UNSCRUPULOUS RESCUES & BROKERS POSING AS RESCUES Compounding - TopicsExpress



          

UNSCRUPULOUS RESCUES & BROKERS POSING AS RESCUES Compounding the problem is the fact that many rescues are unlicensed and unregulated and are acting in the same capacity as PET stores or brokers: they are in the BUSINESS of SELLING dogs. Things to watch for or be aware of: Cash only adoptions coupled with on-the-spot adoptions (not all cash-only transactions are questionable) High volume of puppies for adoption High volume of purebred or designer breed puppies Charging more for purebreds than mixes No health records and, if crossing state lines, no inter-state HEALTH CERTIFICATES. No health guarantee for the animal, even for 48-72 hours No actual persons’ names or phone numbers listed on rescue websites or PetFinder pages Delivers dogs to adopters in public places, like parking lots and parks or homes of friends. Uses different names (aliases) to sell/adopt dog Uses different phone (typically cell) numbers to avoid detection. Switches different towns for locations, especially if the towns are in close proximity to one another or in the same region. For example: A PO BOX vs actual address. advocateforsavingdogs.org/unscrupulousrescuesbrokersposingtoberescues.html
