waiting for adoption. So I think you're right she started out well intentioned. Apparently she was fostering two of the dogs from an out of state rescue. When that organization showed up at her house to retrieve the dogs because they had potential permanent adopters, they discovered what was happening. They took back the two that were from their rescue and then immediately contacted local authorities.

My sister said she is surprised the neighbors didn't notice something off and report it earlier. She lived in a housing complex so it seems like they'd have seen something. Also I was surprised the Rescue didn't check her out more before placing dogs with her.

I know a German Shepherd Rescue that I donated to, use to do required home checks before placing a dog for fostering or adoption. Unfortunately they are no longer operating, because the wonderful lady at the heart of it, died of cancer. 😢
