    Im giving 1 star because theres no option to give zero. Ive had the pup I purchased from A Heart for Puppies for just over a year now. It took about 8 months to clear up all of the issues he arrived with. He came to my home dirty and smelling of excrement. He had visible worms in his f**** and stuck to the fur all down his back legs. He also had Giardia, a highly contagious parasite that took months of treatment to get rid of. *** at A Heart for Puppies was shocked and offered to pay for treatment, which I could have followed up on but was so disgusted I didnt want to talk to him anymore. He also offered to take the pup back, which I never even considered as an option after seeing his condition. Im not sure why the reviews are so positive for this company because I cant imagine Im the only one who has experienced this. At the end of the day, my family and I have a wonderful companion, cuddly and sweet and hilarious. Having said that, it was an expensive journey to bring him from the sickly, bony little guy he was to where he is today. In the spirit of transparency, *** told me that everyone is welcome to visit his lovely facility, and maybe his facility is nice. I cant speak to that, because I didnt go, but my pup would have stuck out like a sore and matted thumb if he had been kept in a reputable facility. I am of the opinion that he was kept at an offsite location. I dont believe that the owners of this business are acting in good faith or with the health of the puppies they sell in mind. I am so happy to have my furry ****** but the memory of his condition when he arrived still makes me feel sick for him.

    A Heart for Puppies Response

    12/27/2023

    I am sorry to hear of your experience with A Heart For Puppies. I will break right into answering these grievances:

    Our reviews are 5-star and excellent because our clients know we are 5-star and excellent. Those who know us and do visit our facilities know the care and love with which we raise our puppies. 

    To say this is an embellishment is to be very kind to you. If our puppy arrived to you in the condition you describe, the airline would have turned us in to the ***** at minimum. I am shocked, to say the least, to be accused of abuse and neglect when you refuse to, at minimum, call ******, ***** or our veterinarian to have someone from a governing agency come to our facility to investigate your claims against us. Did you call the airlines to ask why the puppy arrived in such a condition? 

    I invite you to come to our facility, but you already have a rebutal for that, as well; we probably have another facility. 

    You do not know us, yet reference us as liars, not acting in good faith. Does it make sense that we would keep a puppy such as you described only to send it to a client? I am unsure of what your motivations are against us, but you have been far less than honest with us and with this review. None of it makes sense and ultimately - Shame on you if any of what you said is true and you have done nothing more than submit a review.

    I do thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are always striving to improve our processes.

    Blessings to you,

     

    Mac
