Starting Over Animal Refuge,inc.

Check out this blog. This filly came directly from Melissa Yost to Beauty's Haven. Follow here story...see how a real rescue treats their animals. www.beautysequinerescue.org/pdf/blog/August_2011.pdf You will also need to go forward, but suffice to say if Beauty's Haven hadn't taken this filly in she would have been dead in DAYS. This place needs to be shut down. She needs to pay for her neglect of this beutiful animal. Rather than make more money off of these animals. Sick person to allow this to happen.

Pros: none

Cons: liar and neglecter

We purchased our puppy golden retriever here almost two years ago. We paid a $300 "donation". We knew it was sketchy when we were there and knew we shouldn't support this but fell in love with our Duke and I couldn't leave him in that filthy pen. He was being kept outside in a muddy pen at 8 weeks old and had worms (i know this is common for puppies, but they said they had dewormed him). I took him to the vet the next day because he had a rash over his tummy so he was put on antibiotics etc. Sent an email to them as a heads up no response. Sent the email about him getting neutered that is required, no response. Now that Duke is almost 2 years old our vet is noticing his hips seem to be bothering him (something you can't see in a young puppy).
I love Duke more than anything in the world but this place is sketchy. Her story was that the puppies were donated to raise money for the horses. I would do it again because he is my world but selling sick puppies for profit is terrible.
I would recommend adopting from Orange County Animal Services. That is where we adopted our pure bred schipperke for $55 and saved his life and didn't contribute to irresponsible breeding.

Pros: we love our puppy

Cons: shady, poor breeding, disregard of puppy socialization or health, a puppy mill broker
