I had no intention of purchasing from her due to location, Meadow Run is in Washington, I live in Minnesota. I spoke with her over the phone and I could hear how passionate she is about all her dogs and puppies. I actually found it really affordable to take Alaska Air out and Delta back the same day to pick up my pup. Lisa has been a great mentor and is always available for questions. We really feel like a big family as she maintains a Meadow Run Family Facebook group so we can all chat with each other, ask questions, bounce ideas off of each other based on our experiences, and cheer each other on. I own Vinnie, who has shown in conformation and competed in Rally and will start In agility. Lisa is there for it all and keeps up with her puppies activities. This is all in addition to how she starts her puppies ENS, desensitizing activities, a lot of human activities (she shares a lot of live videos of puppy activities, play, cleaning, grooming etc!) You can't go wrong with joining the "Meadow Run Family", the support system is the best! I will definitely get another pup from Lisa in the next few years.

We have our wonderful goofy pup, Mowgli, from her, he is a year and a half now. Every interaction has been very professional and amazing. She charges a carry fair price for everything included with adoption. If you cannot afford it, then you shouldn't bring a pet home with you. Pibble and All Paws rescues so many dogs from certain death. I think that so many people expect a rescue pup to come free, trained, and guaranteed healthy for their lifetime. That's not what owning a pet is. If that's what you want, get a pet rock. Pets are work, and money....but in exchange you get to save a life and unconditional love! Please go add up the cost of traveling from California or Texas, microchip, immunizations and spay/neuter, it definitely isn't free.

Drop-off went smoothly, and she told me she'd text 30 minutes before my puppy, Olive, was ready. I got one update at 9:25 AM saying Olive was doing great--but then nothing. By 12:18 PM, I still hadn't heard anything, so I messaged to check in. That's when I suddenly got a message from a different number, saying I had missed texts (which never showed up on my end). I even sent screenshots proving this, but the groomer insisted it was my fault and accused me of deleting messages--completely untrue and unnecessary. Despite my clear communication, she charged a $60 late fee and refused to release Olive until I paid it. There was no apology, just blame and attitude. She also gave conflicting reasons about why the delay was a problem--first claiming she missed another grooming appointment, then saying it was a doctor's appointment for her son. The grooming itself was fine, but the customer service was shockingly poor. I won't be going back.

Smelled like urine, so not sure if they get taken outside to potty. The only down side my husband and i had was my dog is definetly not mix chihuahua, but i can understand that when they are all so tiny they all look mix chihuahua.We were told she wouldnt shed at all(which i had told my husband that breed sheds a lot anyways), and last but least my dog would NOT potty train outside what so ever until she was pretty much 6months and would occasionally do it a few months after. I would take her out but she would still pee and poop every day as a pup in her blankets so i sadly i couldnt sleep with her as a baby. I wasnt sure if this was because at her old home (furever home) they were all just allowed to pee where they slept so that's all she knew and brought that bad habit over to us. But either way we love our katie and shes grown up to be such a beautiful and wonderl dog.

We'll never know why because he's adorable, but our little Jack Russell-chihuahua mix had been there for a year. They continue to be great members of our family! I have read the reviews here, read the story from the Olympian, and read the comments. Visiting Furever Homes is overwhelming. Its not a conventional shelter. I have had dogs my whole life. My family raised dogs for the Army, and, in the more than 2 hours we spent with the dogs at Furever Homes, we never saw any dangerous or unsanitary conditions. I am disturbed that folks are willing to gloss over the great work the the Gold family is doing because they don't like the smell of a messy dog kennel. The dogs don't care about the smell. The dogs are alive, safe, well fed, loved, and socialized in a pack (which makes them good doggy citizens out in the real world). Adopt a dog from Furever Homes - it's a great organization.

We own a beautiful German Shepard and decided that she needed a little brother and having…read moresuccessfully utilized CL for 15 years to buy and sell thought I would start there. I was hoping to get lucky and locate another wonderful GSD. There are several great local real serious GSD breeders (Von Waldberg for one) but we did not have the budget. So after a very disappointing few days searching through the disappearing, price changing, dubious pedigree, available but suddenly sold, wait for husband to get off work at 4 turning into wife off at 5, vaccinations with no vet records, parents on site but too aggressive to see and other scam dogs...we gave up. FOLKS BE VERY CAREFUL BUYING ANY DOGS ON CRAIGSLIST! Dog craze was at a fever pitch in our the family by now. I started looking for GSD real breeders on line and found several. One that looked good was Majestic Royal German Shepards in Puyallup. When I called the owner was very knowledgeable nice and sincerely listened. From a budget point of view I asked if she might have any " pet quality " pure bred GSDs that did not have to have AKC as we were not going breed or show. She did not at present but said she would ask around her freinds and other breeders (nice touch). Then told me of a freind that had a 7 week old female puppy with "special needs" that she was offering in turn for a good home. Enter Amanda Her little puppy had a condition called mega esophagus which means that the dog has to be seated vertically to be fed soft food and there is always a danger of aspiration pneumonia. After some research they may grow out of it however there is no surgical repair possible and no medication. We pondered and talked about it but felt even as very experienced dog people it would be more than we could handle. Reading between the lines Amanda had been caring for this puppy when most breeders would have put it down. Amanda was a dog lover with a tender heart not just someone in the dog business...cudos. Good sign folks. We declined sadly and were offered a male 10 weeks old and female 7 weeks old that she had that were ready. So Sunday evening my wife son and I headed for Graham...a day and a half drive dropping bread crumbs all the way so we could find our way back to Newcastle (just kidding). We were greeted by a gang of beautiful German Shepards different sizes coats and colors playing in a fenced turn out next to three kids jumping in a trampoline...choices kids another good sign. Amanda approached and escorted us into her compound complete with pigs chickens guinea hens calfs goats a horse and lots of GSDs and puppies all healthy clean thriving and smiling...more good sings. She brought out the male puppy that we had come to see and besides being handsome the little guy was not skiddish (always check) at all or shy and seemed very well adjusted curious clean shiny bright eyes and very cuddly. She then brought out the mother (father owned by Amanda's mother who lives close by) who was beautiful freindly and interacted with her puppy well although not nursing any longer. The puppy played well with mom and the pigs and played "stick" and ball and a little fetch...good sign again! We asked to see the all black female and one of her helpers brought her out and she was in the same condition and behaved in a similar fashion...tough choice. When asked if she had any other ready pups that we should see the helper quickly produced another female same condition in a beautiful sable color...way tough choice now. The three of us held cuddled and played with the three of them for an hour or more. I asked Amanda if she was anxious to find a home for one over the others and she quickly responded that she wanted us to make the right choice and be happy...wow. Now folks this was Sunday evening about dinner time with her two children going back to school after their spring break in the morning and their was no rush by Amanda for us to make our choice...nice customer service. BTW...she found a great home for her little health challenged baby with a local vet tech with children...angels I guess We chose the Black and Tan male with first shots AKC registry chipped with a health quarantee. Her assistant quickly chipped our new pup readied our paperwork efficiently and got us on our way. We excitedly raced home (following the crumbs) holding our new little boy while having a very animated chatter about what we had just experienced. Folks customer service is rare if not missing all together these days but let me tell you that Amanda at Von Tore K9 and her freinds family her GSDs puppies pig pigs and the rest of her menagerie have this down to a science. BTW...had him checked out at our vet with and received a glowing bill of health...not surprised. We highly recommend Von Tore for all of your dog needs check out their site vontorek9.com In love again Ricardo y Julia

After MONTHS of back and forth, she must have finally blocked my number as she refuses to answer my texts or calls. At this point I am looking at legal action since $1000 is no joke.
