So I called the vet, well there is actually two vets listed both of the working at the same animal hospital. One of them were busy, go figure, the other one was out due to an injury. BUT I got to speak to the injured vets father, who also is a vet there and from what I understand the owner of the animal hospital. I asked if these two vets were correctly listed as ref's for this facility. He said yes his son was the one working the most with them. I asked how as veterinarians they didnt mind being associated with a puppy mill, because that is without a doubt what this facility is, the man said yes more or less. So that is confirmed. He asked if it was urgent, I said, not to me it wasnt, but we are looking into this place and next step is to contact AVMA and see how they feel about their ethical standards having a veterinary hospital with two vet's obviously supporting a puppymill, as their members. He said he didnt know what was on the website, so I suggested that it would probably be a good thing to check that out.
Then I called AVMA, no answer yet, they are in Il though, dont know what time they are on and maybe they dont start this early, I will try again later.
Then called The humane Society of the united states, spoke to a woman who said "ohhh my" and gave me the direct number to their person working with "outreach for companion animals" left a message there, so hopefully I get to talk to her too today.
I also tried the AAHA but they were not open yet, so also there Ill call later.
Ohh I also signed up for the American Breeders board, a place the webiste recommends, for information. That is a place where So called professional breeders i.e puppy mills and design breeders and others like that hang out and talk trash about rescue people. So a good place to pick up whats going on, I am not me lol, I am someone I hope does not exist and will just be there and see what info can be picked up.
Will also call this man.... did you all hear, we assumed it was a woman lol... nope it is a man, and see what breed he suggests for me to get my kids for christmas
thats that for now, Ill keep you all updated on whats happening and if you can come up with something I am not thinking about please let me know
