Hoobly
Reviews and Complaints

When I registered with Hoobly, I was not prompted to give my location/ area, but just my email address is all. Please note: I do not live in Homossassa, but rather in Lakeland Florida. I have contacted Hoobly Customer Service three times so far but they have not helped me yet. They responded once and suggested that I update my ad location. But please note: my ad will always continue to show up in Homossassa until my user/profile is changed. Their system does not allow the user/ member to update their location so I am stuck. I am grateful for their pet ad service but I will never get any buyers when I am listed so far away. I have been contacting and asking customer service for help for about a week now. Might as well delete my ad and my membership as well if you won't help me. Its not what I want but its useless to place ads to some other faraway/ remote city from me. Rather, I ask again here for customer service to help rectify this situation properly by changing my user/member location to Lakeland Florida.

Me and my wife gave a down payment of 200$ for a golden doodle puppy and we found out it was a scam and we have a given pictures of the hoobly ad, the zelle transaction and also a picture of the Instagram page where we have messaged her and we are trying to get a reimbursement. Please please please try and get back with me as soon as possible and thankyou !

I inquired about a Boston terrier I found on hoobly. I knew the price was to good to be true but I figured I'd try. The person wanted me to send $100 to hold him. I asked to come see him & pay the deposit in cash. For reasons unknown that wasn't possible. The person has a area code from Arkansas. The location on his account says Southfield mi. & he says he located on Marshall Mi which he didn't even spell right. I checked the account and they have multiple breed litters of puppies... all with these deposits and low prices. Bet this guy is making a killing off stupid people who send the money. Beware! Also FIY you can't transact dogs on PayPal. So keep that in mind! I hope people see this!

This woman took $500 from me after my dogs gave birth to two dead puppies, she was unsympathetic and has been calling to harass me and she is threatening to sue me for giving an honest review. I also received a message to my post from someone that said she took $200 from them for a puppy and they didn't get it. She seems very off it to me, I suggest anyone not to do business with her ever!

Breeder would not allow me to see parents or go to home. Met in parking lot to see puppy. Puppy's paws brown and yellow from feces and urine; fur by anus had old feces in fur. It smelled terrible. Did not receive documentation on health of puppy. She gave me a two day health guarantee. She could not provide me with health info. Said sister in law gave shots. First said vet checked, then clinic checked, then Petco checked. Called Petco, they do not do wellness checks. Did not register litter with AKC after claiming parents are AKC registered. I am waiting for response from AKC. Would not give address. Notified police and was told it is a civil matter. Was going to file in court, but decided my $450 just saved this puppy from what appears to be an illegitimate breeder more concerned about making money than welfare of puppies. I know she also has a litter of pekingnese. The resolution I would like is that this person is no longer allowed to advertise on your website and hopefully on no others.

Please note home area is not Southfield, Michigan it's Kentucky not sure why this has shown up this way. I would appreciate your correcting this mistake and letting me know that you did. There's no point in me trying to sell dogs in Michigan when I am living way down and Kentucky, if people see Michigan as my home state they were going to scroll right by as opposed to contacting me

I responded to an ad for baby Macaws from Charlesedward43 and sent money for the bird after talking for a while and he was answering questions so it seemed legitimate. I sent $900.00 ($200 via PayPal and $700 via VenMo) I was luckily able to get the funds back from Venmo as he could not access them due to an issue with ID he said. He was supposed to send the baby birds out via Delta animal cargo and on 2 separate occassions they never made it to the airport, first time he stated he was away and his co breeder who was feeding the babies was supposed to send. That day came and the birds never made the airline, he answered to that message and stated it was an issue with the crate the airline wouldn't accept it so he said he would send when he returned and that there would be no issues with the second shipment attempt. well that day comes and I tracked the airway tracking number that he gave me and again no birds made the flight! at this point he had blocked my number from contacting him and I have not heard another word from him. He still owes me $200.00 for the fund I could not recover from PayPal as he requested payment be sent friends and family, I didn't know this would not be a safe transaction, I thought any PayPal transaction was protected.

My email [protected]@hotmail.com and [protected]@hotmail.com are hacked and taken over. I redirected all my contacts to a new email [protected]@gmail.com. I have to have an option to delete those two old email, please help me with that. Because you did not give me this option my customers are scammed for big money under my name.

Hello,

There are MANY goat breeds that need to be included in the Categories Filter for goats! You only have 5 listed! You might further divide them into Dairy goats and Meat goats and Fiber goats

Dairy goats for example: (these should be added)
Alpine
LaMancha
Saanen
Toggenburg
Oberhasli

You already have Nubian but Nigerian should be changed to Nigerian Dwarf

Meat Goats: ( you already have Pygmy and Boer)
Myotonic
Kiko
Spanish

Fiber Goats - Angora

My name is Michelle Cross email address is [protected]@yahoo.comYes this person took a $100 deposit for a dog that she represented as AKC. Well the father could have been but the litter is not. When I asked her on May 6th she said yes they could be registered. The day before I was to drive to pick up puppy she text me and said she had made a mistake that she had never sent in the parents papers and that would make neither parent registered. She told me she had another litter due and it would have AKC parents. Well the litter was born now she says it's not registerable. I asked for my deposit back and she blocked me.

This is the puppy I put a deposit on. But I was wanting a AKC registerable one.

I purchased a Doberman from a breeder on your site. Their screen name is "dobes2017". Since purchasing the puppy I have had multiple medical issues and have spent a great deal of money to get the puppy to good health. This breeder I believe is simply running a puppy mill and selling dobermans with pre existing conditions. Also, they gave me the pup at 7 weeks, which at the time I was not aware was illegal. I hope you consider banning this seller to save the life of these dobermans because some might not have the money to fix them like we are. I've tried getting papers from them but they refuse and ignore me. I think they are a fraud and that you should remove them from making money off of these poor puppies. Feel free to contact me at [protected] and I will explain the 4 grand I just spent on him yesterday. It to mention the thousands before at the vet. Please do not let this continue.

My account was hacked by someone supposedly selling dogs - I myself reported it to hoobly and they in turn banned me! I have been attempting to get this straightened out for about 6 months! I have tried to set up a new account only to have the message of my ip address has been banned appear on the sign up screen!

Really disappointed since this is one of the few sites left where you can advertise animal sales!

Doberman wilorun breeding hickory pa she was nasty Nancy is her name she is running a scam called her about dog that was advertised on your website and I tried to set up an appointment so I could see the dog she snapped and told me fk off go buy a dog somewhere else just because I tried to figure out a good time so we can meet up zip code 15340 hickory I've always had good experience with hobbly she is making your honest website look like very bad check into it and you will see

I got belgian malinois puppy from the breeder fermalinois79 with parvo virus.
I paid for the puppy, for the trip to Texas, for the doctor, for medicine, for pet's supplies.
I was giving her IV fluids and nutrition through syringe. She suffered a lot. Diarrhea started the next day (virus incubation period is 3-5 days), so obviously that all other puppies are infected too. Then vomiting started and diarrhea became bloody. It was horrible. I did not sleep a week. She died on my hand. Her heart just stopped. He doesn't answer my texts. His phone # is 817-727-9336. Be aware

So I seen an ad on hoobly for puppies.. So i messaged the seller..seller responded and spoke with her on the phone..we set up a day and time to meet. She asked for a deposit to hold the puppy. I figured thats normal for most breeders. She played me the whole way from where she claimed she was from (but wasnt). She took my money, never brought me my puppy and blocked me from all contacts.

Breeder using name bengal4life had a beautiful 1 year old Maine Coon listed for $400. I emailed her through Hoobly, and later texted and also talked to her on the phone. I decided to go ahead and purchase this cat, and she sent a money request through Zelle for the full amount of $400. So I paid that and we had plans that I would go to OH to pick her up. After I paid, she said she is willing to meet me half way, so I accepted that. Later she said she & her sister would combine this trip with visiting their brother, so if I would gas, she would bring her the whole way. So I sent $80 for gas. Then excuse after excuse, and no cat. I asked for my money back twice, and she doesn't respond at all. A week later she has the same cat posted again, this time at $550. Easy way to make money, just sell the same cat to as many people as you can.

I was looking for a baby hedgehog. And this woman was selling them for $150 each. Asking for $50 deposits. So I got in contact with her and sent out $100 check on January 14th of 2019. Every week since then she has come up with an excuse as to why the are not available. She doesn't send pics. Her email is scoobydoo0721@aol.com, her number is 330-565-3698, and her name is Gina Syacsure. She has taken down her ad. Says deposits are non-refundable now that we are questioning her about why they are not available.

applied to ad about bengal4life she took my deposit drove 5 hours gave me wrong address she scammed another lady on this site. She needs to removed. I asked her if she had any silver bangels but realized she was too far away but she kept messaging me through hoobly so if figured it was legit boy was i wrong. so she is going to ruin it for honest people out there who do need a deposit on their pure bread beagles. i did get the police involed and hope the do get her. She use people 's pictures from pinterest she is a fraud stay away from her people.
