May 17, 2010 from [email protected]] KIDNAPPING TOO5:27 PMTo: Northwest Animal HealingSubject: dog broker masquerading as rescue/pet theft continues to rise For some time now dogs of all breeds have gone missing in alarming numbers, many are targeted "pure bred" dogs only, others are not. Dog Brokering is taking place all over the country, NO particular area is exception. In addition to animals being sold into medical research, many and mostly the smaller breeds are being sold in either Mexico or Canada. The States of Ohio, New Jersey & Wisconsin, contain numerous product testing facilities (not counting Universities & Pharmaceutical live animal testing in every state) Previously people were paid to obtain animals for these facilities and sold to a federal brokers for $25, who in turn sold those dogs for $500 to such facilities ! Now that the licensed brokers are currently under investigation, this leaves brokering wide open for those who were being paid $25 to continue to obtain dogs for such facilities for a much higher fee. Iams dog food and Eukanuba in Racine, WI are two dog food companies who obtain dogs for testing, there are probably many more flying under the wire. This is one way of brokering.

The second as you will see in the video, is obtaining dogs from the states, sold in Canada and Mexico to unsuspecting adopters. Dogs in the states are obtained in many ways, via snatching them out of their own yards/cars, dogs not in fenced yards, from other shelters/rescue groups, and from groups posing as legitimate adoption agencies. **Smaller dogs are in a huge target range group, they are much

= (PASTOR) DIANA LEWIS MARCH 16, 2010 New Haven, CT Phone: 203-823-5337 E-mail: [email protected] This woman is a heavy smoker and does not have the financial means to take care of a pet properly. Her former kitty suffered with asthma and cancer for years before she finally had her euthanized. Despite the asthma, Diana continued to smoke in a closed room with her cat. The cat had severe mats, but this was not addressed. She also had flea allergies but Diana could not afford to purchase flea remedies for her. Another cat was left to suffer for days with a urinary blockage (again due to lack of money for vet care), and was finally euthanized only after animal control was contacted and a complaint was filed. I know this woman personally-do NOT adopt any animals to her. She will be looking to adopt in a few months-probably over the summer.

Yardley, PA AND JEFFREY LOY MARCH 12. 2010 BY Cocker Spaniel Rescue (www.nyabandonedangels.com), member of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals. Unbeknownst to Abandoned Angels, Loy has previously been charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty. Abandoned Angels became aware of Mr. Loy's background only upon being informed by a witness who was present during their "training" that Mr. Loy repeatedly beat and kicked the two Cocker Spaniels in the presence of the adopter, Ms. Barr, and that he also used a cattle prod on at least one of the dogs. Upon receipt of this report Abandoned Angels made an emergency trip to Ms. Barr's home in Yardley, PA, to reclaim both Cocker Spaniels. Ms. Barr released the dogs only upon being threatened with legal action.

solely on the fact that he was FIV positive, he was otherwise healthy and proclaimed so by the vet that had seen him for 18 months. She did this without contacting the foster home he had just come from. I am personally familiar with this situation, the information is accurate. This woman technically didn't even "own" the cat yet. She took him on as a foster to see if things would work out with him at her home. She never contacted the woman who has fostered Slim for the last year and a half before having him euthanized.

12/14/09 from shannon.talanca@ verizon.net DISTURBING SITUATION: Ads popping up on the Philadelphia Craigslist from HIDDEN ACRES"promoting "open adoptions" which means anyone can show up and take a puppy home for a fee of $250, with absolutely no application or home visit. ALL are puppies (most 12 weeks and under), and 98% are small, fluffy dogs.

In addition to posting ads on Craigslist with links to photos supposedly of Associated Humane Societies in Newark, NJ. The photos display filfhy conditions stating that most rescues/shelters are run this way and most do not use funds for the animals, but rather to "line pockets". They have also begun posting on the global Craigslist Pets Forum section telling people "don't go to shelters and rescues"

Googling their phone number (856-469-7905) , I found a ton of Classified ads for puppies of the same breeds for SALE, not adoption. This person claims to "rescue" puppies from puppy mills that have "gotten too big" to be sold, yet nearly all of the dogs are 12 weeks of age or under. I happened to be online and in the Craigslist Pet Forum early this afternoon when the person who runs this outfit was online and she stated several different "explanations". First, they were all

- 5 - Do Not Adopt  Do Not Adopt  Do Not Adopt puppy mill rescues. Then, that she breeds bulldogs and bull terriers for show. THEN, that she gets the puppies from local private breeders to "help them find homes" (this would be called a puppy broker). Whether she is actually breeding them or acting as a puppy broker, I do not know, but I find it incredibly disturbing that she is claiming to be a RESCUE, and in the same breath telling people to stay AWAY from shelters and other rescues. website: http://www.hiddenac resrescue. com/,. I do not know what, if any, laws are being broken, but I would think there must be something wrong with selling these puppies under the pretense of rescue. If anyone has any legal expertise and can check into what, if any, laws are being broken, that would be great. I also think it would be fantastic if anyone had contacts within Animal Control in her area (south New Jersey). I would be very curious to see what conditions these dogs are being kept in, and if she is over the legal limit. They also have a puppy-peddling website with puppies for sale, http://www.sjbestpu ps.com/.

Anyway, I find this whole situation disgusting and I cannot believe that people are going to this place thinking they are adopting a rescue dog, when in fact, they are buying and supporting a backyard breeder/puppy broker.

Thanks in advance for crossposting and helping to expose this scam!

Lori Durante, Angelo Corradino Goldens Bridge From Ann McGiffert May 2009 I have two people’s names to add to this. .She has a Beagle that is about 10yrs and she recently went on vacation for 4 days and left the dog locked in the bathroom and had no one go over there and take care of her. She also had a cat as well and decided she did not want it any more so she left it outside and would not let it back in. The neighbors said it would sit there and just cry at the door. The cat was just hit by a car last week and killed. . These two people should never be allowed to own another pet as long as they live.

She adopted a 4 year old cat from The cat was taken to our vet by her last week at our instructions. He determined that the cat has been abused. The cat was discovered to have a broken jaw, probably the result of a bb pellet that was removed from his mouth. His tail was dislocated, possibly as a result of it being slammed in a door and he was found to have bb pellets in his abdomen and rear end area. The ASPCA is investigating what happened to the cat while in her care.
