I bought a puppy here for my children which was ridiculously overpriced. I took it to the vet for an exam (which was supposed to be free) and was charged $55. One day, after the visit the vet called me and told me the dog had many parasites which can be transferred to humans. I have babies in my house and was very concerned. I called the store and said I wanted a refund as the dog was unfit for sale. I brought the dog back the next day and they tried telling me the puppy was not sick when they sold it to me. They only gave me a refund for the dog and not the $350 in merchandise. I never would have made the purchase if I knew the dog was sick! They also told me the puppy came from a breeder but in actuality it came from a puppy mill in Ohio.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
When I reminded them about the contract they told me they don't care what the signed contract states. If I don't give them more money, they won't put my order through and they will not refund my cash deposit.
I need help with the right type of lawyer that deal with this kind of thing, which is a broken contract. I have specific dates and day to day journal of events from the last week and a half if needed for all information and all false statements made to me. As well as a phone bill that will show constant, harassing phone calls. Thank you in advance for any help with a lawyer or any other direction you can point me in. Loss of cash deposit and honestly unnecessary heartbreak. harassment in phone calls.
On 1/19/10, I purchased a 3 month old male Siberian husky from Breeders Association of America, Inc. When I got him home, I immediately knew something was wrong. He went to all 4 water bowls and proceeded to drink all the water out of each bowl, his stool was loose, he urinated and threw up all over the house and was food aggressive. I called the vet and kept him separate from the 3 other dogs I own and scheduled an appointment for 1/21/10. On 1/21/10, he put him on medication to correct the stool and the urinary tract infection, and as directed from the vet, I put him on a bland diet and received an unfit for sale slip.
Seven days went by and I noticed nothing was getting better. My 3 other dogs were getting sick so I called the vet and scheduled another appointment for 1/28/10. On 1/28/10, the vet changed his medication, put him on a different bland diet, gave my other dogs some shots and I received another unfit for sale slip. A few more days went by and weren't getting any better so I called the vet and scheduled yet another appointment for 2/1/10. On 2/1/10, the vet gave him a fecal exam, changed his medication again and gave me an unfit for sale slip.
On 2/5/10, I called the vet and asked him if he could switch his medication because he was getting worse. He was fatigued, sneezing greenish yellow stuff out of his nose, he had a runny eyes and he was sleeping all day and would barely move. The vet changed his medication over the phone and told me to bring him on 2/7/10. On 2/7/10, I brought him in and he gave him nutracal, along with more medication, changing his diet and giving me an unfit for sale slip. During this whole ordeal, I was in constant contact with the Breeders Association of America (speaking with the manager Bruce and the owner Lauryn). I sent in every notice attempting to get reimbursed but both the Breeders Association of America and their third party payment center won't reimburse me. They keep giving me the run around.
i had purchased a maltese from the breeders association of america inc in bricktown new jersey, she has been continuously sick since day one, they refuse to give me a refund on my baby, they will only replace the dog if i bring her back, which i am not doing! who in there right mind would just replace a dog!? these people are completely calculated and cold hearted, all they care about is the sale of the animal and bullsh***ing every customer!! i will be making sure this place is shut down i just hope anyone looking for a new puppy does their research and looks at the 10's of websites and hundreds of complaints against theses sick people! we need them to be SHUT DOWN!

I walked into the store called Puppies on Rt 70 Friday night at 6pm with my son, Chris, his friend Dustin and another friend Ana. I fell in love with a 2 lb Maltese that we were told was born 08/08 and bought to their store 10/23/08/ After a lengthy discussion with Darlene for over an hour, asking on how to keep the dog and raise as this is our first dog ever. I explained to her that my son has severe asthma and we were very nervous buying the dog. She told us in the front of 4 people, no problem you have 14 days to decide whether you can keep the dog or not. so with that thought my son and I decided to get the dog. I had no identification on me so they took my sons info to get the dog financed thru their company called Shoppers Charge Accounts.
We were first told the dog would cost $3500.00 and I said that is crazy, she dropped the price to $2500 saying she could not go down any further. I told her no, she goes back into the office and says would you take the dog for $1500 with all the extra's meaning free crate, toys and food. I said yes. She completed the finance agreement had my 19 yr old son fill it out and sign it and away we went with the dog at 745pm Friday night. We got home played with the dog for an hour went to bed and my son had such a severe asthma attack that his eyes started to swell, and he was on the neubulizer all night./ the next day he had trouble breathing so he went over to a friends home and started feeling better/.
We decided it would be best for the dog to be taken back as my sons health was more important and I am sure any parent would agree. The store opened the next day at 11am and we were there with the dog all his toys crate and two friends at 11 am sharp. So actually we baby sat the dog over night. We had the dog for a total of 15 hours. We go back to the store and the nice employee from the night before Darlene was a a total different attitude. I told her my story that I could not have a "DOG" in my home because of my son's asthma and being she told us we had 14 days to decide we thought it would be best to bring the dog back immediately as we did not want to get attached to the dog.
She told us fine, we will give you another dog, I told her maybe she did not hear me correctly, I cannot have a dog in my home. She said our policy is: We will accept the dog back or give you another dog of equal value. If you give us the dog back we cannot accept the crate and the toys and the closed sealed food. I said that I would be williing to pay for the food etc, she said "No that is not what we do, your stuck with that, and also the finance charges." I said what I am giving you the dog back within 15 hours, she said that is what we do.
So my ending of this is: I bet a dog for 15 hours return it and then get told that I have to pay for the dog on the finance agreement and she will be nice and give me store credit of $2000.00.. Plus the best part of the story is that she would not even give me back a copy of my signed contract agreement. She has it in the store and I have nothing just a paper saying I returned the dog for personal reasons which is my mind were life threatening and I have the crate food and toys. Why should I have to pay on a finance agreement at 21% for something I do not even own. Plus why give me credit at a store that I would never buy from unless I wanted to kill my son with another asthma attack.
Also I would like to point out that when I returned the dog , I was then charged for all the toys, food, and crate and vitamins that the night before were given to me free. I told her I would buy them and then donate them to the Jersey Shore ANimal SHelter. I have contacted a lawyer, I am also contacting the Attorney general office and Shame on you, Channel 5 fox news.Someone has to close this store and have them investigated. I am sure to it that if a investigation went thru you would alot more things that are not legal and have many more complaints., I just happen to have a very smart friend that told me about Consumer Complaints, and itsn't it strange how there are many compalints about this store. I want my contract voided out, that is all I ask. I will not pay for something I dont even own
