On April 29th, as a favor to my brother, I went to see a woman named Andrea Theodore, who placed an ad on olx.com, which is sort of a free online ad service, like craigslist. Andrea asked me to meet her at a store in Aventura, called Yorkilicious, and when I got there, Julie was there. Andrea was acting as a salesperson. The store is located at 19096 W Dixie Highway, in Aventura. It's a very small dog boutique that sells bowls and dog clothes.in the back, there were two cages on the floor, each with several puppies inside. Julie told me that she breeds the dogs in her house but she can't sell dogs out of her house because it's illegal, so she sells them out of her boutique. I was told I couldn't handle the pups because they were too young, and did not have their shots yet. I thought this was odd. I called my brother's wife from the store, told her I thought it was a little odd, the way that this Andrea person was kinda like a middle man, but she wanted the puppy so I gave Andrea the money and left with a receipt for the dog. I also insisted that Julie give me a copy of the Health Certificate which she didn't want to do, but reluctantly did. She gave me a copy of a generic Health Certificate that she had filled out herself.
On May 8th, the puppy was shipped to my brother in Texas. Immediately, his girlfriend Evelyn said the dog didn't look like the same dog she sent her pictures of.in any event she was so excited about the dog she didn't make a big deal about it. The dog was sick almost immediately after they got her. She was having seizures and weak. They took her to the vet where she stayed for a week. She was infested with internal parasites and bacteria. She was so frail she could barely walk or stand. After a week in the vet, the pup was sent home and they had to wake up every 2 hours to feed her. They tried everything they could to keep her alive and get her better, but she died in my brother's arms.
After the pup died, they contacted Julie. Julie told them that the puppy was perfectly healthy when she sent her, and that she probably got sick at the airport or from something on the plane. This was not the case, because she obviously did not get parasites and bacteria on the plane, she was obviously in a very filthy place before she came to them. Julie said she would send them a new puppy but they told her they want their money back. Julie started telling them that her husband had a heart attack and she was dealing with that. Of course, this is just an excuse because now she wont return their calls or answer when they call. I've read similar stories ALL OVER the internet.
And that's it... They are out the 1380.00 they sent her for the dog, and they are out the money for their vet bills trying to save this poor little angel.
