| Help Close Bad Nj Rescue NJ COLLIE RESCUE AND REFERAL - WHITEHOUSE, NJ. They currently have 7 "Tea Cup" Yorkies (As they have them advertised) on Pet finder. They also have numerous other small pure bred dogs. They claim they were rescued from a dog auction but reality is they were bought from a mill and are being resold at a profit. PLEASE READ BELOW AND HELP STOP IT. Alert – NJ Puppy Broker Posing as a Rescue on PetFinder.com Complaints about sick puppies received from Ohio, New York and New Jersey Be aware of this individual: Vicki/Victoria Patterson, NJ Collie Rescue and Referral, Whitehouse, NJ 08889 NJ Collie Rescue & Referral This so-called rescue is operating like your run-of-the-mill pet store. It was confirmed in a conversation with the commercial kennel owner on June 23, 2008 that all or most of the purebred puppies listed on NJ Collie Rescue’s PetFinder website (NJ Collie Rescue & Referral, Whitehouse, NJ: Adoptable Pets: Petfinder) were purchased from the MO breeder whose kennel name was superimposed on some of the pictures. In fact, the breeder stated she was under the impression that Vicki Patterson was a pet shop owner when she purchased the 12-14 week old puppies at prices “far less than the usual advertised prices” of $200 found on the website. Patterson, advertising as NJ Collie Rescue and Referral, demands cash only for her ‘special rescue rates’ of $500 to $745! It’s also deceptive to state the puppies were ‘saved from auction’ when the MO breeder confirmed what we’ve known for years: that young puppies are rarely, if ever, sold at auctions - that most of the dogs found at puppy mill auctions are older, retired breeders. Reputable rescues attend auctions to buy these poor “used up” breeders to rescue, rehabilitate them and adopt them into approved, qualified homes. Plus, their adoption fees are much less than these pet-store prices. And most importantly, Patterson/NJ Collie Rescue do not guarantee the health of the puppies once they are adopted. We all know that puppies born in commercial kennels, i.e. puppy mills, are highly prone to contagious, congenital and /or hereditary diseases and defects that can run into the thousands of dollars to treat or cure. Visit this PetFinder forum link to read about previous problems associated with Patterson and NJ Collie Rescue: Petfinder.com forums :: View topic - So I was scanning the NJ Shelter listings [ ] What You Can Do: Please contact PetFinder.com and ask them to remove Vicki Patterson and NJ Collie Rescue & Referral. Allowing brokers to advertise and sell puppies on PetFinder.com defeats PetFinder’s purpose and mission and insults the reputable rescues who work honestly and tirelessly to find homes for thousands of unwanted and homeless animals. Contact: Cary Moran, Public Relations Coordinator Email: Cary@Petfinder.com Copy: Kim@petfinder.com Thank you for all you do for dogs and animals everywhere, and for keeping PetFinder safe from unscrupulous dealers and puppy profiteers!
