AKCreunite AKC
If I could rate negative stars I would. I will NEVER EVER recommend these two organizations to anyone EVER!
Over 20 years ago I purchased a purebred dog with AKC parents but was told I could not register her because their exact reason "we have too many poodles at this time" what? Well since I wasn't going to breed for commercial purposes no big deal…. Now I purchase a rescue dog who is microchipped with AKCreunite.
The person who completed the adoption form for me used their information instead of mine (yes I know, who does that right?) and now my life is full of nightmares.
Multiple phone calls and 3 X that amount of e-mails and the nightmares get worse.
AKCreunite is only willing to change lost dog contact to have me called should dog be lost/stole/found, but no way in Hades will they change dog owners name.
I set up an AKCreunite account to update my dogs vet info, correct name spelling, add visual characteristics etc. BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO ADD MY OWN DOG TO MY ACCOUNT.
Why not? BECAUSE they say he's not my dog. I have contacted them by phone/e-mail, the person who filled out form incorrectly called/e-mailed and the rescue organization has contacted them as well.
I am even willing to pay transfer fee and keep getting the same old broken record directions hiw to do it on-line. But every time I have tried, no less than ten times, I get same error message that the dog belongs to someone else.
They say fill out paper form, request it by e-mail. Tried that. You got it right, error message saying it's not my dog, so they won't send it.
Therefore I am through dealing with them. So I tried deleting the account I set up with them, apparently that's not allowed either. What a joke this organization is.
