 puppy mill PURCHASES
If there is any question as to Jennifer's motives, I hope this helps to clear it up. I attended a puppy mill auction with my rescue group last March in Thorp, WI. Jennifer was there and PURCHASED 34 puppies to the tune of around $4000.00. She was overheard telling people she thought it was "kind of fun" to bid against the rescue groups and drive up the prices of the puppies. My group, along with the other groups there are there simply to get these dogs out of bad situations and we were wroking together - Jennifer was the only "rescue" that refused to cooperate with us. The rest of us got together in order to not bid against each other and save as many animals as possible. We only purchase as many as we can afford to have treated by a vet - I spent over $400 on the first vet visit for the puppy I purchased. Everyone at the auction knows these are not healthy animals to begin with, but by purchasing dogs and not getting them proper medical attention, you are not helping at all - you are just causing more misery and heartache for whoever ends up with the animals. Jennifer tells people that she takes every puppy she gets into her personal vet and that the money from adoptions goes to cover vet costs. Obviously, from what we know about her, that is not the case. Jennifer used to have upwards of 75 dogs/puppies on petfinder at any given time, and recently they have all been removed - where did all the puppies go??? |
