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. |
People are evil because of their greed for money and animals are a fairly easy way to get it.
I had hoped when I read this thread that you would come forward and tell your story...while the breeders are different the "rescue" is not and everyone should be aware of what this woman from Scottish Terrier Club is doing in the name of rescue. I will tell you it would be very difficult to see what is going on with this rescue but if you go and look at all the dogs she has listed on petfinder there were only two that were scotties and the rest were all othe purebred dogs...the other key is that she states none of these dogs are in her possession. While breeders will turn their puppies over to rescue when they can't sell them..the rescue is not a go between and has physical ownership of the dog. Right now YTNR has two puppies listed on petfinder for $800/$900 dollars. These dogs have been turned over to their rescue organization to place them in a good home.
