Can I still file complaints against a dog breeder after she has agreed to return my deposit without it beng considered harassment?
I put a $200 deposit on a puppy before it was born. After it was born everything was fine until I was informed by someone else that she had placed the puppy for sale on EBay classifieds for a higher price w/o stating that it was already on hold. She also placed it under a different user ID than the previous litter before. Her following responses to me after questioned were that she had meant to put hold on there. She then proceeded to insult me and my family for “flipping out over it”. She then stated she was placing all puppies for sale and I wouldn’t get my money until my puppy sold.

Under the laws of all states in this country, if you receive the return of your deposit to purchase the animal that you wanted, unless you have signed a written release accepting in full accord and satisfaction the $200 back, you are entitled to make a complaint against the dog breeder presumable through the American Kennel Association without it being considered harassment.
I suggest that if you get your money back that you simply move forward with your life and forget about the complaint.
