“Great site to find and research available puppies!”

Laura D.
11/2/24

We found the breed we wanted not too far from home. He was available, answered texts and phone calls promptly, is a wonderful family breeder who loves his dogs. Just what we wanted to find. Reviews excellent. We met the puppies and make out choice, then picked up a week later at a half-way point which was great for us and our puppy too.

“Puppyfind.com was so much better!”

Ever since puppies.com took over puppy find.com, the amount of exposure went down drastically. I used to find homes for all my puppies through puppy find com. Now my puppies find homes through AKC marketplace and other websites. I hardly get any inquiries from puppies.com.

Employees of a business need to do what their employer tells them what do do. My dad told me this when I was 11 years old as I was starting my first part time job as a meat cutter for my uncle. My dad said: "if they tell you to dump dirt on the street, do it, they pay your wages!"

Employers have their employers as well. Stock holders if public and their customers like I was to puppies.com. Customers need to be treated fairly or a business will go out of business.

A large company can have thousands of customers so when one customer files a complaint with the company as I did it can be overlooked or unnoticed.

I believe that was what happened with me after advertising with them for 5 years or so. They just went through a major re haul. Brand new website which has some bugs which they are working on.

In ether case the correct person whom I had dealt with personality stepped up to the plate and reached out to me yesterday by phone and after some discussion reinstated my advertising account.

This was important to me because puppies.com is in the top 5 on Google as far as finding a puppy to buy. I have seen many times when I typed in Golden Retriever Puppies for sale in Colorado and a link comes up on google that when I clicked on it it not only goes goes to puppies.com, but it goes directly to my ad I placed on the site.

If you were to advertise on Google as I also do, the average person would need to spend hundreds of dollars each month to achieve the same results as I have with Puppies.com at a cost of around $20.00 per month.

That is what is so great about using this company and one of the reasons I wanted my account back.

As it was pointed out to me on the phone that they can terminate any account without notice and for any reason. But my answer to that is if a company starts doing that to their good clients too often they will be looking for a new job.

In this competitive world a company need to go the extra mile when working with their customers.
As a owner and president of many types of businesses in my career I have learned that from mortgage banking, real estate investing, and even film production.

In conclusion I'm happy to be back with Puppies.com and I hope they are happy with me.

Anna was quick to reply and so nice! We adopted Beulah and she is the most wonderful addition to our family.

Reason I chose this business:

Craigslist was a horrible experience with nothing but scammers.

I bought a cocker spaniel puppy in June, 2021 from a breeder in Ruthers Glen, VA. Several things I've learned. I don't believe the puppy was ever seen by a
Vet. I think they did the shots and tail docking themselves. The ad didn't say she had been seen by a vet. When I got her at 8 weeks the ears were very dirty. When I took her to the vet for her next shot, they found she had an ear infection. The infection didn't clear after several vet visits and hundreds of dollars. She began to have other health issues and the vet correctly decided she might have allergies. Antibiotics, prednisone and an allergy shot cleared the problem. She requires allergy shots every two months during spring, summer and fall. The other problem is her back legs especially the left. It seems to slip in and out of the socket. At one point she carried the left to the point that the muscles had atrophied. Pain meds helped and she hasn't carried the leg recently. The muscles are back to normal. Other things I didn't think about: She did not allow me to see the puppies and we met at a McDonalds to exchange puppy and money. I also didn't realize she had so many dogs. I thought they were more like family pets that they bred. In looking at her ads she frequently has puppies for sale. I don't know if my dog was just a fluke or not.
In fairness they were pleasant people. The puppy came with toys, a little bed, feeding bowls, a blanket and several days of food. The puppy was well socialized and cute as a button.
If I ever buy another dog I will ask more questions such as if she has been seen by a vet, are there guarantees that the puppy is healthy, etc. She is a lemon, I don't know how well she will do as she ages, but I love her and she is my lemon

Puppies.com w. – Puppies.com Rep

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get what you were looking for. If the seller misled you have the option to post a testimonial on their Puppies.com account and if they broke their contract you can seek legal action if necessary.

If you were specifically looking for an American Bully, it's advisable to communicate with the breeder or seller about the misunderstanding. They may be able to provide more information or work with you to find a suitable solution.

If you have additional questions please contact us at support@puppies.com.
