    This business is a FRAUD & DISREPUTIBLE. They are thieves and have stolen my money and my dog. On 12/14/23 I purchased a teacup Yorkie and have the contract they faxed. I asked where they lived, they advised Cleveland, Ohio. I requested they deliver. He gave me a quote of $125 price for that and quickly added they took ****** to the Vet the day before for her final check so I owed them $65 for that (another $190). I advised I would pay the delivery fee and the Vet bill when I had the dog. He became indignant. That was not good enough for him. I said you already have my 200 (that had another mans name on it for the ***** payment, for little Miss ****** and 150 for the dog toys and bed,, so you have my $350 so you know that I am good for the delivery fee... etc. etc. I was to send the additional money to another man and the money for dog items went to another woman...not the Brenda G******, listed above and the delivery fee to another man, not Ray T**********, listed above. Also on the 200 dollar ***** payment stated the 200. INCLUDED THE DELIVERY FEE...I am completely devastated and if he returns my money I will cease this. I am just getting started. This was off of ******** *********. I have the contract he faxed to prove I purchased this little dog. But EVERYONE needs to know what is going on here. Interesting the address you have listed is in Buffalo, not Cleveland. We all understand scams occur but this was SO BLATANT and he was so rude and demanding AFTER he had my money. So, if I do not send the balance, sorry about my luck. He sold the dog to me for 200 but my contract states I paid 500 so with the 150 I purchased all the toys.and dog items, he owes me 650. I am thrilled to have found this site. I will be researching many areas to alert people like myself. I don't have much but decided that ****** would be perfect to keep me company. I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK TO BACK up this information.

    I paid Thistlewood Ray $150 on October 24, 2023 via **** *** for a deposit for a Yorkie puppy. He emailed me a receipt and a contract. He then told me the balance would be due at time of delivery. We agreed to meet half way and I would pay an additional $65 for the half way delivery. Then 1 week later he told me that I needed to send him another $100 for the vet bill and that the $100 would come off my total due. At first I didn't agree because he was going back on his word, but since I was the one to cancel on the first weekend, I agreed and sent it November 4, 2023 via *****. We were then supposed to meet on November 11th. He wrote me and said his aunt died and he couldn't meet me until November 18th. I knew this was all a scam once he started asking for more money. He is still trying to get me to send him more money for another vet bill.
