I was not attenpting to alienate her but she truly and honestly did not answer my questions, sigh!!!! And if she would do so, I would comprehend just exactly what it is she is trying to do and she did say she was open to ideas. So hence my reply.
Unfortunately, puppy millers have many Kims - if indeed she is a broker. She may be well intentioned and just not realize that by rewarding them financially, she is only perpetuating the puppy mill. (She did not say how old she was). If she is utilizing this site for her brokering, then I will not worry about her being alienated. |

Lil Kirk, I understand what you are saying and it's nice that you want to give the benefit of the doubt to people.

She says: Quote:
Funny how these people all leave in a huff when someone asks them legitimate questions and she did not answer ONE of them. I would have no problem answering any and all questions about the policies and operations of Lucky Rescue. In fact, we welcome questions. But then, what we are doing is not immoral and unethical. |

Fair enough--the reality is that I am not in the rescue business so I suppose I am not truly able to read btw the lines of all the "Kims" out there!
I guess I was just hopeful she would come around...ah...too much optimisim (though normally I am not like this!). |

benefit of the doubt suggestion
KimC, if you are truly trying to help these dogs and what you are doing is legit.. How would you feel about someone visiting yourself, the dogs in foster care and the miller? This can be arranged between Nov. 24 - Nov. 28. Please respond in this thread as I would prefer to agree or respond to this on the board.

True---I do feel bad for the original poster though---they're hunt for a Bichon Frise has sort of died out!

So if Kim is a broker, or acting like one, if that's even possible to act like one... why is she allowed to post here and tell people (everyone she comes across that matches a breeder she knows) about dogs she "rescued"?? I didn't think that type of person was welcome here... but of course I could be wrong.

and if she is a rescue, why is she posting in the classifieds on petfinder? If she was a rescue, I would assume she would have a rescue page and post in the other areas of petfinder, not the classifieds.

Of course that type of person is not welcome, and it was very suspicious how she always had the type of dog someone was looking for available - even hard to find dogs, like young Chis, Yorkies, "poo-type" mixes and now Bichons - all puppy mill favorites.
But until she just recently, on this thread, admitted to brokering there was no way to be sure. I"m not saying she doesn't do some legitimate rescuing, but this other thing cancels that out. I don't think she'll be back. Too many questions that cannot be answered and these people usually become irate and disappear when that happens. |

I am sorry if i caused a whole lot of problems but when she started talking to me on the phone i didn't think something sounded right. I hope that she does the right thing and not keep selling the millers puppies.

On the contrary, No No, your questions may have alerted us to her true intentions. I found it curious as well that she always "happened" to have just the right dog. (But one does not like to jump to conclusions)

I have stayed out of this but you guys are so right she always had a line on all these very popular small breed which we all know keep the millers and byb's in biz. No rescue would release a dog unvetted and not spayed or neutered unless there was some medical reason. Even then I am sure that would be addressed in your contract with the rescue. My guy was released unneutered but was on meds and could not be sedated while on them. So in my contract I had to produce neuter records from my vet within 1 week of a clean bill of health. My option to not neuter would have meant giving him back and most likely they would have taken legal action if I did not do either and I would expect nothing less from a reputable rescue. The reason he was released to me was he was in a different province and the transport was a problem so when it happened it happened and I gave my word and they spoke with my vet. This kind of dilligence on the part of rescues in not unheard of and in my opinion I would have thought something was not right if they would not have insisted on these things to ensure that Buddy was going to a good home.

I just wrote to Pefinder, and hope they will delete her ads on their Classified sections.

I can't even imagine how much money she's made this way... all the while she's talkin about saving animals... how screwed up is that? Screwed not being my first choice of words!

Thank you LR If we shut off her way of peddling these puppies then maybe she will stop what she is doing.
I am getting such an education from here in the last year. I never thought there were people around like that. Getting a pet is such a scary thing to make sure that you are getting them from the right people. |

Get a copy of the breed rescue and all breed rescue book that is in all Ontario shelters. Best place to start, the brokers and unethical rescues are not in it. You can view it online here http://speakingofdogs.com/rescue.html

I understand how you feel No No. Five yrs ago, I was still wandering the aisles of pet stores that displayed pets, sigh!!! But they never looked all that healthy and in retrospect, must have been sooooooo stressed!!!

Luckily Jenns reputation has finally and hopefully put her out of business forever. No loss to the rescue world.

She was well regarded back when she was Mud Huskies - but as happens with some she went off the rails.

She was Mud Huskies for quite awhile and rescued Huskies for a couple years before having a name from what I recall.
