Fake Dog Rescue

[Catherine]

They have finally shut down a fake dog rescue in California. Pawlosophy has been linked to a number of dead dogs. The dogs that were seized are very ill.
The woman who ran the "rescue" has used a number of names at different times.  It is unclear where the puppies she sells are coming from.

It is bad that this has gone on so long. Her puppies might be from Mexico. Most likely they are from a puppy mill. They certainly have not been looked after.
There is little regulation of private rescues. This is something that needs to be corrected. There are fake fund raising groups, but in this case it goes further. She actually had animals who were not receiving proper care. I don't know what we can do to shut down or even recognize fake rescues or bad rescue groups. Something needs to be done.
