A Bad Feeling ...AGAIN!!

I seen another 12 week old pup on puppyfind this morning, sounded too much like the other day. I emailed using one of my junk email accounts just in case it was the same person..sure enough!! Here's the response I got just incase someone else sees this and thinks that it's legitimate. Message is word for word as first one, just changed the names. I would hate to see someone out there think that they were helping find a pup a home and get taken.

"You're lucky to have mailed at this time because the puppy has just been placed on
adoption by one of my customers, who went on a Missionary transfer with the West African
Missionaries, West Africa . he is giving the pup up for adoption for $350 because he cant
take good care of the pup due to his busy and tight schedule at church and at his
missionary work. All he wants is someone that's homely and a caring person to adopt this
young and lovely human best friend." he will give the Puppy to you if you promise to take
good care of the puppy. he needs a neat and caring home for his puppy because he really
wants the puppy to go to a good home. If you are willing to take the puppy contact the
Reverend at ( revrobertharmony@gmail.com )
Thanks"

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this. I am not a fan of puppyfind, to be honest. Have you put an app in for Max? He's a young, super cute boy! He had a rough start in life and I'm sure would appreciate a nice loving home.
I'm not sure if I found the right Max. I located one, but he was much older. I think I'm just trying too hard right now, we'd welcome the right dog anytime.

Oh, that's an easy fix!!

In fact, you're in luck! Our board member Lulu&Michelle is fostering this sweet boy! In your previous post, she encouraged you to PM her with any questions.

Don't let the fact that the rescue is in Texas detour you... they have adopted dogs to the north before. I think the recently adopted two to Illinois not long back!

Then again, you could do what I did with Levi. I stumbled upon his ad, called them up, and HAD to rescue him. He's the sweetest boy and I'm quickly becoming smitten.
Puppyfind is not the place to find a dog, whatever the breed.
If this link doesn't work, just do a search of the forum using puppyfind as your keyword: search.php?keywords=Puppyfind&terms=all&author=+&sc=1&sf=firstpost&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Many other resources list horror stories about dogs people bought on puppyfind as well. It's just not worth the risk. Find a reputable breeder, or go through a rescue group.
That "Reverend" scam has been going on for at least a few years now.

I totally agree. If this is the price range you need to stay within, please buy an illness and accident policy... one that specifically states it will cover genetic conditions so you can afford to pay for medical care if the need arises. Medical care is so expensive.

Good luck to you!
Oh My! I just looked at those pictures. Max is a real cutie! And only eight months old. I'm in love...(but my hubby would kill me).
