We are currently located in Pittsburgh PA with our Puppies. It would be great if you could visit us and pick up the puppy in person, You would have to make a half deposit for reservation then we would schedule the pick up time. But if you can’t make it up here any time soon, then we will have the puppy shipped to your address using a competent and reliable pet transport company who offers home delivery. It will cost $500 as adoption fee and $150 for shipping and home delivery fee making a total of $650 for the puppy to be transported and home delivered to your house address.

The Puppy will come with the following,
# A special made bed for your little puppy and blankets
# Toys for play time.
# Health Certificate, 1 year health guarantee
# Complete medical record
# Few weeks worth of Puppy foodstuffs
# Tray for serving snacks at bedtime, spoon, Toothbrush
#Brush and comb for your baby’s fur, Flea Comb.

When I saw their preference is Zelle I knew something was wrong

1. Airport pickup costs $265.00, Also the pet will be shipped to
the closest airport to your location then you go pick the puppy up from the airport.
2. As for home delivery, it costs $320.00, the pet will be brought
to your home address by a delivery agent from the shipping company.
So which shipping option works best for you, I can give you a final quote on the
puppy and shipping?:
You will have to login to your online banking and check if you don’t have the zelle transfer app on it, then you will have to go to your App Store or Play Store and Download it okay

Let us know once you are done setting up your Zelle so we can provide you details to transfer the money.Thanks for the details. You will now have to make payment so we can go process the shipping documents of Opal and also remove her details and pictures from our website and reserve her for you okay. We currently accept payments via Zelle Bank Transfer, which is fast secured and traceable. Leaves from your account and comes straight to mine. Are you familiar with Zelle Bank Transfer?
I’m so thankful for everyone who posted information on this scammer.

We own a big house here where we live too and our pets are all raised right here together with us as one big loving family, We are both retired from the Military service though from time to time, we are called up for some duties as a result of our experience but that only happens 5 hours every month so we stay home with Rex almost all day and night. We have raised 6 children, all now in their 30’s and 40’s – So Rex is like our child now, and we are always with Rex and take him with us wherever we go. In the evenings, he always sits with us on the couch. He is never left alone for more than 2 hours.

We have 26 acres of natural beauty here, and Rex has loved taking his walks on it and exploring it. Rex enjoys meeting our guests quite often, and those who are dog lovers really have loved Rex. We constantly show our love for Rex throughout the day, and we very much appreciate his intelligence and personality. Rex closely resembles his Miniature Dachshund father in size and appearance. He has all his first and second set of shots implying that he is all vet checked and up to date on all shots and vaccines and is now ready and fit to move into a new home with his new owner, 11 weeks is just a perfect age for re-homing. We breed more family oriented pets than actually show dogs.

We do not breed to make money. We are hobby breeders so we do not depend on breeding as a business. We only do it for the sake of experience and for the love of the breed so our fees are affordable enough for any pet loving family as we leave Rex for $550.00 dollars that is for the 50% off. Rex is good for apartment life. This breed can be fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Rex is a dog which enjoys lavishing love on his human companions as much as he loves the same treatment in return. Step towards getting Rex in your home within the next couple of hours. We welcome visitors once every week to take a look at our facility.

Where are you located?
How soon do you want Rex?
Please get back to me for the next step.

Kind regards.
