Well after much begging from the munchkin, we finally found a puppy that is hypoallergenic. Of course...nothing is easy.
Here is the story.
For about a month now I have been looking for a decent non allergy puppy that wouldn't be too much of a hassle. So I trolled Craigslist, Kijiji and some other boards, emailing a few people about their current selection of pups.
I first received an email from this lady who explained that she was unable to keep her teacup Maltease/Yorkie cross.. She explained that she loved this lil puppy a lot and only hoped to get her a good home. I was told that she had moved to Alaska and was in a situation where she could no longer keep it.
So, like a sucker, this sounded legit to me and I said I would be able to give the little puppy a good home. The lady said she would be able to ship the puppy via air and have it delivered to my home for about 100$. Personally, i thought that was pretty cheap, but ok. Well It's a scam. Before actually getting the email from the "delivery" company explaining their terms etc... I took a look at the headers of the email from this lady in Alaska. Her IP address was registered to the Afrinic. Big red flag..... then I got the email from the delivery company. Checked their phone number in Google, and they were part of the Cameroon Pet delivery Scam.
What they do is claim that they will deliver the animal to you for a fairly low price. Then you send via Western Union a Money gram for the animals transport. But then the problems begin. Animal needs vet checkup to enter your country. $$$...animal needs shots to enter your company....$$$ Animal needs Kennel costs because it had to see vet for check up and shots..$$$ Plane delay, animal needs food $$$... you see where this is going...
So, after I kindly explained to the lady (via email) that I figured out her scam and I would not be participating, I got a call from a Much nicer lady who had two pure bred Shih Tzu puppies for sale. They had been to a vet, they had their first shots and they were hypoallergenic.
The truth is BUYER BEWARE. And check your sources. Below is the result of my search, Kyrsty named him "Chewbacca" and I think you can see why.
