She took the dog for free from this person looking for a loving new family for her dog and minuets later posted that same dog for sale on another FB page. My sister and the original owner found where this person lived when my sister called posing as a potential buyer for the dog and went an took the dog back.

It was found out later that it was not her first time doing it.
Wow. How stupid to try and flip the dog within minutes!

You know, not only private parties to this. Pet shops do too! The Puppy Store - Santa Ana, CA
This place is called the Puppy Store, and it has the same logo and design layout of a shop in LA called Orange Bone that places rescue dogs. So I walked in wondering how could a rescue afford a spot in the mall? Well when I walked in I saw puppies! Non AKC mixed breed puppies from out of state! And then there were a few "rescues" in the back, for about $300-500! I'm sure they pick out the "cute" ones from the shelter for $70 and flip them and sell them in their shop for hundreds!
