petfinder mess ups

Why is it every time I look at petfinder the dogs I look at are from breeders posting themselves on petfinder or the horses are $20,000

So are they a rescue or are they breeding these to raise money? I am lost.

I could be wrong, but it looks like a rescue got in cute little dogs and decided to "sell" them for a lot to make money and call it a fundraiser.

why wasnt the mom altered? and why was she allowed to have more pups? if they are a rescue?

I totally misread that... I missed that it was the SAME mom.

They had puppies from the same mom?

BREEDER!!!

Some rescues do that.

Maybe the dog's owner let her get pregnant then gave the litter to rescue, and when she got pregnant again, they gave HER to rescue. ??? Otherwise, I'm VERY confused right now ....

There are people who breed dogs and then post them as rescues, charging an adoption fee. I seriously doubt this is a bone fide rescue.

iam reminded of Gentle giants "rescue" here in CA...they are rare rare rare breed puppies at every moment.

I'm wondering if a breeder "donates" the dog to the rescue for fundraising purposes?

Can you report listings to PF? Whether it's a breeder selling his or her dogs, or a rescue trying to raise money, it's inappropriately listed on Petfinder.

thats what I was thinking???

but wow... I looked for a report button, but I couldnt find one cause I was going to do that yesterday!!
