| Dog fighters posing as rescue Dog fighters posing as rescue, please cross post! Do not adopt to Rebecca or Tony Williams This is not the first time this persons name has come around ... do not adopt/sell/place to/with them... PLEASE CROSSPOST * * * DO NOT ADOPT TO REBECCA OR TONY WILLIAMS * * * Tony & Rebecca Williams (e-mail: JaRuleW@aol.com ) claim to have a rescue in Rocky Mount, NC and are trying to get dogs from all over the Eastern Seaboard. (She offered to take 14 dogs since Monday) She continues to take dogs, most are pit bulls, with some offers to adopt Presa Canarios, Rottwiellers, Dobermans, and Wolf hybrids. In addition, she had previously posted that her roommate was looking for a Great Dane or Great Dane mix. She also posted that she was "desperate" for a Chihuahua and she really wanted a Mini Pin and a Jack Russell. She claims her rescue is a pit bull rescue, but another pit rescuer called the local Animal Control. Animal Control's comments: "She's been barred from taking any dogs from the shelters in her area. He also said she has a long criminal history, has been selling Pit Bulls on street corners for 15 or 20 dollars and has been under investigation for dog fighting." Atlantic Rescue has now banned her, after finding out this information. These are the breeds she has asked for: a.. Pit Bulls b.. Rottwiellers c.. Dobermans d.. Presa Canarios e.. Tea Cup Chihuahuas f.. Jack Russell Terriers g.. Shar Peis h.. Min Pin i.. Great Dane (Pure Breed or Mix) She uses the little dogs as bait! Please cross post. Please check for your breed above and notify all rescues. They are going out of their area looking for dogs to adopt. i found this on doberman talk forum

| Thank you for posting this and I will cross post it to other rescue organizations. Thank goodness someone took the time to call animal control. Just this afternoon I posted on a thread to call the local organizations to check out a rescue. I have known for a long time about using small dogs and puppies as bait in the fighting ring. Disgusting.

| People, please feel free to copy this post and send it to your local rescue organizations and animal control. This is a way you can help stop this hideous practice. It won't cost you any money but maybe a little time finding out email addresses. Rescue organizations operate on a grassroots theory and only through emails being passed along do they find out this information. There is no central database to check this stuff out. Please help!
