About This Business

This company first came to the Cleveland BBB's attention in February of 2017.  At that time a Florida man reported shopping online for a puppy and sending $460 by wire-transfer to the sellers.  On the anticipated shipping day he received an e-mail asking for an additional $970 to cover insurance.  The man decided against sending any more money.

Using online sources BBB was unable to determine the company's true location.  The company's website, www.destinyboxerpuppies.com, contains what appears to be a Cleveland, Ohio, phone number, 216-202-5838.  However, the site was created on 02/25/17, has a 1 year expiration and is privately registered to an address in Panama.  

BBB was also unable to find any business filings for a company of this name with the Ohio Secretary of State.


Cute and fuzzy animals like puppies and kittens may be the most popular but BBB cautions consumers to be wary of purchasing any type of pet online.  

     * Beware of ads with multiple misspellings and grammatical errors; many pet scams come from overseas and scammers often do not have a firm grasp on the English language.

     * Do not send or wire money to people you do not know.

     * If purchasing a pedigreed pet, be sure the breeder provides documentation of the parents’ registration with the appropriate organization to ensure that the pet is in fact a legitimate pure-bred animal.

     * Before providing any personal information or money contact BBB online - www.bbb.org/cleveland - or by phone, 216-241-7678.
