They are doing everything under the image of "rescue". I am not sure what is really going on but it does not make sense that a Scottie Rescue would be listing breeder dogs unless there is some reward for doing this and if this is the case and it is $$$ then I don't think Uncle Sam would be real happy that are saying they are a non-profit organization.
I think from the breeder's standpoint this is an ethical/moral issue and shame on them for using the cover of "rescue" to hand their responsibilties when it comes to placing their dogs or in this case they are using petfinder as their marketing tool to cover more people to get rid of their dogs. What is especially upsetting is this is a board member of a Biewer Club who says everything they do is in the "betterment of the breed" and to me this is very low class way to handle placement of her dogs. I think everyone would be very upset if a board member of the YTCA did the same thing. Reputable breeders DO NOT DO THIS!!!!! |
Thank you! I'm just floored by the type of sneakiness. How can people be so evil and money hungry?!
The "foster" I got Bijou from never gave me her last name. I have to mail her proof of Bijou's spay and instead of her giving me her name and address, she gave me an envelope with her business or kennel name on it...which is Foxcreek and if anyone wants to know they live, it's in Buffalo Junction, VA. I did a search on her physical address (where I picked Bijou up from) and her name (Jessica) and Foxcreek. I found her listing Yorkie puppies on a site called Breeders.net. What I learned from this (thanks to Livingdustmops helping me) was if you want to rescue a yorkie or other breed go with a breed specific rescue group that has a proven track record. It's heartbreaking to think that I probably supported a puppy miller. I can't say that for sure because when I asked Jessica if I could see Bijou's mother since she was still there too, she told me no and that she wasn't playing show and tell (rude, right?) We just signed her little spay agreement form, paid her $500, scooped Bijou up and was shoved out the front door...we were in and out in like 5 minutes. Not something you'd expect from a "foster" right?
My reason for this rant is to hope to educate others by our experience and hope that others don't have this happen to them. It's sad to say but because this happened to me, I will always do more research on any rescue group I consider adopting from in the future.
