I want to warn people about the German Shepherd rescue that shows it's dogs at Tulsa Petco at Riverside on Saturdays. The proprieter, in MY opinion, is not honest about behavior issues the dogs have. She has deleted all the comments pertaining to my complaint, which further makes me think she is not being honest. I adopted Cali on Dec. 4. I was told she was "very well house trained". She did not potty in the house, but she does have severe separation anxiety and destructive behavior if left alone, although she is fine if you are there. She also jumps on you when excited and the people who had her before me, one of them suffered injury. I returned Cali Dec.8 and she has not been put back up yet, but I am concerned that the lack of this person's honesty is preventing the dog to find the right home and the trauma of being shuffled so much is further damaging her psyche. I have also noticed Bacall was adopted Dec.5 and is currently up for adoption again. I am concerned for these animals and just want people to be aware of these issues. If a rescue won't let you take the dog home to make sure it fits your lifestyle before paying the steep fee, please reconsider making that commitment. I have been a dog owner/lover all my life, but the experience I had here has soured me from ever "rescuing" a grown dog and from owning one at all for some time. Please research any dog you think you want to adopt, as well as the place you are planning to adopt from. That goes for all rescues, not just this one. I am considering filing a complaint with the BBB and ASPCA because I do not feel this person has the animals best interests in mind. This is solely MY experience/opinion, but I want to make people aware.Further note, when I called the owner out on this, she blocked me from being able to comment on her site, deleted all my comments pertaining to the dog I adopted and what happened to the lady who was injured. Good news, I have screen shots of all these prior to deletion to back up my story.Additional note, Cali was adopted out again just before Christmas and that person also had to return her Karla Wilson never responded to the BBB RE: complaint filed. It is now a mark on the business record. Please report if you have had any issues with this rescue for behavior issues. I have reported this woman to the BBB, pending response.Karla finally responded. She is hiding behind her contract and claiming I was made aware of Cali's behavior issues. This is not true. Case is still open and pending her next response. This complaint can be viewed on the BBB website.Still pending her next response from the BBB.
