My Nonprofit Reviews

My goodness; the reviews are either all five stars or only one. That is a red flag. My hesitation to work with this rescue is due to the poor grammar, spelling, and wording of the descriptions. The writer should at least make an attempt of coming off as professional. As well, there is a lot of redundancy in the descriptions.
If the rescue does not take the care to present a well written page about the pet, then I would assume they do not take the care to be fully truthful, nor treat the animals with great care.
This rescue sounds quite fishy to me; and their fees? My daughter's lovely rescue was $40.00 and he couldn't be sweeter.

Please read this article from the Michigan State University Animal Law Legal Center:

Rescue groups and animal welfare advocates alike are at the forefront of speaking out against the puppy mill and commercial breeding industries. They are often natural enemies yet recently have found themselves in the same room doing business together. This room is the mostly unknown world of dog auctions.

Dog auctions are where breeders and millers can go to get rid of their unwanted stock, meaning the less desirable dogs, for quick cash. Rescuers have always had a presence at these auctions, but their presence has been in the back of the room waiting until the end of the auction to take the breeders unsellable dogs for nominal sums. Now, mostly because of the trend of breed specific rescue groups and the bans on pet stores there has been an influx of rescue groups raising money online to fund a trip to the dog auction to save dogs from the auction.

Through crowd funding, rescues come to auction and pay exorbitant amounts for specific breeds of a dog or puppy and bring it back to their rescue to adopt out, sometimes at a pet store price tag of between $500-$1,500. Many advocates see this as counter to the spirit of the animal welfare cause because the money goes into the pockets of millers and breeders who now can buy new breeding stock to continue the breeding cycle. Thus, eradication of puppy mills through limiting the demand is no longer feasible. Breeders know that rescuers are part of the system now and have even been reported as saying that they hold puppies at their kennels for longer so they can bring them to auctions and receive a higher profit off of the dog.
