              We adopted a German shepherd in March of 2023. We met with the ****** mom prior to pick up and were absolutely disgusted with the condition of the home and area where the puppies were at. She had 14 dogs in one area and there was fecea all over. The smell was awful. The dogs were rolling around and all needed bathing. We were ready to get our puppy out of that situation but told we had to wait a week because they were all exposed to parvo. Not a shock to us. Fast forward to present day. Our dog is now a year old and shes been active weird. We noticed her v**** was extremely swollen and she was spotting from down below. We took her to the vet who told us she is in heat. Which makes no sense since the paperwork Happy Tails gave us said she was spayed. We are irate. Now we have to take her and have her spayed and dont even know if the vaccines she claims to have had are correct so back to the vet!
