Morkie House

I had the same exact experience as the last complaint. It’s now 8/31 and the dogs are still the same and listed at 10 weeks. Sadly I didn’t see the complaint above until I was in too deep. I did provide a deposit and that it when things quickly went down hill.

Mike reached out saying that I needed to rent a crate for the dog in the amount of $1650. There was no way I was paying for that. So with all of the back and forth and the inconsistent messages I have stopped engaging and I’ve notified the police.

I was buying the dog for my dad, who recently retired and has been going through a lot with illness. He is on the mend thankfully but I thought he could use a friend. Losing money isn’t my issue it’s now letting him down.

While looking for a rescue dog I came across https://morkiehouse.online/ and saw a puppy that resembled our Morkie that we had just lost to cancer. I was frustrated at first that it was a breeder, and not a rescue since I was searching for a rescue, but then I saw the puppy and I inquired anyway.

Mike texted me telling me she was available and gave me her price plus the cost of shipping, without asking me any questions about where I was located etc. I had to ask all of the questions, ALL of the questions. His second text was “How soon will you be interested in having the puppy over. This was before I asked where he was located. Which he told me was North Dakota. Again, he never asked me any questions about us, where we were located or anything.

It all felt a bit off. The website is lacking contact info, parent pictures, all of the things you would normally see which made me feel uneasy. One of the dogs looked like an elderly dog, and definitely not a puppy due to its tongue hanging out. I said I needed to talk to my husband some more and sleep on it. Thankfully I did not actually purchase a puppy from this scammer since we want to rescue, but since I was grieving the loss of our Morkie I could have made a stupid mistake and not listened to my gut.

About two weeks later I saw the dog I suspected was older pop up in an Instagram video, with same name and everything! So I decided to search every dog by their first name followed by ‘Morkie’. ALL of the puppies listed are stolen photos from Instagram accounts. Including Kyra, the puppy I inquired about and was told was available. I notified all of the accounts that their pictures were being used by a phony website.

As of today the puppies are all still listed, still as 10 weeks old, same as on 7/26. I know that one of the people has contacted them telling them to remove the photo of their dog.
