Texas great dane rescue. Adopted our dog from them come to find out she had staph on her skin and a yeast infection in her ear! I was given her paperwork when i picked her up, but all that it contained was her shot records from march.. We adopted her in nov. They told me she previously had heart worms and was treated, the only thing that was in her records was that she tested positive in march! I decided to take her for her check up to our vet thats when we found out she had the staph and ear infection, and tested positive for heart worms! I immediately contacted the director of the rescue, no call for 6 hrs! I threatened to stop payment of our $350 payment for our adoption if i did not get a call to find out why she tested positive for heart worms! She then called my husband and told him the dog never itched the spot where she had staph before it must be the beniful food we are feeding her, and she wanted to pick up the dog, my husband told her that would never happen! She told us she was treated in oct for heart worms, but of course we were never given records for this, or made aware of this! I then had her call me back that evening when jo ellen the director called me back she called me a bitch at the start of the conversation because i threatened to stop payment because i wanted her treatment records, and was told she wanted to pick up the dog, i told her no way! I also told her, how could a rescue knowingly place a dog with staph in a home with a toddler! They had done a home check and application! She proceeded to threaten to bring an officer over to get the dog, i laughed and hung up on her! Update! —the dog is with us, and over 500 later we have her on many medications for her staph and ear infection, and still paid the director for the dog, because i will not be the bad guy in this! I got the paperwork from them at potranco vet, it was so screwed up!!! She was treated for heart worms in oct, that is 8mts after knowing she was sick! The paperwork is written in jumble, dates are backwards, my vet could not believe it! Our dog is happy now with a forever home, we will have her rechecked in march for heart worms. Please beware when you adopt from them!!! This director is vicious and does not care about these animals!!!
