I have Thumper posted on Petfinder and on here. He has had a really good day today. I just try to watch the dogs closely when they are all out together. The only time there has been a real problem is when Romeo or Addi try to get near Tori (which they love to try to do). A scary thing just happened though. I have already received 4 replies back from Petfinder and 2 of them gave me their phone numbers. I searched their phone numbers through google and the one is a pet collector. She has a history of getting pets from petfinder or the pound and breeding or trying to sell them. Her post sounded really good (she said she worked for a vet and had experience with abused animals). I am glad I did a google search on her number. Here is what i found out: (this is copied from my google search that I did on her phone number):
I received this post on several of my Yahoo groups. I do not have any further knowledge about the accuracy of these allegations, but with so much of this stuff coming to light lately, I thought I'd go ahead and post this in case anyone has any dealings with this person.
Here is the post and attached photo:
DO NOT ADOPT! Breeding and selling pound dogs!
Tina Wise
TLC Rescue
Frazeysburg, Ohio (near Newark, Ohio in Central part of the state)
I bought this deplorable Dobe (picture link attached) in this evening from Frazyburg and the woman there is breeding everything from Dobes, Min Pins, St. Bernards & Boxers. I brought in a Min Pin that I don't have the picture taken of yet and she got him from a pound down that way to breed her female and now has a litter of pups from that but has left this male in awful shape. She has St. Bernard pups also 6 weeks old very sick. I also brought in a female Dobe very ill and starved almost to death. Her name is Tina Wise and she is calling her place TLC Rescue but it isn't a rescue but a breeding place. She says she needs dog food because the Humane Society who helps with dog food isn't helping anymore. I have a St. Bernard I want to try and bring out of there Friday but my friend I need help seeing if there is a way to stop her from starving the animals she is getting from the shelters and just stopping her from getting anymore to breed. Any advice is welcome. Take care, carolspowell@aol.com">carolspowell@aol.com
