Gratitude Farms

I don’t know what happened but in 2016 my dog Sam went missing. I was 15 at the time and dident really know how to use Facebook so I couldn’t find the post about him. I live in East Bethel and put up a post on my page a few days after he went missing saying the he was lost and had a black pet safe collar. I was crushed and devastated that he had gone missing and dident stop looking until this day. And to find a post 3 years later saying that he was reunited with his family is heart braking. We still have all of his adoption paperwork and want him back! MY DOG WAS WRONGFULLY SOLD TO A FAMILY! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM THEY DONT CARE ABOUT REUNITING DOGS THEY WANT MONEY!

We got our first cane corso, Stella, At Gratitude in September of 2016. Stella was always timid and literally had to be dragged around the block on walks but we worked with her and gained her trust and she is a sweetheart. We then got Luna from gratitude in May of 2017. Luna is warm and outgoing and the two really meshed well with our growing family. Sadly this smooth transition was short lived. At an early vet appointment the hip X-ray revealed serious issues for Luna. Our vet indicated surgery would be necessary so of course we contacted the breeder ASAP. She chastised our vets choice to x-ray too soon saying Luna would “ grow into her hips”. Well surprisingly she hasn’t. To watch the pain of this sweet puppy try to stand up or walk up stairs is truly heartbreaking. To compound issues as our two children grew older we noticed Stella’s timidness at times develop into aggressive behavior in particular with children who run and around scream and play like kids do. We have sought training but it has gotten to a point where we don’t feel comfortable with Stella around our kids or their friends. Again we contacted the Breeder. The silence had been deafening and when we finally did get a response she offered to post Stella on her website that night ( we had faith she really cared and would be a great resource). To this day, months later Stella was never posted. ( the site did remain active though with new postings) To say we are dismayed with our experience is a vast understatement. Maybe we just suffered bad luck. Nobody can predict how a dog will grow up, however, what wasn’t luck was the absolute lack of care or assistance this breeder gave. I am more than happy to answer any questions about our experience if you are considering getting a dog from Gratitude.
