I bought a puppy from Maria thinking this would be a great time in my life, boy was I wrong. I knew something was not right when I picked him up; the smell was horrid. She only let me in the front door, and when asked if I could use her restroom as I drove 4 hours to get this puppy, she said no. This place she calls home is worse than any puppy mill. She is a mill, I am sure of that, the filth, the poop, the stink almost made my eyes water.
She brought out the pup, I asked to see the parents she said they were not here.
I paid her half the money before, and this day I paid her in full. Then I took this puppy, a shihtzu that really looked more like a schnauzer. His ears had a bad odor, crusty around his eyes, and dried poop on his poor little behind. I wanted to call ASPCA right then, but I decided to get this guy OUT of this mess.
I went home, bathed him, and hoped he would be all right. He was not. At the vet we realized something was terribly wrong by his actions and his tests. He went down hill all night, the next day he died.
I was beside myself with grief. I tried to call Maria, no answer. I emailed her, no anwer, I tried this for over 4 weeks, and nothing.
I had my attorney send her a letter, still no reply. She sold me a sick pup, in horrid conditions, and when the poor little guy died, she did not care, she has her money.
DO NOT buy from Maria Timmerman in New York. Puppy mill for sure. I am calling the aspca on her as my last resort, maybe this will at least keep some poor fool from going through what I did. I just moved from New York to Chicago or I would be on her door step, I still may!!!
I learned one thing - check out where you buy from. I should have known, she has a website that is a bit on the strange side, my fault too for not checking up on her.
