I was told during her designer pup phase she was getting pups from a now shut down pup mill broker from so cal and mexico.
Ginger has some amazing tech buddies who delete a lot if negative internet information on her one day its there next its gone.

In all fairness she's smart...she's not a direct broker anymore now she worked between a foreign broker and a web site broker keeping herself in the shadows.

When Scoobers was chipped to her the homeagain operator said Ginger currently had about 300 dogs registered to her! Scoobers alternate coontact on his chip was a Sylvia something and the phone number was to Mexico, but the Bay Area pound where Ia got Scoobers said they see about 100 dogs registered to that number a year getting abandoned at pounds.

They can't do anything unless they catch the people dumping them and the chip reg proves nothing...these people just say a buyer got the pup and necer changed the chip and dumped the pup.
Sage the adoption cordonator trued to pursue the issue but their hands were tied. These pups are still comming in registered with different brokers they're always ovet 3 months so they guess if they dobt sell young they get dumped, most dumped are of undesirable characteristics basically they're all bigger.

I put Scoobers in my name but never forgot hers.

Scoobers was terrified of people outside grass brushes he was a mess.
Covered in fecies he was listed as black yorkie x but he's a a silver and chocolate schnorkie.
He has massive ear infections and had feces packed into his ears, the vet said he had either veen in a bottom cage with it dripping down onto him and into his ears for months or someone had shoved it down in them. He still has scar tissue visible from the infected sores in his ears.

His paws were cut raw and infected from the wire cage flooring.

His fear aggression and general unsocial behavior almost made him ineligible for adoption.

Scoobers was just over 5 months old when I got him.

I was told at the tine he is a classic pup mill puppy in signs and symptoms.

So glad I knew Sage from chin farm fostering and rescue and she helped push our Scoobers through the adoption evaluation, he really is the best dog ever. Milo and him are the idea example of a boy and his dog. Scoobers is 4 now and completely rehabilitated.

Thanks.

We're lucky to have him he has taught us so much we didn't even know we weren't aware of.

It was a long journey and the learning curve was a tight one, there were times I honestly admit I wanted to give up it seemed overwhelming.

Looking back on it I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
