Private R.

Purchased 2 expensive Large Paw Paw Trees from Ty Ty Nursery years ago & they did not survive even one year. The seller was uncaring and refused to do anything about it. I'd never purchase anything from them again. (Note: I had also purchased several small Paw Paw Trees from another seller-source, which did survive).

*UPDATE (2022-08-13):

This is the most difficult update/review I've ever written. I'm writing this because I noticed that the 'PetSmart' stores in Southeast Wisconsin are still allowing 'TEXAS RESCUE RIDERS' to carry on the practice of selling Texas animals as PETS in their Wisconsin stores.

It's been a little over 2.5 years now and I'm still not over the HUGE Loss of my very dear friend, who suffered so terribly, and tragically lost his life in early 2020, (due to the horrific situation mentioned at an earlier date in this review).

Please be aware, that 'TEXAS RESCUE RIDERS' takes those 'happy new pet owner photos', and posts them on their FB page/website, and 'Deletes' the 'Negative' comments and reviews posted on their FB page, thereby hiding the 'REAL TRUTHS' regarding their 'Pet Adoptions'. The Real Truth is that my sweet friend was a great and caring responsible pet owner who made the Gargantuan Mistake of being tricked by the 'Manipulative Seller', who told him, 'If he did not adopt the kitten before closing time in 15 minutes, that the kitten would be put down'. So naturally, my dear friend adopted/bought the kitten, believing he'd be saving its life. I can't begin to elaborate the immense heartbreak and expense this mistake cost my sweet friend. The 'Texas Fleas' found on the kitten, attacked my dear friend's; home, couch, chairs, refrigerator, cabinets, bed, closets, basement, garage, laundry room, fireplace, truck, etc., etc., and after my sweet friend had diligently treated the kitten, with daily and monthly Flea Killer products, the horrid 'Texas Fleas' then began attacking 'HIM'. The whole while my precious friend was continually treating his entire home, first with 'natural' flea killing products, and then with chemical flea killing products, (including several sent to him by large national pet chemical and veterinary companies). The endless laundry and vacuuming of his 2400 square ft. Home daily was absolutely exhausting. My sweet friend contacted professionals from all across the country and unfortunately Nothing worked. The 'Texas Fleas' just moved throughout his home from one hiding place to another and another, and they bred with a fury to make up for their population losses. It was a nightmare of GARGANTUAN proportions, which brought about so much hopelessness into my precious friend's heart and mind. ~ I miss him so very much. ~
I'm still so traumatized by this terrible experience, that I cannot be near furry pet animals to this very day. I'd never want anyone else to suffer through anything like this. If you've been led to read this TRUTHFUL REAL review, please be careful when considering a new pet. The problem with professional liars is that they get better and better at continually lying.

~~~~~PREVIOUS-REVIEW~~~~~
NOTE:
This Review is an updated extension of the Greenfield, WI PetSmart 'Yelp' review I posted on 9/30/2019, as I feel it's important that customers be informed as to what is going on with the PetSmart chain of stores, who are allowing 'Texas Rescue Riders', /'Judy Robinson', to Adopt-Sell pets to unsuspecting loving new owners, under Deceptive pretenses, within their stores /'Pet Adoption Events'.

9/30/2019 ~ Original Review / PetSmart - Greenfield, WI ~

I can't even begin to express my feelings of; frustration, disrespect, distrust, & dislike, of what goes on at the PetSmart on 74th St in Greenfield, WI.

A friend of mine visited this store, because they had a 'Kitten Adoption' event, with several adorable choices to select from, all which had been rescued & delivered from 'Texas Rescue Riders', by a woman named 'Judy Robinson'.

He adopted a little kitten, (one out of the bunch, which was said to have most likely been put down, had my friend not selected it that day, for adoption).

The kitten was said to have been ready for adoption; de-wormed, up to date on shots, flea-less, litter trained, and one month of free veterinary services... GREAT! Right?...

Enter:... 'FLEAS'...@#x!%#@! X

Off to the 'free' Vet services,... WRONG!
(small insurance clause says:... 'fleas are NOT covered'!)

$200.+ for Vet services, + $60.+ /Flea spray, $40. /Flea bombs, $45. /Flea drops for the neck,... (+ LOTS of vacuuming),... & still more FLEAS,... ~ $3. /Hartz Ultraguard Flea powder & $2. /Flea collar,... = less fleas, which = better,... though still a risk of an exhausting seemingly endless cycle of Fleas.

My friend called PetSmart on 74th St in Greenfield, WI, & expressed his dissatisfaction to 'Michelle', the PetSmart General Manager, who was very familiar with the ''Texas Rescue Riders kitten adoption events' put on within her PetSmart store, yet she took NO responsibility for the stress & troubles this Flea infestation has caused my friend.

Later my friend learned of another dissatisfied PetSmart customer, who also adopted a kitten from one of these same organization/events, and likewise found their kitten to be flea infested.

I'm leaving this review, so that others may make good decisions, based upon receiving fair and proper information, which they will not likely receive otherwise. It's a terrible thing to begin bonding with a new little pet, trusting in good faith that it's healthy & ready for a new home, only to learn that your new little bundle of joy, comes with a bundle of unwelcome horrible Flea hitch hikers.

10/03/2019 ~ Additions to the above Review / PetSmart - Greenfield, WI ~

After viewing the Facebook 'Reviews' webpage for, 'Texas Rescue Riders', I'm all the more disgusted with this organization, ('Texas Rescue Riders'-'Judy Robinson'/'PetSmart - Greenfield, WI').

[facebook.com/pg/TxRescue.
{See Review: 'Jason Hill doesn't recommend Texas Rescue Riders. July 19... Beware!'}...

I can't help feeling so exceedingly sorry for that poor unfortunate unsuspecting family, who spent $425. Initially, followed by $1000. Of Vet bills, (when adopting a puppy, from the very same organization & location which my friend did, when adopting a kitten in Wisconsin, (/'Texas Rescue Riders'-'Judy Robinson'/PetSmart-Greenfield, WI).
[PS. MS JUDY, ~NO Victimized FB Reviewer is required to give You anything!, ~including copies of their private Veterinarian documents &/or receipts, etc.].

It's one thing to knowingly, willingly take in a sick pet, (to save it from being put down),... and it's a completely different thing,... being *Deceived by Unscrupulous Sellers*,... who claim the pet is in safe-suitable health condition, to enter a home & become a beloved part of a; trustworthy, trusting, responsible family,... when the pet truly is NOT well, & is NOT safe to bring into a home/family environment. ~ A guaranteed HEARTBREAK scenario sure to happen!

There are Many Suitable Healthy pets within Wisconsin, NEEDING to be adopted into new homes/families, right within Wisconsin,... who will Not have their needs met, (& may even be put down), due to that the families who might have opted to adopted them, instead have been deceived into adopting a sick pet, (who was falsely claimed to be healthy, by organizations like; 'Texas Rescue Riders'-'Judy Robinson'/PetSmart),... turning the new pet owners lives upside down, with pet illnesses, etc., & making their previously safe home environments, into unsafe environments to bring a new healthy pet into, for months, (or possibly even years in the future)... Fleas can be a NIGHTMARE!

PLEASE HELP STOP THIS MOST UNFORTUNATE TYPE OF ADOPTION SCENARIO, by informing/warning your friends & loved ones, about these Deceptive PET SELLERS, & their Unscrupulous activities! Be Wise, avoid being Victimized!

I joined the Green Bay, WI west Sam's Club, strictly because it was required in order to purchase my OTC medicine. When I purchased the 'regular membership', I was told that, "I could get a refund anytime within the year's membership, if I wasn't satisfied". Since my medicines were still less expensive at Sam's Club, I went ahead & purchased the membership, (although I was less than pleased about that newly added policy, just to purchase OTC meds.). During the year, Sam's Club doubled the cost of my OTC medicine, + I could only get smaller quantities, as they claimed that, "their supplier wasn't able to get them in the usual quantities". (I felt that their greedy price hiking was getting ridiculous!). I called around town to check, & found another pharmacy who could supply me with the very same larger quantities I was used to originally buying at Sam's Club, (withOut a membership fee), for close to the price I was recently paying at Sam's Club, (for the lesser quantity of medicine). So I went to purchase my medicine at the Other pharmacy, (to be sure they quoted me correctly, which they did without a hitch), & then I went to Sam's Club, to cancel my membership & request a refund, as I was told I could do when I joined, (+ I recently read it to be so online as well). When I went to the service counter, requesting a membership refund, the Mexican woman clerk asked me, "why, is there a problem?", to which I explained my experience /my medicine cost being raised, etc., & she asked me, "if I was sure I wanted to quit?", & informed me that, "I could keep it a couple months longer, & quit then". I told her, "I just wanted to quit & be done with it". Then she canceled my membership, (claimed she was 'all done'),... withOut returning my membership fee! I asked her about my refund & she said, "I could not get a refund of my money, because I did not have a Business Membership". I complained that, "she was incorrect about that, as I was clearly told I could receive a refund, (when they were trying to sell a membership to me), + I had recently read it online as well". She literally argued with me & displayed quite a rude attitude,... (then she called the manager over to prove her point). To her surprise, the manager corrected Her (repeatedly), telling her that, "YES, I should receive a refund of my payment". He could see she wasn't going to handle the situation promptly nor efficiently, so he got behind the counter to assist her in completing my membership refund. Once he left, she continued making excuses for her rude behavior & attitude. I'm glad I quit & am done with Sam's Club. (This wasn't the 1st time I've experienced problems with them,... the last offence a few years ago, though entirely different in nature, was far worse,... as was the time a couple years before that... ~maybe this time I've learned my lesson, & won't be lured back by their ricocheting 'lower the prices game', etc.).
