We were looking to buy a goldendoodle dog as a pet and just happened to come across a supposed experienced breeder through ********s market place. We chose 1 dog we saw on the company website that were $800.00 for each one and contacted the seller about purchasing the dog. We contacted the seller via email (no phone numbers was available) and after several exchanges we agreed to purchase the dog from him. The breeder said because we were more than 4 hours from their location in ******, **** the dog would have to be transported by airplane to our location on the east coast using a pet delivery service. The delivery service Happy Paws Pet Travel was the agency that the seller said he trusted and had used several times before. The breeder said normally they charge $250 but they had a discount program available so no additional payment would be required. After making the arrangements with the breeder we were contacted by Happy Paws Pet Travel (the supposed pet travel agency) who said we had to pay him up front $950.00 deposit via through Venmo for a temperature regulated crate of which $800 would be partially refunded.After our "attempted" transaction was declined we sensed we were getting scammed by both the seller ***** and the pet travel service, we contacted him about getting our money back, however he keeps procrastinating and skirting around the issue saying he's working on it but never getting it resolved which is where we are currently at in this situation. We've attempted to obtain the puppy (******* said he'd use another travel service) and the same people contacted us now asking for $1,200 for pet insurance but no mention of a temp. controlled crate.The seller and pet travel service websites are as follows.. familyraisedgoldendoodle.com and happypawspettravel.com and they are SCAM ARTISTS!!! DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY AND TELL ALL OF YOUR ***********************************Initial Complaint

We were looking to buy a goldendoodle dog as a pet and just happened to come across a supposed experienced breeder through ********s market place. We chose 2 dogs we saw on their page that were $800.00 for each one and contacted the seller about purchashing them, the dogs names were ***** and ****. The seller ***** contacted ** and after talking with him we agreed to purchase the dogs from him, since the dogs resided in ******** and we live in ******** the dogs would have to be sent using a pet delivery service, the delivery service Happy Paws Pet Travel was a agency that the seller ***** said he trusted and had used several times before, ***** said he also required we pay him up front $800.00 via through Zellle (which we did in 2 payments on May 3 &4) and then upon delivery of the 2 dogs to ** that we pay him the remaining $800.00.We agreed and arraigned to have the dogs sent to ** on May 10, later that day we received a phone call from the supposed pet travel agency and was told that dogs could not be sent to ** because their carriers required a temperature regulator and that we needed to give them a $1650.00 deposit which $1500.00 would be partially refunded to ** upon delivery.Sensing we were getting scammed by both the seller ***** and the pet travel service, we contacted him about getting our money back, however he keeps procrastinating and skirting around the issue saying hes working on it but never getting it resolved which is where we are currently at in this situation. The seller and pet travel service had websites and ******** pages I typed them in below here:familyraisedgoldendoodle.com happypawspettravel.com
