I recently came across a "rescue", but it seems more like a money making scheme than a genuine desire to help homeless animals. This "rescue group" claims to help needy dogs but I found a link on their website that takes you to a breeder's website. I was about to send a letter to the "rescue group" when I noticed that the "rescue group" and this breeder were the one and the same! Now, if this breeder were seemingly reputable, I wouldn't say anything.
However, what I saw screamed of BYB. They used "AKC-registered" as a selling gimmick. They bred 4 breeds of dogs *continually* and they proudly claimed that they always have puppies available and that they're willing to ship worldwide. Finally, I saw that they sold a tiny 1.5 lb puppy for $2,000 whereas another larger puppy sold for $800. If that isn't BYB, frankly, I don't know what is!
But how would you feel when you know that this same person supposedly "rescues" dogs and is a non-profit corporation? This is frustrating me =/
