Evonne Denney has changed her name to BuyPuppieNow.org

We purchased a French Bulldog puppy from Evonne ($2000) that was shipped to us on the 22nd of December, 2007. She said the puppy was 8 weeks old, but the vet believed that the puppy was around 11 weeks old. She arrived with no rabies cert, or no signed health cert, as promised. After having the same problems reported by others (no return phone calls) the puppy arrived and soon began throwing up.

On Christmas Eve the puppy went to the vet (within the 48 hours required,) but the doctor was unsure what was causing the vomiting. Later that night the puppy was rushed to the emergency room with projectile diarrhea and vomiting with blood in her vomit.

Evonne will not return our calls. In the last 24 hours we have already spent $2600 on vet bills and still do not know what is wrong with our puppy! We thankfully paid with a credit card and have since informed the card company to stop payment. We fully intend to file a legal suite and welcome any additional support from those of you who have also been hurt and ripped off by this woman.

UPDATE:
Just wanted to update on what has happened to our sick Frenchie that was purchased from Evonne Denney at Diamond Acres Kennels. Since my last posting, we finally got in touch with Evonne after having called her and her husband several times, and finally faxing over her puppy health guarentee from our vet stating that the puppy was sick and they were not willing to sign anything stating that the puppy was healthy.

Upon speaking with Evonne, she tried to inform us that the severe diarrhea and vomiting was just due to 'nerves.' And that the vets were just trying to 'rip us off.' and that she knew as much as the vets did because sh 'read all the same books.' The Vet stated that this absolutely was not due to nerves, and now with a seriously distended belly, the puppy would die without treatment.

We continued to keep her posted, asking for her advise as to whether she thought we should send the puppy back or continue treatment. She told us that 'well, you can't send a puppy back if she is sick.' With that we continued to get the puppy treatment and tested to find out what was wrong. IT was at that time that let it slip that the puppy was shipped from the Ukraine and probably throwing up because during the 2 days of travel they are not fed, and when they finally do eat, they binge and make themselves sick.

This was the first time we heard anything about an imported puppy. Her website states that ALL her puppies are raised under foot and socialized by her 5 children. She even went so far as to describe the puppy's personality to us, the personality of a puppy she had never met. Finally, over $3000 later, it turns out the puppy had a congenital defect in her Pyloric Valve as well as a congenital hernia.

This is also due to a genetic condition. The vet assured us that with the right surgery the puppy would live a long healthy life...and without she would die. We notified Evonne of this and she told us to have it killed and she would send us another puppy, but it was not in her contract to pay any of the vet bills even though it was diagnosed with a genetic disorder.

We told her, we do not want another puppy from her, and therefore we would pay the $3500 for the surgery and she can be responsible for the over $3000 worth of testing to find out that the 'healthy' puppy she claimed to sell us was actually very sick with a genetic disorder. She said it was not her responsibility to pay for that, and all she will do is send us another one.

We fully intend to take her to court for misrepresentation. We will report her to any and all agencies who will listen; including PITA, Better Business Bureau, Department of Commerce, any animal welfare agency we can find. Please do the same! Those who have had problems will probably be contacted by our attorneys, since this site will not release the info to me, but said if our attorney contact them, they will provide the info. SO those of you have a claim, start (or continue) to document everything you can! We will take her down!

On an end note...we bought this puppy for our mother for Christmas and began to fall in love with her immediately. We spent our entire Charismas in an emergency vet clinic, on the phone with Evonne, specialists, and now attorneys, only to spend over $8500 on one sick puppy! To us (as I am sure most of you who was hurt by this woman) it is not all about the money. It is possible that we might spend more to see this through, but it is about an injustice being done, and lots of people and puppies being hurt. Please join us in stopping her! Power in numbers. Contact the attorney at thewrongpuppy.org and tell him your story, and he will send your email to me.
