I have been looking for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel online under Puppy Find's web page. I purchased my first dog thru them and are happy. One day a 4 mo. Old female blenheim puppy came up for $300. They usually sell for $700-$2,000. OK I will check it out. I emailed inquiring about the dog and why so cheap. I received an email from Dannon Holler about a Rev. Francis Barker that was sent to W. Africa to do missionary work and just wanted a christian home for the puppy. The email went on to say how lucky I was to inqiure because the puppy was just placed for adoption. I was given an email address of [email protected].
I emailed the Rev. Wanting more photos and info about the puppy since only one photo was posted. I went to the Puppy Find site to check out the dog again and the listing was removed. I do remember that it was a suburb west of Chicago because I mapsquest the drive to pick up the dog. I did not receive a reply in my inbox but did find a reply from the Rev.in my Spam folder. Apparently the Rev. Wanted money to ship the dog from AFRICA and wanted my information so the shipper could send the dog. So he took the dog to Africa? Right. I believe that. The email from Dannon Holler leads you to believe that the dog was left here in the US and put up for adoption until someone could take it. Another Scam only now it is hitting those individuals trying to help out a fellow pet lover.
