Larisa Solomon Toy poodle purchase

We purchased and Apricot Toy Poodle from Larisa Solomon on 12-29-16 and could not have been more than pleased. We selected our puppy from her litter when he was only 2 weeks old and she took such amazing care of him and sent us updates on his progress/weight/ and photos until we could take him home at 8 weeks. Our puppy is smart, calm, has a gorgeous shiny coat, bright eyes and just what we were looking for in an AKC poodle purchase. Mrs. Solomon was very helpful and organized. She gave us detailed information folder and all the up to date vaccination records. She gave us all paperwork to register Benji as AKC dog. Larisa gave us 2 week food sample and told us exactly where to go to purchase high quality food and vaccinations for reasonable price. I am an RN and plan to give vaccinations myself when able. Mrs. Solomon was very professional and my family would definitely purchase an animal from her again and refer her to our friends.

Here is Jaxon 3 years later, healthy and happy. He continues to be very shy and timid and frightens easily but we have learned ways to manage. I love him and I’m so glad he was one of the lucky ones! Hope she rots like those 2 poor dogs they found outside on her property!

Thank you for the update. I occasionally google Larissa Solomon just to check and I am glad she finally got caught running her puppy mill operation. I am the original poster to this board who purchased a puppy from her in Dec 2016. I wish I knew sooner, I would’ve been more than happy to testify against her if it would have caused her a tougher punishment! This makes me literally sick!

Dogs and puppies confiscated from a puppy mill on Peebles Road are now safe and being taken care of by staff and volunteers at the Miami County Animal Shelter. Donations are needed to help care for the 125 dogs that were rescued from deplorable conditions.

By Mike Ullery and Melody Vallieu

Miami Valley Today

CONCORD TOWNSHIP — One hundred and twenty five dogs, living in deplorable conditions, were removed from a Concord Township home on Monday. The removal was the result of what began as a barking complaint.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sarah Fraley said the sheriff’s office was first alerted to a problem at the Peebles Road address when a barking dog complaint was taken last Thursday. Deputies went to the residence and observed the carcasses of two dogs — decaying and unburied — in the yard. After looking into the home, a number of dogs were seen and filthy conditions were observed, Fraley said.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office deputies, along with personnel from the Miami County Animal Shelter, Miami County Public Health, and Miami County Children’s Services, on Monday executed a search warrant at 3365 Peebles Road in Concord Township as a result of what deputies first observed. The search warrant sought evidence of alleged animal cruelty and alleged child endangering due to filthy and unsanitary conditions in the residence, according to a press release from Sheriff Dave Duchak.

At the conclusion of the search warrant, 125 dogs, many being puppies, were seized by the Miami County Animal Shelter.

Fraley, on assignment at the animal shelter while the director is out, said the smell of ammonia (urine) was so strong that those removing the animals could only stand to be inside for a couple minutes at a time, even wearing protective masks. She described the condition of the dogs as having their hair matted in fecal matter. Dogs were found to be living inside some of the furniture, forced to make their own place to sleep, often in the filth and waste, according to Fraley.

Miami County Public Health has condemned the residence due to unsanitary conditions, Duchak said. He said teenage children also were placed in a different residence by Miami County Children’s Services with a safety plan put in place to further monitor their well-being.

Local veterinarians and dog groomers are assisting the animal shelter with the care of the dogs, he said.

On Tuesday, shelter officials, along with about 10 volunteers, were working to bathe the animals. Some of the dogs’ hair was so badly matted that they will probably have to be shaved, Fraley said. Following baths, puppies were being sorted, making every effort to keep them with their mothers, and insuring that un-weened puppies were able to nurse. Older puppies were being separated by male and female while attention is made to see that all of the animals get proper food and plenty of water, Fraley said.

Duchak said the Miami County Animal Shelter is in need of donations of puppy food, dog food, and dog beds. The items can be dropped off at the animal shelter. If the shelter is closed, the items can be left at the front door.

Various rescue groups have been contacted to assist with the dogs and adoptions. The breed of the dogs consists primarily of toy poodles and shiz tzu, Duchak said. Those wishing to adopt a dog can go to the Miami County Animal Shelter website at https://www.co.miami.oh.us/shelter. After an application is completed, it can be emailed to animalshelter@miamicountyohio.gov.

Fraley said that neighbor complaints regarding the residence go back to at least 2016. The owner of the residence was reportedly a registered American Kennel Association breeder and was paid $800 per puppy.

Duchak said on Wednesday that the homeowner, who has not yet been charged, relinquished the rights to 122 of the dogs. This allows the animals to be re-homed instead of being held as part of the pending case, he said.

“I’ll give her credit for cooperating, ” Duchak said. “This frees us up to get the dogs into a home environment.”

He said three of the dogs are special to the homeowner and the teens, and she would not release those animals.

“They will be housed at the the Miami County Animal Shelter and the courts will decide if they receive those three dogs back, ” Duchak said.

He said 30 dogs already have been taken by a rescue and a second rescue has taken all of the pregnant dogs.

The investigation continues and the safety and well-being of the animals and children in the home were the first concern, Duchak said.

He said criminal charges will be forthcoming after consultation with the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office.

Larisa Solomon AKC poodle breeder -Troy Ohio

We purchased an 5 month old puppy from Larisa Solomon in Troy OH on 12/29/16. We took our puppy to be vet checked on 12/31/16 just 2 days after purchase. He was behind on his vaccines, infested with fleas, tapeworms, and substantially underweight. We paid 800.00 for a puppy whom we thought was coming from a reputable AKC breeder. I spoke with Larisa on the phone and via text message several times before making the 3 1/2 hr drive. Upon arriving at her house we found dirty substandard living conditions for the dogs inside the home. There was a strong odor of urine, feces on the floor and several dogs of varying ages ( at least 10 dogs in the home) There were 3 puppies from the litter my dog came from, a litter of 8 week old puppies and a pregnant female that we know of. I have had 2 vet visits as of now for worming, vaccines and flea control. We still have 3 more vet visits scheduled to catch him up on all vaccinations and to recheck a wheeze the vet detected on his first exam. When I contacted Larisa to notify her of our puppies condition, her only response was to return the dog for a refund. At that point we had already incurred a substantial vet bill and under no circumstances would we return him to those horrendous conditions. Please be aware and cautious of this woman as she is not providing proper general care and preventative care for her dogs. I must also add that according to the records she gave us upon possession our puppy had only been vet checked once by her vet at 3 days old and she states she does all her own vaccines and worming. The records are questionable at best.

These are not my feelings, they are the facts. Our puppy had only 1 vet check at 3 days old, was in need of rabies vaccine, leptosporosis, and booster shot. This was all determined based on the records/ registration packet Ms Solomon GAVE us! As for the deworming, the Panacur she was " giving" was improperly administered as the manufacturer instructions clearly state give 3 days consecutively. According to her OWN records this was only done correctly twice- at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. It's no wonder our poor puppy was infested with tapeworms which by the way is caused from FLEAS which he was also infested with. I have all supporting vet documentation to prove every one of my statements. As for horrendous conditions- the house was dirty, smelled of urine and I watched as 2 of the adult dogs urinated on the rug we were standing on. If you have nothing better to do than question my vets expertise, check them out- Animal Clinic Northview- they have an impeccable reputation. We initially wanted a rescue dog and now feel inevitably we did. We love him and are happy we can provide the proper care he deserves.

It’s very obvious that the good reviews are fake! They were all posted within hours/days of the negative review. Her home was condemned so I think it’s fair to say it was everything the original poster said it was. 125 dogs removed some of those dogs were dead and she’s selling these dogs for $800 each. She’s disgusting and anyone who defends her is the same!

We purchased our puppy on Jan. 8 and we are delighted with her. Larisa spent a long time explaining the care of the puppy. She showed us the medical records and the need for future vaccines. Yesterday we had her new puppy exam. The vet was very pleased with her health. Her stool sample was negative although they did say they need repeat exams for this when they are puppies. Larisa loves her dogs. We met the parents and they had great temperaments.

I purchased a beautiful little 8 week old apricot toy poodle from Larisa Solomon on December 30th 2016. I am very pleased with the beautiful puppy and her good health and personality shows me how well she was cared for. Larisa gave me records of all shots and deworming of the puppy. She explained the AKC paperwork and registration. She gave me a two week sample of the food the puppy was used to eating. She told me where to go to get the medication and vaccinations that would cut out expensive Veterinarian bills. I have Vet assisting schooling and experience so I will be giving vaccinations myself. The mother of my puppy was introduced to me. Her temperament was lovely as were all the others. Having puppies running around in the showing room does result in potty accidents. I'm sure she has her hands full in cleaning up after all the puppies. My puppy is learning puppy pad training very quickly, but I expect accidents. I did notice a shampooer for the carpets in the room. I am pleased with the entire experience of purchasing my puppy from Larisa and will definitely recommend her. I certainly know that my puppy is not from a puppy mill. All the puppies and dogs I saw were healthy, happy and they all appeared to be well taken care of.

I bought a 9 week old puppy from Larisa on 1/3/17. Our puppy is/was completely healthy. I spent over an hour at Larisa's home going through documents, where to get the puppy microchipped, the best place to get her rabies shot, how to properly care for her, and how to get her AKC registered. During the visit, all the puppies/dogs were very happy and it is easy to tell that Larisa and her daughters genuinely love and adore all of them. You can not expect a house to be spotless with multiple puppies/dogs, so saying they live in dirty conditions is quite the overstatement. I am sorry you are unhappy with your purchase, but defaming someone who tried to accommodate you is completely uncalled for. It is clearly stated in the contract that you can return your puppy within 2 days if it has any health conditions diagnosed by a vet. You seem to care for your new puppy a lot, but it is not Larisa's fault that you decided to keep him despite his alleged circumstances. We are very satisfied with our decision and I would most definitely recommend Larisa to others. I hope you find reason and have it in your heart to delete this hurtful post.
