差不多4年前,我12岁的孙女拿来一张奶油色杜宾犬的照片给我看。她联系了店主,店主说这只杜宾要90美元。我随后联系了店主,安排见面看狗。见面时,店主解释说她已经失业,养不起这只狗了。我立刻知道这只狗要跟我回家了,因为它的肋骨和髋骨都露出来了,看起来快饿死了。虽然她说价格是90美元,但考虑到她的处境,还有身边那两个大概4岁和6岁(我猜的)哭得伤心欲绝的小女孩——她们因为要失去宠物而难过——我给了她200美元。在此之前我从未听说过"Get Your Pet",因为我12岁的孙女只是给我看了照片和店主的联系方式。店主说她把这只狗挂在了一个宠物领养公司网站上,但她会自己处理费用。几周后,我孙女开始收到Get Your Pet发来的威胁邮件,于是我去查了这家公司。根据他们的说明,所有宠物在挂牌前都会经过兽医检查。任何负责任的兽医都不可能放行一只明显营养不良且病恹恹的狗。与此同时,我们带着这只叫"Champ"的狗去兽医那里打了所有疫苗,并开始给它制定增重计划。大约6个月后,Champ长胖了,看起来健康多了。之后我们给它做了绝育。然后我12岁的孙女开始接到催收公司的电话。我跟他们说明了情况,并指出虽然GYP声称所有狗都经过兽医检查,但这明显是假的。我还告诉他们,原店主说过她会处理那90美元的费用,GYP可以直接联系她。从那以后,催收公司不断发邮件和打电话给我孙女催款。每次我都跟他们解释清楚,但我们还是继续收到邮件和电话。大约一年前,Champ被诊断出患有晚期淋巴瘤,经过多次药物治疗和兽医就诊,最终还是不得不安乐死。现在我明白GYP损失了90美元,但我也知道Champ从未像他们声称的那样经过兽医检查,而且原店主说过会从我的200美元中扣除这笔费用,所以我绝不会给GYP一分钱。即使我告知所有相关人员她只有12岁、应该联系我,催收邮件和电话还是不断打到我孙女那里。虽然只是90美元,我也付得起,但让我给这种态度的公司一分钱,除非太阳从西边出来。如果他们当初直接联系我(我提供了所有联系方式),态度好一些,而不是骚扰一个12岁的孩子,即使我已经付过钱给店主,我也愿意再付一次。现在?不可能。
Horrible website! Terrible, or should I say no customer service. I came across a kitten (purebred Ragdoll) and inquired about said kitten. The guy who I was conversing with was very pushy, which I ignored. First mistake. Gave me some sob story on how his wife died & he couldn’t bare to look at the kitten. We made a plan to meet at a public place, which I made the “meet me” through the website. After I did that, the guy was insisting that I hurry up on the paperwork to get things rolling. He gave me an email address for Zelle (which was some women’s name), it didn’t work. I told him how the emails he were providing weren’t valid. He made it seem like I was the problem. I started getting a bad feeling about this and informed him I didn’t want to continue in the process. He flipped. Told me that he would take the kitten off the website & we could “adopt” her off the website. I have reached out to customer service 5 times, and haven’t heard back. Thankfully I didn’t send him any money. But this website needs to be taken down. It’s nothing but scammers!
If I could give no stars, I would. This is a scam dominant site. Too many fake purebred puppies. The "guardian" asked for money to process paperwork and to hold a pet. There are also puppy brokers on here as they add their phone number to the photo. A simple Google image search showed several were stock photos or taken from other websites. The dog I was interested in had a completely different name on the tag in the photo than in the listing. I contacted their customer service and no on replied. There is no proper vetting of "guardians' or policing of listing. If I, a potential adopter, can find several scams in under 30 minutes, it should be no problem for the people who run the site. I'm concerned an older person or someone less savvy about online scams is going to fall for it. FYI, Since I complained about the listing, besides no response from their customer service, the listing is still up and the number of inquiries has tripled. That's a lot of people being scammed. And from the previous comments here, it's being going on for too long.
