Donna Foss Mountain Valley Shih Tzu Sold a puppy mill shih tzu, with fake vet papers and dates when shots were given Athens Maine
Three years ago Donna Foss sold me a female shih tzu puppy, when receiving puppy I was supposed to meet Donna with my puppy. However, her daughter showed up with the dog....I was speaking to her daughter and asked about my dogs vet papers...she told me her mom would send them within the next few days in the mail. I also spoke with her daughter enough to find out that her mom had over 60! shih tzus!!!! My heart dropped, knowing that she was running a puppy mill. It made sense to me as she always always had new litters for sale on her website. Also I learned that my dog wasn't vet checked, and that Donna's daughter was getting the vaccine shots from online and giving the puppys their shots from the breeding grounds. Donna gaurentees all her dogs are vet checked and have had their first set of shots and have been dewormed! I was pretty upset after picking up my puppy, and went home to do some research, but first my puppy had her first trip to the vet. At the vet I found out she has a severe underbite, and large protruding eyes. Luckily I am a groomer and have been grooming my dog and haven't had to worry about a groomer knicking her eyes. Also, the first night i brought my dog home I found she had fleas! Yuck! and that is so bad for puppys! They can eat a dog alive!
As the week past I did not receive any papers from Donna on my dog....after continuously sending her emails, I finally got some papers in the mail three months later! I received a index card with the dates my dog had her shots, no vet papers...and one of the dates my dog had her shots said a day after I had gotten her!!! It was a joke, she had written fake dates on a index card! And also i had gotten a paper saying who her father and mother were, in writing I couldn't even read! I did my research and spoke with some local shih tzu breeders who I would of loved to of gotten a puppy from them but they were just out of my price range. One breeder noted that Donna sold a yorki-shih tzu cross to a lady who picked out a shih tzu from her website and got a totally different dog!!!!!!! I complained to several places and Maine and finally had gotten a call from animal controls wanting to know more about my story a year later because they wanted to bring Donna down.
Well guess what, her website is still running and her puppies and information is posted all over the web. She is also breeding yorkies now! I noticed now her address has changed to a P.O box...but I still have her original address! All I have to say is, there are too many puppy mills out there and they need to be brought down! I love my dog more than anything, but I definitely didn't get what I paid for.

To Donna I would like to rectify the statement I made toward puppymills or breeders not once in any comment left on Rioff report .com Did I leave a comment directed toward donna shih-tzus. I have no knowledge of her or her lifestyle with her perfectshihtzus. I call all shihtzusperfect I love the breed but as anyone can clearly see this whole ripoffreport on donna is targeting michelle as the perp and I have nothing to do with it. anytime candice name pops up I know there is scandal and half if any truths. I have had a problem with this candice trying to make friends with me and I will have nothing to do with her if anyone would like to see her and I conversations. please review past posts.
Candice thank u but If I Michelle Sainz has something to say to anyone Iwill do my own posting k? no aliases here. you got me mixed up with somebdy else. Thank you Donna for allowing me to use your post. and clear my name that someone is trying to destroy.

I agree with the timothy in forkland al report. stop buying the puppies from these kinds of people. I think everyone should do research on any breeders. If there is always puppies for sale hello puppymill. 2 litters or less per year yes. but make sure of it we as people sometimes think with emotion.

A few years ago Donna sold me a sweet little shih tzu. However, the day after I got him I brought him to the vet for a puppy check up to find out he had a double ear infection, umbillical hernia and coccidia (a bacterial infection to the intestines caused from ingesting fecal material in unsanitary conditions) He was immediately put on antibiotics and perscription food. I contacted donna who told me not to worry the shih tzu would be fine. A few days later he was throwing up blood and when he went out to go to the bathroom his intestines fell out of his butt. It was awful. completely awful. to make a long story short he died. Donna refused to pay me back or relpace him until a year later when I had a huge lawsuite filed against her. I also reported her to the Animal Welfare of Maine and they did a huge investigation on her finding that she was selling sick puppies all over the world and even some out of the back of her car to pet stores. do not buy any dog from Mountain Valley. My 3,000 vet bills are still not paid off, and my broken heart from watching this innocent puppy die will never go away.

this report is a poor excuse for a human to breed animals when they can go to puppy find and surely see there is an overpopulation of animals. But do you care? Donna,? or any breeder? Just keep producing same breed so price comes down and down and down for what? because breeders with some very few exceptions are lazy and would rather breed an animal 6 times or more. Ladies do you have 6 children? Did each time something new problem come out like neck or back or migranes? Why do you do it to helpless pets oh excuse me not pets stock,flock, and then the quality. will they live past 2 years old if someone is crossbreeding ckc whatever? those little Taco Bell Dogs was over 3,600 on puppyfind alone shut it down. do not buy from puppy sites.
