A Long Island family is f!ghting for the right to keep their pet Golden Retriever Max, after a lending company threatened to have it repossessed unless they make a considerable final payment

Danielle Cittadino and her family bought Max from the Shake-A-Paw pet store, in Lynbrook , New York, a couple of years ago. The adorable puppy cost $1,200, but the Cittadinos couldn’t afford to pay all of it upfront, so they were offered a financing option from a company called Wags Lending

They checked Danielle’s credit and after she was approved, the Baldwin woman had to fill out a bunch of paperwork, which she admits she didn’t go through thoroughly. She a.ssumed that she was getting a loan, but in reality the contract specified that she wasn’t actually buying Max, but renting him until she paid all the required installments. Now the company is threatening to reposes the dog

“I had no idea it was a lease,” Danielle recently told News 12 Long Island. “You know, I hear of financing, it’s a loan.” Danielle says she made payments of $145.19 a month, on time, for 23 months, but then she learned that she had to make a final lease payment of $338.07 to finally become Max owner She claims she didn’t know about it, and refused to make that final payment, calling it a scam. However, Wags Lending reportedly called the Cittadinos to tell them that unless they settle their debt, they will reposes their dog.

The Cittadinos absolutely adore Max and consider him part of their family, but they refuse to be bullied by the lending company.

“It’s wrong, you can’t rip away a dog from a family, that’s been a part of their family for two plus years,” Danielle said. “I’m sorry but you’re not getting this dog back, nor are you getting this last payment. It’s a scam!”

News 12 Long Island reports that they’ve been getting similar complaint from other pet owners regarding Wags Lending, but according to consumer rights attorney Anthony Ballato, it’s all a matter of buyer beware.

So the next time you want to get a dog, be sure to read the contract carefully and make sure you are actually buying it, not leasing it

Dumb bi*ch

Ghost Terp said So they paid over $3000 for a dog , one that cost $1200 at that

But then decided the final payment was too much smh

Why would you pay $1200, didn't see the payment plan so it's over $3600, for a breed of dog that you can find almost anywhere for next to nothing especially if you go out of your way to find one

For $3600 that dog better have papers and the ability to work a 40 hr week somewhere to bring some money back into the house

Wags Lending



Sounds legit

Where'd you get financed bro?

Paws lending

As in

Pause Lending?


Naw, like paw...a dog paw..

Saw this on local news. Girl bye

Could have adopted instead. Costs less than 1k a YEAR to spoil a pup. And i'm talkig snacks, food, clean water, toys, clothes, shots, etc,. And who the fu*k leases pets?

Dumb bi*ch signed a flease on a dog, read everything you sign... she will be making that final payment unless she don’t want the dog no more

If u cant pay 337 to make this sh*t go away u dont need a dog

Hurtbro said So in certain cultures people that can’t afford a damn dumb a.ss worthless dog thinks it’s a good idea to take out a loan for one? I can see taking a loan out for sh*t u need like a car etc but for a stankin a.ss filthy a.ss dog?

Didn’t mean to slap

What a dumb bi*ch on so many levels.

Buy an animal you can get for free... cant afford to buy it up front so she pays 3 times the amount it cost over three years. Then after paying 3300, she refuses to pay the last $300 for it and she wants to cry victim? And after all this, she still picked up his sh*t for 2 years?!? This whole family needs to be put down
