Puppies available for adoption

900 talked to the guy explained i want to train him to be a service dog as im disabled. We agreed on 300 including delivery which was to be the next day. Shipping was through prime shipping solutions. I was told at. This point i jeeded to pay 300 for crate rental which would be refunded in full upon delivery. I was then told i was required to pay 400 for international flight pet insurance. The dog is being driven 3.5 hours to my house. I was told thosmoney will also be fully refunded upon delivery. It is supposedly to prevent pet abandonment. Their phone number is out of Florida 786 520 5812 . When i contacted the shipper i got the same information. I asked the seller to just rwfund my money he said no this was my fault for sending the money goods and services which supposedly protects me with paypal where as friends and family does not. The shipping company also required friends and family for payment. If you have more questions feel free to call me 270 349 7307 thank you Phoenix

At first they said the puppy would cost $500 plus $100 for shipping then when they got to the place to ship the puppy the airport they want another $995 refundable insurance to put on the puppy and when the puppy was delivered that money would be refunded. I told them I don't have that kind of money to cancel it and don't worry about it. The seller said that they'll put $300 towards it to where I would only have to pay $695. I tried to tell him no don't worry about it. Refund me my $600. I'll go elsewhere for me a Puppy then he continue to tell me that I will be charged with abandonment because the Puppy has already been transferred into my name and the puppy is my possession and I would be charged $5000-$6000 for Puppy of abandonment and Nicolette so my husband said go ahead and pay the 695 for the insurance in this way they can put them on a plane so they put them on the plane morning of October 29 2024 and at 3:30 my time they text me and told me that the Puppy was in Atlanta and it's a two hour plane ride from Atlanta to Louisiana and I would have to pay another $600 for dog licensing fee that's when I called my local shelter and asked them about it and the lady told me no that sounds like a scam because everything we have been paying with has been going Zelle and I found out the only thing when they boarded the dog onto the plane that they needed was a health record to make sure the shots were up-to-date. So as of now they have scammed me out of $1295. They're still wanting another $600 to ship them from Atlanta to Louisiana and I refuse to pay him. These are the phone numbers they were using to text me 740-825-5715, 804-634-1568, 813-258-2472.

i reached out to a website to possibly purchase a bullmastiff puppy. i received an email back telling me they were in edmond, Ok . they wanted to know if i would be picking up the puppy or having is shipped. I asked for a viedo of the puppy we were interested in and they said t told them I didnt think that at all, but we were just wanting to see they puppy and maybe 2 other puppies in order to make up our minds. they said again they didnt have time to take a viedo, but they could send me a picture of the litters paperwork. so I said yes please and could you also send just one picture of the 2 puppies? again they said no they could not do that, but they did send a VIEDO of the paperwork was mostly blank and very difficult to see.

I found a puppy online from German shepherd puppy paradise. Contacted by txt message only, wanted me to send 1000 by PayPal, zelle or apple something. Told them it would have to wait until following day, the next morning they text telling me to let them know when it was sent. By then I had researched all the red flags. I informed them I had a relative in Winter Haven who would come pick up the pup if that was okay. After about 40 minutes they text back that that could be done BUT, before that I had to send a $300 dollar "hold" payment. That is when I ended the conversation letting them know that the phone number they had been texting from is registered to a car breeder with multiple complaints of scam and that the business address given belonged to AKC kennel farms, a dog breeder with the same scam complaints. People sending the money, never receiving the pet and not able to get their money back because their methods of payment do not consider puppies or cats and eligible for scam protection. Therefore no way to get their money back. I spent an entire evening following the scams. They simply changed the name from akc kennel farms to German shepherd puppy paradise. ScamPulse.com has given AKC kennel farms an F rating.

German Shepherd puppy paradise website was just created in August 2024. The person contacting me gave the name of Daniel William, they claimed to be the breeder..there is no listing in Florida AKC breeder registry for a Daniel William.

I was trying to buy a chihuahua puppy and Brendaline told me that she had a puppy and could ship her to me via Glide Courier Express. I had a tracking number then the courier needed a special crate and then there was a 24 hr hold on the dog because I didn't do something right on the payment.

I tried to email the courier but my email doesn't show that it was ever sent or delivered.

I was told after I had to contact them, they were working on the shipping detail. My shipping was supposed to be free. They contacted me with this email of [email protected] and told me it would cost me $1640.00 because the airline requires a special insurance and a special crate. I told them my shipping was free and they needed to read their website. Then they sent me an email telling me the breeder would split the cost, and my share was 100% refundable at airport upon delivery of puppy. If I didn't, pay them I would be held for neglect. I said no more money because I paid $599.00 just for puppy. They have never contacted me back and I have tried several times to contact them, but no one replies back to me. Breeder is a scammer

I was buying a puppy off of their site for 500 dollars i asked them about the cost of the puppy before hand and everything i needed to know before buying the puppy, she said yes that is all i needed and i proceeded with everything she told me to do she made me sign a fake documenr saying that i have legal ownership of the puppy with out sending me medical records, microchip documents or nothing just a document saying i am now the owner of the puppy, she then sent it to airlinepetexpress delivery which is in who another scamming company and theh told me last minute that I had to pay $955 or else the puppy will not be transported and sent to quarintine and it baffled me and It took me last minute to hit me that I literally got scammed out of 750 and then they were trying to scam me out of more money to trying to put fear in my heart she hasnt sent me pictures of the puppy in the cage nor has she sent me pictures of the puppy medical records or anything, i tried using their contact support and theg said that they were going to send my gf a letter saying thag she abandoned the puppy and is going to charge her which doesnt make sense cause they were the ones refusing to transport the puppy and for a refundable insurance which doesnt even make sense airlinepetexpress and homeyorkie are the biggest scams

Created a whole fake Facebook page with fake people saying they received puppies from her. Only contacts by google numbers. You pay the deposit to joann Simmons, then pay the whole thing and she “ships” the dog and tries to get more money for shipping, vet fees, etc. sends you a shipping number to track your puppy but the shipping company is fake.

Add pop up on facecrook for bulldog puppies. I made first contact with them. We exchanged some talk and pictures, then discussing the price of 600 dollars, that is incredibly low for the breed. The scamer wanted a 300 dollar deposit only through zell,paypal, apple or some other electronic transfer. I offered to pay in cash in person apon viewing the dog. The scamer refused talking directly on the phone and became belligerent when I refused to send money in advance.

I was searching online to buy a puppy for my family. I came across this website while searching online and messaged the seller. They would never call me, only text and email. I told them which puppy I was interested in and if they would charge for delivery, since I am in Miami and they are in "Jacksonville". They told me shipping was free within Florida and that the final price of the puppy was $750. I asked them how I could pay and they said they accept Paypal and Zelle. I paid them with Zelle and gave them my address and a time to be at my house. They said once I paid, the dog would be delivered the next day to me. The next day comes around and I told them to be by my house at 7 because i worked till 6. 7 PM comes around and I text and email them asking them if they are close by. They tell me yes and i ask them what time they would get here, since they said they were driving, I assumed they would use a GPS that tells you the exactly what time you would get there, but they never responded. They stopped responding to me around 7:05 PM and I never received my puppy or my money back.

They claim to sell puppies online... Customers inquire, then they get all your information thru email to begin and send you fake photos and videos of the dogs. Then, they require you to put down a deposit to reserve the dog

Scammer name going by Henderson stomock posing as a dog breeder, took a deposit of $300, the day we were going to meet he made an excuse of his mother being in hospital and said he dropped off the puppy at the shipping agency.

I then got contacted via text and email that my puppy needed to be in a refundable crate to be secure, so I put a deposit of $625 for a crate then they said the puppy was in transit and is 2 hours away and now needed another $800 for Insurance which I didn’t provide.

I believe this is a big organization of people posing as puppy breeders who have a fake web that looks legitimate but upon digging further was on google since June 2024.
