Good question Peggy!
I've heard many negative things about this site from other posts.
Have visited the site and have been led into an, "Oh! It's so wonderful!" feeling.
Their 'Testimonials' are always sterling, and their photographs are polished.
But I've never heard 'real life' experiences be anything but negative.
From their Photos they have the most adorable animals imaginable for adoption.
I will always be suspect of a 'supposed' rescue group that makes you sign a 'food warranty'.
Spay and/or neuter, no problem. Inspect my home for compatibility, no problem. Ask about my lifestyle and what I expect from my Dog, no problem.
Tell me what I will feed my dog forever, and the only place I can get it is through them! Errch! Both feet on the brakes, and a hard turn to the shoulder of the road!
If they had shown any intention to take back dogs that were improperly placed, if they had backed up their promises of paying for vet bills that were found to be lacking because of their diet, or disabled because of the diet, then yes, I may be able to support these people.
They have not shown that they are willing, able, or capable of backing their promises to an unwitting public.
They are in trouble with the State of California over their tax exempt status.
They are frowned upon by 'ligitimate' rescue groups.
I consider them at Best a back yard breeder, and at Worst a Puppy Mill!
Let the Buyer Beware!
John
p.s.
I'm not afraid to slam them, I would love to hear their 'polished' response!
