Posh Puppies Rescue

They are now going under
buyers beware! If you look patti and Marc tunno own outback valley acres too, they must have changed their name because people were aware they were a puppy mill!

This place might be closed now but I just want to share my opinion.
Sad that people wrote bad reviews about this place. Whether or not this place is a ‘legit’ non-​profit I can’t tell. We adopted our kid from this place about two years ago. We drove from out of state and told them what time we would be there. Our baby was ready when we got there. He is a ‘golden retriever’. Yes! He was a giant baby ended up in a small dogs rescue. He was born with entropion (imperfect eye). That make sense if they got their puppies from auctions. Most breeders won’t keep imperfect puppies and they’d end up at the animal shelters/​rescues anyway (or even worse). And for those wanting small dogs, most of the time animal shelters don’t have any. Ironic that some people wants a specific breed but expect to get it from a shelter.
Regarding the cleanlines, we think it was okay. Same thing if you go to any shelters or even a grooming place. They are all have some kind of odors. Dogs live there! And not just one or two… Their food alone has a distictive smell :). Imagine a lot of dog foods. What do you expect?
Please think positive that you are rescuing them from the worse thing that might happen to them regardless where they came from. Would that make any difference if a breeder turns a puppy to a shelter and you adopt him/​her? You pay less from the shelter because they get the puppy for free… Either or the ‘middle person’ somehow needs to make money to support the remaining.
Anyway, our almost three years giant baby is doing GREAT! Get along well with our 8yo (maybe 9) girl. We are glad they rescued him.

I’ve never criticized another Unilocaler… but, really Angela C? You’re «all for Posh Puppies»? Because you received a great dog? What is wrong with you? THIS WAS A PUPPY MILL. What do you not understand about that? You look like an idiot when everyone is saying «Warning! Puppy Mill! Cruelty to animals! Don’t buy here!» and then you say «I’m all for Posh Puppies». Ugh. I’m thankful this place was found out and shut down. Unfortunately, people like you are the reason why mills will continue to pop up. There’s always going to be some idiot who cares only about what they can get out of something instead of what the bigger picture means.

I don’t know who’s doing these reviews but I fear that its people who own pet stores and don’t want you going there. We got two puppies from PPR. One in August of 2009 and another in March of 2010. We took each one to our vet as soon as we got them and they were both very healthy and seemed to have great vet care prior to our adopting them. They have been very happy, active and wonderful additions to our family. They are both the most loving animals I have ever been around and the neighborhood kids love playing with them and they are great with all people and other dogs. Sure, there’s some odor in there but its the same any place you have many dogs in one building. I’ve recommended them to several other people who’ve been looking for the type dogs we got and they’ve all been very happy we sent them there. I couldn’t be any happier with our little guys. The only complaint I have with them is that even though they’re smallish dogs, they have an amazing ability to stretch out to maximum length in our bed and take up a lot of room but what ya gonna do, they rule our roost. LOL Anyway, I looked for a solid three months for the type dog we wanted after our last dog passed away and I was unable to find any in the area. I finally found posh puppies and they had exactly what we were looking for.

I only gave them two stars because I love my puppy. This place is a glorified pet store according to my vet. They buy the puppies from puppy mills and turn around and sell them to you. Yes you are rescuing the dog, from Posh Puppies. It’s sad really. My poor puppy was almost hospitalized, that’s how sick she was after I took her home from this place. I would definitely not support this place and adopt from the Humane Society instead.

It’s a SCAM! The people running this place are promoting a lie. This place is nothing more than a front for the puppy mills. People go there thinking they are making a difference and doing a good thing, and really all they’re doing is supporting this cruel puppy mill industry.
Before we knew this, we adopted a dog from Posh Puppies who had a «clean bill of health,» and later found out that he had all kinds of health issues probably due to his parents being over-​bred and kept in poor conditions. Our vet informed us of Posh Puppies’ horrible reputation and what was really happening there.
The people who manage it are rude. The dogs were all dirty and kept in cages around the clock. PLEASE avoid supporting this place.

This is a puppy mill retail. Sicking and sad. Dogs behind bars with greedy people peddling them for the most money they can get. Stay away. This is not a rescue, this is a money making operation. I feel sorry for all of the dogs who could have good homes if not peddled like jewelry. Put these dogs through a legit rescue and they could have good homes, vet care with a minimal adoption fee.

I will say that I am for posh pupy rescue just because we received our dog from this place and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. The place was scary to me and I hated it walking in, the smell, the feel the atmosphere with all the dogs barking made me sick to my stomach. I hated that I couldn’t go and see the puppies and as I waited for them to wash my dog «Hanley» and wait and wait for her, which I am assuming was dirty as all get out, I grew very erie. I was NOT going to pay that much for a minature schnauzer/​poodle mix however when I met her she was so scared she curled up in my lap. I told my boyfriend we have to get her and take her home and really I wanted to clear out the whole lot of puppies just to give them comfort!
So my only positive experience from this is that yes I did receive an amazing, smart, well breed dog. However, I was rescuing the dog from the shelter when the shelter should have rescued it and I would have gave it a good home

The people here are nuts. If your going in to buy a dog with no questions asked, you may as well go to a petstore. That’s all this place is. Ask about pricing, the health of the dog, they facility, return policy etc. They become nasty, defensive and rude.

I’ve been looking for another pup for a few months now. My criteria: must be a rescue, must like people, cannot be a barker, and must be smaller than my current pup (which is a 14lb miniature pincher mix).
I’ve been on PPR’s website a few times and thought I’d stop in just to browse their dogs during public visiting hours… you know, like the Humane Society is setup. Anyone can walk through and look at THEIR animals. For me it’s a must to see a dog in person to know if I’d really be interested, even if they are behind bars. Too many times I’ve seen a photo of a dog that was adorable and then met a completely different personality than I cooked up in my mind. Or vice versa, not all dogs are photogenic. While I understand animals are a little out of sorts in shelters, I don’t completely pass judgment based off their first impression. But I can get an idea about what type of dog they have the potential to become.
As I pulled up to the building, I could hear their puppies Unilocaling obnoxiously from the parking lot. It was even more obnoxious when I walked into their small lobby, which reeked of animal waste. I politely asked the woman at the front desk if I could take a quick look at the puppies, to which she said I would need to fill out an adoption form, including which dog (s) I wanted to see based off the photographs they had posted to the wall by the door and then wait for a visitation room. There were 2 groups ahead of me, if I so choose to sit in that smelly room and wait. Hmmm, at this point I’m picturing multiple dogs sharing small cages, running around in their own feces. Why else would they not allow the public to walk through? I wondered if I could ask them to just bring me the ones that aren’t going nuts in the back room?
I was a little put off, this is very different than any animal shelter I’ve been in. If you’re open to the public… you should be OPEN to people walking through the facility. For me to disclose my information is not something I want to do if a quick look would tell me. Eek! Methinks not.
My gut was telling me this whole thing was kinda shady, so I left never to return.

My visit here a few months ago confirmed my suspicions that this place is a sham! I don’t think their puppies are rescues, I think this place is a glorified pet shop preying on the public’s good intentions. All the dogs are kept behind a tall white wall. I don’t know how many dogs are back there or what condition they are kept in, but there is such a stench emanating from the area it makes your head spin. Also the one or two puppies that I asked to see were terrified little babies. They smelled, their fur felt grimy and their nails were long and sharp which means that at best, they are not groomed, and at worst they are kept in cages all day every day. (If they were walked, their nails would not be so sharp and pointed because the sidewalk would wear them down.)
This place just does not appear legitimate. If you have ever been to any other shelter or rescue group you will know why. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you when you see the cute «designer» puppies they have. do your research before getting a puppy from this so called rescue. Buyer beware.
