This has been circling for quite a while. Figured I should pass it along.

Subject: Scammer looking for "bait" dogs
Recently we received a call from a man claiming to be a dog trainer.
He said that he rehabilitated dogs and trained
them for various companies including for the handicapped. He also said
he
was from USA Dog Training and he personally trained Cesar Millan.
He will tell various different stories, but basically wants to get free
dogs. He claims to have federal and state licenses. He recently stole
dogs
from a Jefferson County shelter. He is from Topeka and claims that he
just
moved there from California .
If fact, he is a big scammer. Nothing he says is true. He told us he
wants
aggressive dogs to rehab and med. to large sized high drive dogs.
We got a call from the Kansas Animal Health Department to warn us about
him.
They were trying to warn everyone before he called, but he had already
called us.
We believe he is using these dogs for pit-bait. We believe he is
selling
these "high-drive" or "aggressive" dogs that he gets from shelters to
pit
fighters who use them to "train" there dogs to fight and kill. He lives
in a
trailer in Topeka with his brother. Last time it was checked, he had 14
dogs
that he keeps in tiny pens in and around his trailer.
Please do not release any of your dogs to him.
They are trying to make a criminal case up but he just keeps staying one
step in front of the law.
Fake Company Name: USA Dog Training
Thanks and Good Luck
Please forward to other shelters and animal people!
