1. No reputable rescue would give papers on a dog because the only reason for papers is to breed and rescue does not encourage breeding of dogs unless they fit the standard. Papers mean nothing is you are looking to save a dogs life.
2. Her website does not encourage spay/neuter. Again
reputable rescue spays/neuters all of their animals. Any rescue knows we are killing 3-5million dogs a year due to overpopulation so this is insane.
3. Her prices are outrageous and you can buy a Yorkie for the prices she is listing.
4. Anyone can put anything they want on a website....it happens all the time and people should not believe what they read but investigate. Anyone can apply for the 401 (I have seen breed clubs right on here state they are 401 for their rescue) but this boils down to not paying taxes to the government and if they do not pay taxes then it doesn't matter. You can go to the state attorney general to report her but it will boil down to how she is handling her taxes.
5. The Yorkie that is being held in petfinder is more than 2#'s.
If you find out more information please report this to Petfinder as they will remove this (so called rescue) from their website as
people who do this are the lowest of the low.
I would call animal control in the area and see what they have to say.
I would also look at ripoff.com to see if anyone has anything to say about her and I would also try to track down the vet so I could get as much info as possible to shut this person down and hopefully to send them to prison for this scam.
