My puppy did NOT come microchipped as promised, I found out when I took my puppy to the vet and when asked she said it was out of stock and she forgot to tell me. I realized my puppy had a leaking urine issue very early on and when I discussed with Melanie she said it could be because the puppy was still too young and didn't have much control over her bladder. As time went on, the leaking issue continues. I have had to pay almost 2 thousands dollars on her medical just regarding the leaking issue since she keeps getting UTIs and infections in her private area and her belly. After running some tests, Xray and Ultrasound, doctor suggested that my puppy has ectopic ureter and surgery and extra tests would be needed to hopefully fix the issue, which would cost me about $7000. I then informed Melanie about the doctor's finding as I always have since this is the condition that she was born with and insurance will not cover it. I have been nothing but patient and nice to Melanie as I understand things can happen but needed to say, she never responded to my messages, her Facebook and website have been shut down. Please DO NOT buy a puppy from her. This is certainly NOT the way you handle business, treating customers and treating puppies/dogs. Attached is a few of the messages between me and Melanie.

VERY DISAPPOINTED -- MY DOG NEEDS HER EYE MEDICATION…read more I am extremely disappointed with SoFlo Animal Rescue/Pet Clinic and the way my dog's prescription has been handled. For over a week, I have been trying to get approval for a refill of my dog's prescription eye drops through Chewy. Chewy has been very helpful and has repeatedly tried to contact the clinic for authorization, but the prescription still has not been approved. I have also tried calling the clinic myself many times. I cannot get a real person on the phone, only an automated/AI answering system. I have even gone to the location several times trying to get help, and I have not been able to get this resolved. This is not something that can simply be ignored. My dog has serious problems with her vision and needs her prescribed eye medication. I should not have to spend more than a week calling, going to the clinic, and asking Chewy to repeatedly contact them just to get a prescription refill authorized. When an animal depends on medication, communication and timely prescription approval are extremely important. I am very upset and disappointed with the lack of response and the difficulty getting anyone to help. I hope someone from the clinic sees this review, contacts me, and takes care of my dog's prescription immediately. No pet owner should have to go through this when their animal needs medication.

PUPPY MILL NOTICE - BREEDER INFO AND CHARGES BELOW: PATRICIA…read moreROWE - 10791 ORIAN ROAD SHERIDAN, MO 64486 - Public records https://www.humaneworld.org/sites/default/files/docs/101-problem-puppy-mills.pdf (PAGE 18) LUIS GONZALEZ- 22111 DAWN DRIVE MILAN, MO 63556 - Public records https://www.humaneworld.org/sites/default/files/docs/HSUS_Horrible-Hundred-2023.pdf (PAGE 13) Both of these breeders have failed USDA inspection reports; showing multiple problems at Rowe's Family Kennel, including excessive accumulations of feces, dogs outside in the cold in January, and dirty food. At Breeder Luis Gonzalez's location a puppy was found "lethargic and cold to the touch," another dog was underweight with his ribs and spine showing; the facility had over 500 dogs." I am beyond outraged by the inhumane and negligent treatment of these animals at Forever Love Puppies in Pembroke Park. We purchased two puppies: a 3-month-old Chihuahua and a 2-month-old Pomeranian. They came home sick. No family should ever experience the fear and financial burden of bringing home a puppy only to find out it is already ill. The so-called "complimentary" veterinary visit that this store "gifts" buyers to use is completely misleading. Our puppies were never examined by a veterinarian, yet we were assured by a staff assistant that they were "perfect" without any tests or physical examination. Side note on this fraud of a clinic: When I walked out of the examination room, there was a dead dog on the bench next to a lady in the waiting room. Such a level of unprofessionalism or disrespect is unbelievable. The attendant called someone to "come get the body". Didn't offer a room for the lady to grieve and choose the urn made her pay and choose in front of everyone with her dead dog on the bench behind her. Days later, our Chihuahua puppy ended up in the emergency room severely dehydrated with signs of Ataxia, a neurological symptom. The result? Over $1,200 in emergency veterinary bills and weeks of emotional distress, all of which could have been avoided with proper care and honest medical screening. We were told that a simple fecal test would have immediately detected Giardia. That basic test was never performed, even though the paperwork states otherwise. We took our boys to our private veterinarian, and both were diagnosed with Giardia. Even more disturbing is the breeder listed on our paperwork. A quick search reveals serious public concerns tied to this breeder. When we looked up the address ourselves using publicly available satellite imagery, the location appears to be a barn-like structure with no visible evidence of adequate shelter or proper housing facilities. At the time, temperatures were around 32 degrees. The thought of vulnerable puppies being housed and possibly transported in those conditions is horrifying. The fact that this store continues to source from breeders surrounded by red flags demonstrates either a shocking lack of due diligence or a complete disregard for animal welfare and consumer protection. There is also a publicly available news report involving the owner's son, Larry Master, which every potential buyer should watch before considering a purchase. Reports and documentation show that puppies are transported in freezing temperatures, with hundreds crammed into trucks and distributed to pet stores across the country. These are living, breathing animals, not merchandise, not inventory, not commodities. This entire experience was irresponsible, unethical, and deeply disturbing. If you care about animal welfare, please do your research. Seek out truly reputable, transparent breeders or consider adoption. No puppy deserves to suffer for the sake of profit, and no family deserves to bring home heartbreak instead of joy. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/lawsuits-forever-love-puppies-accused-of-selling-sick-dogs-11711531/

I found this breeder online when searching for a new frenchie puppy. Our frenchie passed away about…read more2 months ago and it has been very difficult for my fiancee and I to find the right puppy to get since then. I emailed Debbie, the owner, initially in the evening and we started chatting via email right away and she was quick to respond. I asked her if she still had the 2 blue pied females that were on her website and she did. We were extra interested in "Aubrey" a little blue pied female. The next morning we called her at 6:30am (9:30am her time) and we spoke with her on the phone and asked if she was still available for reserve. She told us that Aubrey was available but that a lady that she has been talking to the last few days was going to come and look at her that afternoon and may buy her. I specifically asked her if we could just buy her right then to prevent her from being sold to someone else and she told me that it would be rude to do that and that she should still let the lady come and look at her since they had a scheduled appointment set up, which we understood and respected even though we thought we'd try. She was very nice and told me that she would text or call me as soon as the lady met Aubrey to tell me if she planned on buying her or not. That appointment was not until around 1:30 her time (11:30am my time). She called me at 9:30am my time (2 hours before they planned to meet) and let me know that the lady called and let her know that she would not be able to make it that day and that at this point she was first come first serve. I was of course very excited and let her know that I just needed to call my fiancee and make sure that we were ready to commit on Aubrey and to figure out how we were going to pay her, since she is across the country from us. When I initially started emailing Debbie I asked her if there was any other way of paying her other than cash or cashiers check, because I was a little uncomfortable with the thought of sending someone whom I've never met or heard of before $4000 cash, as I'm sure that would be anyone's concern. She let me know that cash or cashiers check was the only form of payment she accepted and that she could provide me with references if I'd like. At that point that made me feel more comfortable, and I knew I had no other options and I felt that was ok after all. Not even 15 minutes later my fiancee called Debbie and told her that we would like to buy Aubrey and that we've made a decision. Aubrey was 9 weeks, pushing 10 weeks, so my fiancee politely asked if she was negotiable on her price at all since she was a little bit older and explained that other breeders are usually flexible on the price regardless of the age. She explained that she is firm on the price and that she will not be lowering it. Jeff understood and is one of the least confrontational people I know, and just thought he would give it a try to save a little bit of money since we would be paying for shipping and she was a little older than we would have liked. He let her know that was alright, understood why she was firm on price and let her know that we want her and that we just need to figure out how we were going to get her the money, whether our friend who lives in Miami would give her the money or if we would mail her a check/cash. Right after this conversation I called her and asked her if we needed to put a deposit down on Aubrey so that Debbie would not sell her to anyone else and she said, "That is not necessary, she is 9 weeks and at this point you would just need to pay full price, and I will put her on "Reserve" so no one else can buy her." I told her that if we mail her a cashiers check it will take a couple of days to get to her, and she said that was fine, the puppy will be on reserve. Keep in mind, at this point we have not been communicating with this lady for more than 3 hours total trying to figure out if we could have the dog and how we'd pay for the dog since she's across the country. Within about 30-45 minutes my fiance and I figure out which form of payment we were going to do (mail her a cashiers check) and we gave her a call. No answer. We called her again a couple hours later...no answer. We started to get a little worried and finally reached her on our third attempt. She answered and immediately let us know she just showed another family the puppy and let them take her home. No sorry, no remorse, or anything. I could not believe that within a couple hours of talking to Debbie she gave away the dog that she said would be put on reserve for us. I would not suggest doing business with this breeder and do not get your hopes up if you see a puppy you want to buy from her. There are many other great french bulldogs in her area and everywhere.

this review is for the ADOPTION/'SANCTUARY' & please note it should not reflect on 'Shanna' at all,…read moreshe's a saint and the singular star that I've given is to be dedicated to her. It's taken me over a year to write this, as I was so livid when everything first went down I decided to give myself time to process. As a lifelong cat lover and owner, I cannot in good faith recommend anyone adopt from this 'sanctuary' due to the following situation I endured: I visited Purr rescue in January of 2025 looking for a second cat as I already had 1 rescue from the Humane Society. I fell in love with a little black cat named Usher via their website and made an appointment that same week to visit all of the cats, but knew I had a sweet spot for 'Usher' and was going there with her in mind. When I got there I was told she was the vet tech's (unfortunately I don't remember his name) favorite cat and he paid special attention to her, *this will be relevant in a moment. I would go on to adopt Usher that same week and take her home a week later. I was told she needed to be quarantined, fully examined nose to tail, given her latest vaccines, etc and given a clean bill of health prior to me taking her from the sanctuary... which I was elated to hear she was 100% healthy and ready to be taken home the following week. She's a bit of a c*nty anti-social kitty to begin with, as all they told me was she was abandoned at the VCA at 6 months old with 3rd degree burns on her back and has a bald spot - as a fellow burn survivor (that can also possess a c*nty attitude, it was love at first sight). Very shortly after having her home and monitoring her 24/7 (i work from home) I noticed something wasn't right and decided to take her to my family vet who I love and trust. It was then that I was informed: - she had such advanced level gingivitis and stomatitus that she would need to have ALL of her teeth removed immediately. - it seemed as though several of her teeth were already missing due to the horrid state of her mouth and NO ONE mentioned this to me. - she had bad infections in both ears and would need ongoing treatment for that as well. I CRIED MY EYES OUT. imagine adopting a new baby, being told they're 100% healthy and have a clean bill of health, falling in love with them more day by day and then being told my your family vet that they need to be taken into surgery immediately due to the deteriorating composition of their entire oral cavity, as well as severe ear infections. AS IF MATTERS COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE... Natalie (i hope you and your superiors all see this) handled both the situation and myself BEYOND UNPROFESSIONALLY and extremely defensive (i have other choice words for her, but I'll let you all use your imaginations). Alluding to the fact this may have happened under my care, ZERO EMPATHY AT ALL as I sit on the phone balling my eyes out about everything this poor little cat is having to endure, and was BERATING me while trying to uphold the 'integrity' of their operation without EVER acknowledging how horrid the whole thing was. She was ABSOLUTE HELL to deal with and I cannot believe they keep her there as a 'site manager' or whatever her made-up title is. She should NEVER interact with clients. She has a horrible reputation in the rescue circuit and evidently has been this way for YEARS but for some reason they keep her on payroll. Contractually Purrr was required to cover the cost of surgery and I went to a surgery center that they partner with, where the Doctor (who was lovely and not affiliated with Purrr in anyway) confirmed for me this was 100% a case where the cat had 'slipped through the cracks' in the system. And let me say, I get that. I understand that they are taking in 100's of cats and accidents do happen ... but due to the way it was handled so poorly, no accountability was taken, and I was never reached out to by the senior leaders or apologized to by anyone other than Shanna, unfortunately I cannot and will not forgive them for this 'accident' - nor can I suggest them to anyone I know & love in good faith.
