Review for All Terrier Rescue Hunters Crossing Inc, Aloha, OR, USA
We adopted a puppy from them in 2007.
Our puppy arrived in the back of a pickup truck that had a pop top, in a too-small crate that was sitting unsecured on the top of a very large crate. We heard our puppy crying before Samantha even pulled into the parking lot and she complained to her mother that the puppy had cried for the entire trip from Scappoose to Tigard. When she opened the back, our puppy's crate had slid and ended up at a 30 degree angle so the puppy had to try to stand on the back of the crate. Luckily, it had not fallen off the crate.
They required $300 in cash plus a mandatory $100 cash donation for caring for the other dogs.
We were told our puppy had diarrhea from "just being dewormed."
12 hours post adoption, the emergency vet told us our puppy had the worst case of giardia they had ever seen plus coccidia and untreated bite wounds. The adoption paperwork showed that the "just dewormed" statement was a lie.
The e-vet also estimated that our puppy was 28% underweight for the size, bone structure, and body condition. The e-vet and staff did not expect our puppy to survive.
Samantha told us she had given our puppy a "spanking" the day of adoption for eating poop. It took several weeks to get our puppy to no longer be hand shy.
Over the next several years, we ran into All Terrier several times at various pet stores.
I filed complaints with animal control and pet store management after witnessing Samantha hitting rescue dogs for such things as not going potty on command or not walking nicely on a leash.
We also discovered our puppy's mother, who was in All Terrier's custody for the birth of our puppy, had somehow had yet another litter while still in All Terrier's custody.
All Terrier, and their latest incarnation, "Rescue Strong Oregon," is now in legal trouble for running a for-profit rescue with IRS tax exempt status, failing to report an estimated $6,000,000 in income, using the rescue's money for personal expenses, misleading adopters, misrepresenting the health status of dogs up for adoption, misrepresenting themselves as animal behaviorists and veterinarians, failing to maintain the required records, failing to obtain a kennel license, and more.
