Business ProfileforFinal Victory Animal Rescue

I adopted ****, a senior Chocolate Lab, from this rescue the end of October 2022. I was told he was in good health and had been checked by vet prior to transport to CT where I picked him up. That was not the case when I picked him up and brought him home. He had a growth protruding from his chest, a quarter size tumor on the back of his neck. I had him to vet within a week to check these issues out. At the vet visit, it was also found that he had some teeth that looked like the roots had been exposed and a large piece of gum hanging from his upper jaw. I received a surgical estimate for the removal of growth/tumor/and xray of teeth and the owner agreed to pay half of the bill which at that time was $1500.00 ****'s surgery was scheduled for Jan 19th at my request. I needed a little time to save for the surgery. I had spent $625.00 for his adoption fee. While in surgery, I received a call from my vet stating xrays of teeth weren't too good. He needed to have two teeth removed and the gum growth excised bringing the total now to $2200.00 I let Katy know of this but told her she would only be responsible for $750.00 as originally agreed upon. It's now March 11, 2023 and after a few email exchanges, lastly Katy as**** me to "send her a reminder email" for two weeks ago which oddly enough I sent. As it stands today, I haven't received any reimbursement and feel that I've been more than fair. I am submitting this complaint to let other patrons know what happened to me by this rescue. Thank you.
