kids who adored her & Olive had space to run & play. Tell me how this is ok?! I just want my dog back...I offered to buy Olive but Mrs Cox will not sell her to me. These dogs are just $$$ to her in my opinion. I would NEVER purchase a puppy from Mrs. Cox due to some of her breeding practices nor would I recommend becoming a guardian home for her. The only one that has breached the contract was Mrs. Cox. She technically owes me $1,500 plus a puppy from Olives last litter. This is just my story! Do your research, there are lots more out there.

I am a waitlist family that has asked for a refund, but she hasn't contacted me back. I've reported her to the FTC and they're telling me to let anyone else who is experiencing this with her too to contact them and report her as well. If anyone knows her address, please let the FTC know as well. We need to get our money back and she cannot get away with hurting families and stealing their money. Please everyone take the time and call the FTC.

I too have been having the same difficulty in receiving my refund. I have been waiting for my refund since December 2020, we are now in the middle of March. I tried to reach her through text, phone, email and Instagram. When I finally got a response I was told “ Hello, I emailed you over a month ago along with my other refund families. Please check your spam inbox possibly. Some of my emails go there. Email is the best way to get ahold of me. I have had a lot of hard times recently with my health and family. I am not scamming you or breach of contract because you will receive your full refund. No need to threaten me like this. Please check your email. If you can’t find it, I will resend. I’m working my way down my refund list and will refund you in full as soon as possible. ” I have yet to receive this email she talks about and my refund. I have been expecting a puppy since may 2020
