You are right.. But if they find out they are really brokers they will most likely boot them.. I found this:
Animal Welfare Organization Registration - Petfinder
I am going to put in a complaint and show on their web site where they buy from puppy mills. Maybe if enough of us complain the will do something.
Petfinder says:
"If you are an organization without official non-profit status:
* A copy of your ADOPTION CONTRACT (not the application); AND
* A letter of reference signed by your primary veterinarian (on his/her letterhead) confirming that he/she provides medical care for the pets in your rescue and adoption program."
I have to say I am very disappointed in petfinder for this. Anyone could claim to be a rescue to sell pets with this rule..
