DogsNow
reviews and complaints

This website called DogsNow is a complete scam, folks. They will send you pictures of someone else's dog and make you and your kids fall in love with it over the internet. Then, they will start asking for money and make promises of delivering the puppy to your doorstep. But, in reality, they are just sucking as much money as they can from you and leaving you with a broken heart and an empty wallet. I have read the reviews and I am glad that I didn't spend any money on this website.

One of the scammers on this website is using two different phone numbers, ***534 and ***656, which both go to his Google Voice number. He will only text you and ask for your email and what kind of puppy you are looking for. Then, you will receive an email that is a sob story, which is copied and pasted from the oldest Craigslist scammers.

I strongly advise you to avoid these horrible and horrendous people at all costs. Even the DogsNow website has the same "watch out for scams" warning that Craigslist has. DogsNow says to report bad people, but there is no way to do so.

Please, don't walk, RUN from this horrible place that uses our love of animals to suck your credit card dry. It's a complete waste of time and money.

I recently had a terrible experience with DogsNow, a website that claims to help people find their perfect furry companion. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a scam that involved fake French bulldog puppies and a shady shipping agency.

The scammers used the names Tom Flare and Michael Trough, and they claimed to be located at 3106 Early St. NW in Atlanta, GA. They even used the same photos of puppies that had been used in previous scams. I was told that my puppy was in New Mexico and that I would need to pay $1850.00 for shipping containers. They wouldn't give me the name of the shipping company, and they wanted me to pay via MoneyGram.

I was stupid enough to consider paying the extra $450 they wanted from me, but thankfully I was smart enough to do some research first. I found out that the shipping agency was not a real government agency, and that the whole thing was a scam. I was lucky enough to be contacted by someone else who had been scammed by the same people, and we were able to share information and avoid losing any money.

I don't blame DogsNow entirely for this scam, but I do think they need to do a better job of vetting their clients. They claim to be a trustworthy resource for people looking for dogs, but they need to be more careful about who they allow to use their platform. Their favorite saying is "Please trust us," but I would advise anyone looking for a dog to be very cautious and do their own research before making any transactions.

In conclusion, I would not recommend DogsNow to anyone looking for a dog. There are too many scammers out there, and it's not worth the risk. If you do decide to use their website, please be very careful and don't trust anyone too easily. And if you do fall victim to a scam, don't be afraid to speak out and warn others. Together, we can help put an end to these scams and protect innocent people and animals.

I've been on the hunt for a Welsh Pembrooke Corgi puppy for a good month now, and my first search led me to DogsNow. I stumbled upon an ad for a Corgi puppy located in Colorado, and the seller claimed to be in the military and needed to find a home for two puppies - one male and one female. I expressed my interest in the male puppy, but I had to wait until I got paid. The seller, a lady, agreed to hold the puppy for me, but I had a gut feeling that something wasn't right. So, I decided not to proceed with the purchase.

After that, I started looking for local sellers in the Washington DC and Virginia area. I found three potential sellers, but things didn't go smoothly. Two of them never responded to my inquiries, and the one that did gave me a sob story about his daughter passing away and how the puppies were hers. He wanted to sell them for $300 each, which seemed like a good deal. However, when I asked to see the puppies before purchasing them, he changed his story and said he was relocating to Texas the next day. He offered to ship the puppies from Texas at a later date, but I insisted on seeing them first. That was the end of our communication.

Buyer beware! DogsNow may have some good deals, but it's also a breeding ground for scammers. Don't trust anyone until you've seen the puppies in person.

Dogsnow.com is a website that we had a bad experience with. We were looking for a toy poodle puppy and we found a great deal. We paid the amount that was asked for and then the breeder said the puppy was going to arrive at our house. They asked us to pay more money afterwards. They said when the puppy arrived at our house they would refund the money. So we paid the money and then they said the dog was ready to be shipped. Then, they asked for double the money for Health insurance, so we refused and they got angry. We said we wanted proof of a picture, a video, or something that they had the puppy in a cage already at the airport ready to be sent. But they refused to send us a picture or a video because they said they were going to get fired. They sent us a video of a similar dog that looked like it was at someone's house and was not in a cage, or ready at the airport. They threatened us that we would go to jail because of animal abandonment. They used a random house address, one that they didn't even live in, and used a legitimate company name that doesn't even send puppies! They kept telling us that the puppy was ready to be shipped, but kept asking us for more and more money. It was not fair! We do not recommend using this sketchy website. Do not buy any dog on this website!

DogsNow website is a total scam! They send you emails with sad stories to make you feel bad, and then they start asking about you. I was emailing this guy named Peter, who had a North Carolina area code but said he now lives in North Dakota. He listed North Carolina because he was trying to get rid of the puppies faster. He then gave me a sob story about how he was in the military and had a bad accident. He just wanted his puppies to go to a loving home. We emailed back and forth for a couple of days, and I even spoke with him on the phone. I couldn't understand him because he didn't speak good English!

The day came when he was going to send the puppy to a delivery carrier. I asked him the carrier's name, and he gave me a link to http://www.usaircargo.yolasite.com/. DO NOT TRUST this site! It's a total scam! Yolasite is a site where anyone can create their own site for free. I emailed him back and asked for another picture of the puppy and asked him to write today's date on a sheet of paper. He totally went off on me, saying he had already dropped off the puppy. I knew then that it was definitely a scam!

An hour later, my boyfriend found the same puppy on a different website in the GA area with the same number as Peter. So be careful! He didn't get me, so I'm helping you! :)

I recently had an experience with DogsNow (dogsnow.com) that I wanted to share. My wife and I are retired and we recently lost our beloved 15.5-year-old bichon to old age. We were heartbroken and wanted to find another bichon to fill the void in our lives. That's when we came across DogsNow, a website that connects buyers with sellers of dogs.

We found a seller on the site who was advertising five bichon frise puppies for sale for $500 each. The ad said that the puppies were located in Sanford, NC, which is about an hour away from where we live. We contacted the seller via text and they sent us several pictures of what they claimed were 11-week-old bichons.

At first, we were excited and ready to drive to Sanford to pick out a puppy. But then the seller asked us to send them $200 via Applepay, specifically via Apple 'Friends & Families'. As someone who used to work in IT security for the federal government, this set off my 'spidey sense'. I knew that sending money via Applepay in this way was not secure and could potentially be a scam.

I suggested that we use PayPal instead, but the seller said they would have to use their daughter's PayPal account and sent me an email address and name. When I tried to send the money, PayPal had no record of that name having an account and would not send any money through the email address. This made me even more suspicious.

I told the seller that I could not send them any money but would drive to Sanford the next day and pay full price in person. However, after that, they stopped communicating with us altogether. This made me even more convinced that this was a scam.

Upon closer inspection of the pictures they sent us, we noticed that they appeared to be random photos of bichon puppies. One photo had a black person's hands holding the puppy, while another had a white person's hands. Additionally, two of the photos were taken outside with trees fully leaved and bright green grass, which is not typical for the end of January.

Overall, our experience with DogsNow was disappointing and frustrating. We were hoping to find a new furry friend to bring into our home, but instead, we encountered a potential scam. We urge others to be cautious when using this site and to always do their due diligence before sending any money or making any commitments.

I was looking for a new furry friend and stumbled upon DogsNow (dogsnow.com). At first, I was a bit skeptical because I had heard of scams happening with online pet purchases. However, I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I found a beautiful male Maltipoo for sale in Daphne, Alabama. The ad had all the necessary information, including the breed, sex, age, and price. The seller even provided additional comments about the pup's vaccination and toilet training status. I was thrilled and decided to contact the seller.

Unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived. The seller turned out to be a fraud. We had several email exchanges, and when I asked about the pup in the advertisement, she avoided the question. Eventually, she admitted that the pictured pup had been sold, and she only had two left. I also noticed that her location kept changing - from Homewood to Chicago to Daphne, Alabama. It was clear that she was trying to scam people with that beautiful pup in the ad.

Despite my negative experience, I still believe that DogsNow is a great resource for finding a new furry friend. However, it's important to be cautious and do your research before making any purchases. Always check the seller's credibility and ask for additional information about the pup. And, as the website advises, avoid potential areas of fraud like wire transfer, moneygrams, money orders, cashier checks, shipping, escrow, "transaction protection", and "guarantee".

In conclusion, I would recommend DogsNow to anyone looking for a new pet. Just be sure to take the necessary precautions to avoid scams and fraud.

I was on the hunt for a new furry friend and stumbled upon dogsnow.com. I was specifically looking for a Brussels Griffon and was thrilled to find one listed on the site. The seller, who went by the name of Steven Williams, was the one who had posted the listing. I decided to reach out to him to inquire about the puppy.

I sent an email to Steven Williams asking for two simple things: pictures of the puppy and the price. I also let him know where I was located. However, the response I received from him had me feeling uneasy. It seemed like a scam from the get-go.

Steven Williams replied to my email with a lengthy message about the puppy. He told me that the puppy's name was either Jerry or Cindy (it wasn't clear which one he was referring to), and that they were both 14 weeks old. He went on to describe the puppy's personality and characteristics, including the fact that they were potty trained and friendly with kids and other pets. He also mentioned that they were AKC registered and up to date on all their shots and vaccines.

What really raised red flags for me was when he mentioned that he was a Reverend Pastor and had just been appointed as a senior preacher in his new church. He claimed that he was giving away the puppies because he was too busy with his new job and couldn't give them the attention they deserved. While this may seem like a noble reason to give away a puppy, it just didn't sit right with me.

Despite my reservations, I decided to ask for pictures of the puppy anyway. Steven Williams responded promptly and sent me a few pictures of what appeared to be the same puppy. However, the pictures were low quality and didn't show the puppy's face very clearly.

Overall, my experience with dogsnow.com and Steven Williams was not a positive one. While I can't say for certain that it was a scam, the whole situation just felt off to me. I would advise anyone looking to purchase a puppy to be cautious and do their research before making any decisions.

So, I was browsing the internet for a new furry friend and stumbled upon DogsNow (dogsnow.com). I was excited to see so many cute puppies available for sale, but I wanted to make sure I found a reputable breeder. I found an ad for a pug puppy for sale in Metairie, LA and decided to inquire about it.

The person selling the puppy only communicated through text messages, which was a bit of a red flag for me. When I asked where he was from, he said Ohio, which was another red flag. However, he offered shipping through www.pet-express.com, which seemed legit since they had a website.

He asked for my email to send me some pictures and videos of the puppies. I fell in love with one right away and was very excited. He told me her name was LULU and guaranteed to have her to me in just a few days. His email address was ***@gmail.com.

Then, he asked me to wire him money from Walmart to Giano Marchigano in Youngstown Ohio. Once the payment was complete, I was to send him the 9 digit receipt. He had all the paperwork complete, but wouldn't send me a copy, which was another red flag.

I asked him how we would be guaranteed receipt of LuLu if we sent the money first. He replied, "When you pay and I do all the flight boarding paperwork, I will have access to full verification codes so you can check status and movements." This was yet another red flag.

At this point, he became very pushy and kept restating that the demand was high and that I needed to hurry and secure her. I then began researching his name, Jason Thunder, and Giano Marhigano in Youngstown, Ohio. They did not exist. Then, I researched the reviews for dogsnow.com and most of them stated that the site was a fraud.

So, I asked him how old the puppy was. He stated that she was 4 weeks old, which was another red flag. I thought puppies couldn't be sold until they were 6-8 weeks old. When I asked what to feed her, he was silent for a while and then responded that he would send all the instructions with the dog. Another red flag.

I then told him that I wanted to prepare for her and insisted on knowing what to feed her. He was silent again for a while and then responded, "Royal Canin... you can get them groceries easily." This was yet another red flag.

I asked him to provide me with proof that he was a legit dog breeder. Papers? Reviews? Past clients? He stated that he would send me a video of them playing with the dog calling my name. This was another red flag.

He badgered me a couple more times to send payment and called me rude for not responding. When I did respond to let him know that he did not provide me with proof and that I thought he was a fraud, he called me "a psychopathic person, and that the puppy would suffer in my care."

I decided to stay away from this guy and not use this site. It's a shame that legit breeders have to suffer because of frauds like him. I learned that it's important to do your research before finding a family pet, not to send money to someone before receiving the goods, and to look for clues of fraud and trust your instincts.

I was on the hunt for a furry companion and stumbled upon DogsNow (dogsnow.com). I found a dog that caught my eye and decided to text the number provided. After a few hours, I received a reply, but the response was not what I expected. The text message asked me which breed of dog I was interested in, even though my initial message was just asking if they still had puppies available. The message also requested my email address. I provided it and received an email a few minutes later, along with a text telling me that an email had been sent. The email was lengthy and explained why the seller could only communicate via email, citing a sob story about someone dying. The email also had several questions about the pet and apologized for all the questions, stating that they were concerned about finding a good home for the pet. I immediately recognized this as a scam, but answered the questions anyway since no personal information was being asked. After answering the questions, I expressed my doubts about the legitimacy of the seller's story and stated that I would do some background checks before proceeding any further. Within 10 minutes, I received another text saying that an email had been sent, but this time the email was pushing for a transaction to be made as soon as possible. The email did not address my concerns about the scam.

I spent some time looking for ways to block the seller from scamming others, but I noticed that DogsNow does not have that option. This made me question the legitimacy of the entire site. However, I continued my research and found this forum. While there may be real breeders on the site, it seems that you are more likely to get scammed before finding a legitimate breeder.

For those who still believe that DogsNow is a good site and want to purchase a dog from it, here are some helpful hints to avoid being scammed:

1. Pay attention to the grammar. Some of the things the seller said were completely out of context, indicating that they were not from the US.

2. Be wary of sob stories about someone dying. The seller I encountered claimed to have been in a minor accident in which their elder daughter died and they had jaw surgery, which is why they could not talk on the phone. It is unlikely that someone would share such a personal tragedy with a stranger in order to sell an animal. Other users on the forum reported similar stories.

3. Check the area code of the phone number provided. The posting I responded to was for Indiana, but the seller's number was from New Jersey, and the address they gave me was in Maryland.

4. Be cautious of sellers who seem to be pushing for a transaction to be made as soon as possible. They do not want to give you time to think about the transaction and realize that it is a scam.

5. Do not open email attachments if you are skeptical. They may contain viruses that can steal your personal information.

6. Be wary of sellers who do not know what breed you are asking about. Legitimate breeders typically specialize in one breed.

Unfortunately, the law cannot do much about these types of scams, especially when they originate from another country. The only way to stop them is to spread awareness and prevent others from falling victim to them.

So, I was browsing DogsNow (dogsnow.com) and came across a Maltese Puppy that caught my eye. I fell in love with the little guy and decided to reach out to the owner. They told me that they had to move from South Carolina to Utah, but assured me that they could still ship the puppy to me.

I was excited and decided to go through with the purchase. I contacted the pet shippers and they told me that the puppy had been shipped. However, after three hours, they called me back asking for more money. They said that the puppy needed a ventilation electronic temperature crate and a vaccine, which would cost an additional $2550.

I was hesitant, but my heart was set on getting the puppy. So, I decided to pay the extra money. Looking back, I realize that I should have listened to my mind instead of my heart. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I hope that others can learn from my mistake.

If you come across the phone number ***053, be warned that it's a scam. The website www.themobilepets.com is also a scam. I'm giving DogsNow a 1-star rating because they don't deserve any more than that. It's frustrating that I can't even file a complaint with them.

Overall, I would advise anyone looking to purchase a pet online to be cautious and do their research. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. It's important to make sure that you're dealing with a reputable seller before making any purchases.

I've been a member of DogsNow for a good three years now. However, I recently had a bit of a run-in with the website that left me feeling pretty disappointed. You see, someone falsely accused me of being a fraud, and without so much as a warning or a phone call, DogsNow froze my account and deleted all of my ads. I had paid good money for those ads, mind you, and now I'm out of pocket with nothing to show for it.

I've been trying to get in touch with DogsNow for weeks now, but they haven't returned any of my support requests or voicemails. It's frustrating, to say the least. I've done a lot of business through this website, and I would have thought that they would have at least tried to contact me via phone call to confirm my identity before taking such drastic action.

All in all, I would caution anyone against paying for ads on DogsNow if this is how they conduct their business. It's a shame, really, because I've had some good experiences with the website in the past. But this recent incident has left a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm not sure I'll be using their services again anytime soon.

So, I was browsing DogsNow (dogsnow.com) and found a cute little puppy that I just had to have. I contacted the seller and they told me a story about how they had cancer and needed to find a home for the puppy. At first, I believed it and felt sorry for them. But then, I started to get suspicious when the courier service contacted me for payment.

I mean, all the signs were there that this was a scam. First of all, the price of the puppy was too good to be true. Second, there was a sob story behind the price. Third, I only had to pay for the shipment of the puppy. Fourth, the courier email had two different names in it. And finally, they were asking for payment through Western Union. I mean, come on, who uses Western Union these days?

It's really sad that someone would use cancer and a puppy to scam people out of their money. I'm just glad that I was leery and didn't fall for it. I hope this review helps others to be more cautious when buying pets online. Don't be fooled by sob stories and too-good-to-be-true prices. Always do your research and make sure you're dealing with a reputable seller.

I recently had a very unpleasant experience with DogsNow (dogsnow.com). I was accused of being a scammer without any evidence or reason. It was clear that they didn't care about resolving the issue or seeing any proof of my legitimacy. I tried to explain to them that it's important to know who you're dealing with when it comes to animals and breeders, but they didn't seem to care. I even asked them about their pricing to stay on the site, but they were unresponsive.

Dealing with these people was a nightmare. They were incredibly nasty and quick to judge me without any investigation. It was clear that they were trying to cover up something else, and I suspect that they were letting other breeders cut off their competition. This is the oldest scam in the book!

I wouldn't recommend using DogsNow (dogsnow.com) at all. They are not trustworthy and don't seem to care about their customers. It's a shame because I know that I am a legitimate breeder, but they didn't give me a fair shake. Don't waste your time with these people.

I recently had an experience with DogsNow and I must say, it was not a good one. I was looking for a new furry friend for myself and my granddaughter after we lost our beloved Miniature Pinscher. We were both still mourning the tragedy and I was hoping that a new puppy would help us heal. That's when I came across a lady named Nancy Gallagher who was selling a Teacup Maltese on DogsNow.

I contacted Nancy through the site and she seemed very interested in selling us the puppy. She asked me a lot of questions about myself and my home, which I thought was a good sign that she cared about where her puppy was going. She quoted me a price of $300 for the puppy and an additional $150 to fly her to me. She promised that we would have the puppy before Christmas.

I was excited about the prospect of having a new puppy in our home, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Christmas came and went, and there was no sign of the puppy. I tried to contact Nancy and DogsNow several times, but I never received a response. I was devastated and felt like I had been scammed.

I believe that DogsNow and Nancy Gallagher are responsible for this situation, and I have filed charges against them. I am determined to take this to the fullest extent and make sure that they are held accountable for their actions. I would not recommend using DogsNow or purchasing a puppy from Nancy Gallagher.

Overall, my experience with DogsNow was extremely disappointing. I feel like I was taken advantage of and left with nothing but heartache. I hope that others can learn from my experience and avoid similar situations in the future.

I gotta say, I had a pretty bad experience with DogsNow. I mean, I've heard all the horror stories before, but I never thought it would happen to me. My wife and I were looking for a new furry friend to add to our family, and we stumbled upon DogsNow. At first, everything seemed legit. We found a cute little puppy that we fell in love with, and we started communicating with the seller.

But then, things started to get fishy. They kept asking for a "deposit" before we could even see the puppy in person. That raised some MAJOR RED FLAGS for us. We didn't want to send any money without seeing the puppy first. And when we asked for a real phone number to call, they just gave us a Google Number. That was another RED FLAG for us.

But we were still hopeful, so we agreed to meet the seller at a location they gave us. It turned out to be a stranger's home, and we had to go on a wild goose chase just to find the puppy. It was a waste of time, to be honest.

And then, we found out that the seller we were communicating with had the same name as one of the reviews on DogsNow. That's when we knew for sure that the whole site was a scam. I mean, come on. How could the seller have the same name as a reviewer?

So, if you're thinking about using DogsNow to find a new furry friend, I would say BUYER BEWARE! This entire site is a SCAM! Don't fall for their tricks like we did.

I recently stumbled upon a posting for siberian husky puppies for sale in Warsaw, MO on dogsnow.com. I was thrilled to find a website that catered to my love for dogs. I immediately contacted the seller through the website and to my surprise, I received a prompt reply by email. The seller even texted me pictures of the puppies that were available. I was ecstatic to see the adorable little furballs and couldn't wait to bring one home.

After much deliberation, I finally picked out a puppy and sent a $200 deposit to the seller. However, to my dismay, I never received the puppy. The lady who sold me the puppy, PAMELA GALICIA, turned out to be a thief and a fraudster. Her ad number was *** and she had scammed another person before me. I tried to contact her, but she never replied to my text messages. I was heartbroken and felt cheated.

Despite my bad experience, I don't blame dogsnow.com for what happened. They are not at fault. However, I do think that the website should do some spot checks on their sellers to ensure that they are legitimate. It would save a lot of heartache for people like me who are looking for a furry companion.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a good person selling husky puppies in Springfield, MO, on another website. I now have a new beautiful baby girl who brings joy to my life every day. I hope that no one else falls victim to the same scam that I did.

In conclusion, while dogsnow.com is a great website for dog lovers, it is important to be cautious when dealing with sellers. Always do your research and make sure that the seller is legitimate before sending any money.

This website is just terrible! It's full of scams and I can't believe I fell for one. I was so excited about getting a new puppy, but it turned out to be a complete sham. I did some digging and found out that the email address the supposed owner was using had been used in multiple scams before. I even tried asking the advisors on the site some questions, but every time I did, the person on the other end would just stop responding. It was so frustrating!

I started to notice that there were pictures of the same dogs in different locations, which was a huge red flag. The scammers were really good at keeping up their act and had a convincing story, but I knew something was off. I reached out to DogsNow to report the scam, but they haven't responded yet. It's been two days and I'm still waiting for a reply. This is unacceptable, especially when it comes to something as important as getting a new pet.

I strongly advise against using this site unless you want to waste your money on a dog that you'll never actually get. Don't be fooled by the scammers and their convincing stories. And don't expect DogsNow to be of any help either. They clearly don't care about their users or the safety of their pets. I wouldn't even give them one star for their rating. Stay far away from this site!

We was lookin' for Male Samoyed pups and we found DogsNow (dogsnow.com). They had a lot of pups to choose from and we found one we liked. We sent 200 Dollars like they told us to and we was excited for our new pup to come in 2 days. A man named Jon Biaca from Baltimore sent us a message sayin' he got the money for Mallisa Fllora (Advertizer). We updated Mallisa like she told us to and she said she got the message. We waited for the shipment but it never came. We tried to contact Mallisa and the shipping company but we didn't get no response.

Finally, the shipping company sent us an email with the scheduale of shipment and how to send the money. We talked to an Oriental man over the phone and he told us to send a reference number for the money we sent. He said he was the manager of the shipping company in our region. He had an Austin number ***713 and Mallisa gave him our phone number. We sent the reference number like he told us to but we never got our pup.

We're in the process of talkin' to the police about this scam so we can save other innocent people from fallin' for it. Our reference add number is O and we hope this review helps other people avoid this scam.
