i also had a shady experience.  i am from sacramento and it took a couple of weeks and a fee emails to find out if they still had husky puppys.  i was finally contacted back and told yes.  we head south to san diego for christmas every year.  one the way down we told the kids we had to stop for \"fish\" for christmas.  the foster mom from moondoggies asked us to meet her at the Cerritos Mall near her work.  we waited for nearly 2 hours for her to arrive.  When she did it was a different puppy than we had originally talked about.  i was ok with that.  she told me the ones she had had been adopted the night before to a family who wanted to keep both the brother and sister together.  yeah!  so she had to get this puppy from a different foster mom.  Since i was from out of town she asked if i could pay in cash.  i did.  But because we met in a mall she couldn't give me a copy of the agreement and she said she would scan it and email it when she got home.  this happened on 12/22/11. She then said she would check in with week after Christmas to see how it was going.\n\nI had noticed that the puppy's belly was bloated.  my husband assured me that it was normal puppy bloat.  The foster mom gave me a sheet of paper that stated her vaccinations and her microchip info. she warned me that their may still be some worms in her stool because she had been given a dewormer.\n\nThe nest day i still had not heard from her.  i have no paperwork from her or the insurance company that i was supposedly set up with.  that night, the poor little puppy was vomiting up roundworms all night long.  i took her to Bansfield vet in petsmart since i was out of town and could not see my regular vet.  Turns out she not only had roundworms so bad but she also had giardia.  the vet also had to hydrate her.  again this is part of the rescue process and i could deal with it.  However, i had not heard back from moondoggies.   The puppy is on medicine and starting to do better.  i waited a week and eventually i posted a beware notice on moondoggies facebook page and also sent an nasty email to the info@moondoggiesrescue.com since phone calls and texts were not being returned.\n\nFinally i got a reponse from them.  They asked me to remove my negative post from their facebook page and that they would get me my info and that there was no way they would adopt out a sick puppy.  unfortunatly i have almost $500 in vet bills to prove that she was sick. Once back in town i took her to my regular vet.  this time the vet tried contacting the resue for more information.  two weeks have gone by at this time.  BTW, there was no microchip found in the puppy by either vet office.  Moondoggies finally sent me a copy of my aggreement, pet insurance and another sheet of vaccinations on the puppy.  the sheet they originally gave me and the new one sent to me do not match at all.  my vet has decided to start her over on all vaccinations and give her another weeks worth of medication since we were still seeing some traces of worms in her stool.  now she is much healthier and is a very happy dog.  we are so glad we rescued her.  my kids and our other dog are so happy.\n\ni am very doubtful i will get my spay deposit back from moondoggies.  i asked them for a refund of the cost of remicrochipping when i get her payed and they told me no.  they will find someone to meet me and get the microchipping done.  i sent them some information on reputable resues in my area.  i have not heard back form them since.  My puppy is schduled to be spayed in a month.  my vet wants to make sure she is fully healthy and her immune system is up to par before it happens.\n\nanyway, this has been my experience so far.
