That's crazy, "apple heads" and "hello kitty face." In the ad, she says,




I wonder if this is one of their dogs?

I think it's greed, and greed in the human heart is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today. They really believe that they are a fool not to take advantage of a "business opportunity." They love the fact they can pull one over on people with "bleeding hearts." So it's a battle between the bleeding hearts and the greeding hearts.

Yes this makes me sick too, I hope we can educate people enough to see through these types of "rescues." They say:



They are not on Guide Star, and they say you have to pay an additional $125.00 if you want the dogs neutered.

When I look on their black dog site, they say on there they are not 501.. So since they are not an accredited rescue how are they able to placed in the rescue section of petfinder? I just don't get how they are getting around that.

And the amount of dogs they have "placed" on there, are in the hundreds! I just don't get how people are able to get away with this kind of thing.

I doubt if anyone reports them, so many websites are handled automatically, and unless someone complains, nothing happens. I didn't even know that you had to be accredited in order to post there. Do they have a place to report ads?

Here is a link to a close thread from 2/09 when we first noticed them in the RF.

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-missouri.html

Of course I did a little detective work back them and this is what I posted on the other thread.



The reason the thread was closed back then was because there was a link back to YT and Diane Fisher has a forum that she directed with all of the new "rescue" owners. So we watched :cool: and she became to tell these people to join YT and defend her. :rolleyes: and they did! I even had the honor of one creating a SN Doodlebutt :D

So after all was said and done~YT found a new member and now a member of YHR RIPmyLilcase Jenny :) She joined to defend this rescue and saw what we all were talking about and joined YHR and is a foster home with us now. She even adopted one of her fosters :)

Now that there is a link back to YT again we will sit back and wait for the circus to begin again. :rolleyes:

They are a most definitely a mill posing as a rescue. When Jenny adopted Teddy, she was instructed to meet in the parking lot of a McDonald's were a van full of dogs/puppies pulled up from this rescue. A couple of workers got out and started to collect money and pass out dogs. The entire parking lot was FULL of families all believing this was a legitimate rescue.

Rest assured there is NOT A LEGITIMATE RESCUE anywhere that will pull up with a van full of puppies and start passing them out to families! NO way in HE!! would this go on EVER! :mad:

Teddy is a puppymill cast off since he has a deformed hind paw/leg that is partially missing. After Jenny saw what a real rescue does she knew that she had been taken~not to say she loved him any less :)

On petfinder? yes I believe so, I will check again but I am pretty darn sure they have to show their 501 status. At least they used to. I am going to go look now.. because you bet i will put in a complaint.

I am also marking them for fraud on puppyfind, they will remove them but they (these kind of "people") usually get back on with another account.
