Hello everyone,
There seems to be a recent issue floating around online where puppy mill brokers are pretending to be rescues by using keywords “adopt” and “rescues”
They are purchasing from puppy mills and selling for more (we use the term “flipping”), or selling for puppy mills and other backyard breeders under the guise of being a rescue. Really they are basically flipping dogs or pulling in sales for greeders.
There are also puppy peddling groups naming themselves “shiba inu for adoption” when it is NOT a rescue.. it is a puppy mill / broker / backyard breeder group.
To rescue Shibas from reliable sources please visit: https://www.shibas.org/rescue.html
And be wary on any online pages that seem to have a constant flow of just puppies available calling themselves rescues, likely they are just a sales broker. Most rescues have dogs of all ages.
How sad is it that some of the greeders responsible for homeless sheltered dogs are now trying to take the spotlight away from those dogs who need help to line their pockets by fooling people.
Shop responsibly or adopt.
