Review for Green Pets Charities, Canton, GA, USA
I adopted an older Pekingese named "Apollo" from this selter on late December 2013. I love the dog and do not want to give him up, but I have many problems with this shelter.
As of today (May 2014) and despite many attempts at reaching these people, I have still not received a copy of the signed contract, nor any of the paper work that was promised to me.
They gave me a checkup record stating that the dog was basically healthy, and a Rabies shot certificate, but neither paper had a reference the dog's name as Apollo, but it was written in by hand. They told me he did not have a microchip, but I have since discovered that he does have one. I have also discoivered that he has heartworms, and it was an infection that was established long ago enough for it to be known at the time of his adoption.
I still have the borrowed crate and other equipment that they left at my home for the "puppy visit", but repeated requests to have the stuff picked up have remained unanswered.
I love the dog and am willing to pay for the heartworm treatment, but I would never recommend that anyone wanting to adopt a pet come to this site.

Train the staff to handle the processes more professionally. Failure to return phone calls is inexcusable.
