Complaint Review: Sara May - Salado Texas

I do feel badly that you placed your schnauzer in a poorly chosen home. I realize you can't always prevent bad things from happening. I do wonder about anyone who is a 'breeder' and does not realize that altered dogs cannot be shown (unless by a junior handler and only for juniors). Did you make her sign a contract stating if for any reason she could not keep the dog it would be returned to you? I hate to say it but by not protecting yourself you set yourself up to be taken advantage of. I am certainly NOT defending her actions but perhaps take this as a lesson learned. Get a signed contract from now on whenever you pass ownership of a dog on to someone else. Any reputable breeder does this.

This lady sold myself 1 pomeranian puppy a month ago, it passed away the next. My husband was home on leave from Iraq and in turn bought me a chihuahua puppy before returning to Iraq, not knowing it was the same lady I had purchased the pom from. The next day we notice our puppy is so full of worms they are crawling out of her. She has since been very weak, and ill, she has slept most of the time, while shaking and terrified of people. She is also hypoglycemic, which is common in small dogs, but when I asked this backyard puppy mill/breeder, she had no idea what hypoglycemia even was! I have emailed her several times, nothing. I have also filed (as of yesterday) a police report against her, and spoke to the police man myself regarding her. He is doing an investigation (salado police dept) and also, is making sure all of the dogs are in good health and she has to have proof of vaccination, or she is in trouble. He also suggested that everyone who has had problems with this lady sue her. I had an ad about ehr posted on craigslist (Killeen, Austin, & Waco!) and had over 20 responses of people who have bought sick puppies from her.

My friend emailed Sara May after seeing her ad on 2ndhandpets.com today for a papillon: "no i dont have a papillon still. I didnt know he was still on there. Sorry. What kind of dog are you looking for? I have way too many and am looking to get rid of a few. I could get a shipping price for you. I have a male 4 yr old akc black pug. 2 male chihuahuas (not registered). a female 5 month old beagle (not registered) do any of those intrest you? WHAT AGE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? MALE OR FEMALE? ANY PARTICULAR THINGS?" Sara We would like a female that is fixed. "The only 2 I have fixed is a 1 yr old male min pin 10 lbs and a 4 yr old female chihuahua 5lbs. We were asking $150 for the min pin and $200 for the chihuahua. That will include their vet exam to fly them. If that is not what you are looking for let me know and I can look for you. You missed the perfect dog im sorry it was a female schnauzer." Sara She even has the nerve to mention my schnazuer she sold as being "a perfect" dog which she has already sold.
