Russo's Newport Beach buys Mexican Puppy Mill Puppies

PHOTO CLEAN P MILL IS NOT ENOUGH WITH ARTICLE DESCRIPTION BELOW

CONTINUED~ According to the study, this can mean that after they are rescued, the dogs will need rehabilitation - and love - to overcome fears, phobias, heightened sensitivity to touch, house soiling and obsessive and repetitive behavior such as spinning in circles. The study's lead author, Frank McMillan, DVM, Director of Well Being Studies for Best Friends Animal Society, elaborated "we can now scientifically confirm how truly destructive these places are for the dogs". Dr. McMillan worked on the study with researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, James Serpell and Deborah Duffy. The study was based on a definition of puppy mill that defined them as "commercial breeding operations..., ... large scale facilities where dogs are confined in small enclosures for their entire lives with little to no exercise or positive human contact-for the sole purpose of mass-producing puppies to sell in retail pet stores and via the Internet."

(Click Photo) ~ The Truth about USDA Licensed Breeders ~ The USDA Commercial Dog Breeding Industry has been proven in federal trial to violate the specific rights Companion Animals possess under Federal Law "The Animal Welfare Act". These are basic rights of food, water, shelter, and to be free from torture. I Heart Puppies and Russo's are lying to the entire city. They do not use "Reputable Breeders." These stores hide their breeders with intent to deceive because their business depends on FRAUD. Digiacomo and the Bradfords are selling inexpensive fluffy cruelty they ship from the Midwest and tell citizens they are quality. Why do people believe them? Because their entire business practice and model is well calculated deceit, fraud, and double talk to CON the money from wealthy Newport Citizens in the thousands of dollars for factory bred puppies from highly diseased environments. They do it so freely because they have no conscience. They are selling the products of torture and cruelty. What makes any consumer think they care about lying or stealing your money?

Russo's Newport Beach buys Mexican Puppy Mill Puppies

Mexico puppy mill pups sold at pet store
Newport Beach, CA (US)

Incident Date: Saturday, Dec 31, 2005
County: Orange

Disposition: Not Charged

Person of Interest: Russo's Pet Experience

The Dinsmores shopped around for the right dog -- and were told Kate came from a reputable breeder in California. Until the police told them the real story -- the dog was from Mexico. "At that point I was really enraged, angry and sickened that I had basically been duped." And she's not alone.

Four-year-old Ava Bogart and her 7-year-old sister Adalia fell in love with their golden retriever puppy Goldie who came from the same litter. "They loved the golden retriever. They wanted to get it and we finally decided to get it." But Goldie -- who was also from Mexico -- got sick as soon as they got her home. They ended up returning the dog to the pet store after she was diagnosed with parasites and dehydrated. "The vet told my wife that if we wouldn't have taken the dog to the vet it would have been dead in 24 hours." These dogs weren't purchased from backyard breeders or fly by night puppy peddlers. Each was for sale for $2,000. One was purchased here at trendy Fashion Island in Newport Beach, the other at the Irvine Spectrum.

Both were bought at branches of Russo's Pet Store, where salespeople said the dogs were from California -- and even provided documentation. But the owners later discovered they were smuggled from Mexico. "When you go to Fashion Island you don't expect to buy a $5 dollar dog off a truck that just came back from Mexico." Becky Dinsmore is noticeably upset. That's because her puppy is facing two hip surgeries to fix genetic problems she believes stems from the dogs' breeding in Mexico.

At the San Diego border -- federal agents see puppies being imported illegally from Mexico all the time. In a task force in December 2005 -- vehicle searches turned up hundreds of puppies under 3 months old. They were found hidden in a make-up bag and under blankets. And they have hidden dangers. "Most of these puppies are too young, they have underlying diseases that we can't detect during a five-minute inspection."

But at Russo's pet store -- the owner, Dan DiGiacomo claims the dogs came from a reputable breeder. And DiGiacomo says the breeder told him the dogs came from California. They didn't and now he says he won't buy from him again. "I took him at his word. I'm sorry I didn't check up on it. Obviously that was my mistake. But his dogs are quality. It's not like they aren't quality dogs," DiGiacomo said. But tell that to the Bogart family who had to buy another dog to replace Goldie. And to the Dinsmore's. Their dog Kate is facing two serious surgeries -- and many months of recovery they never expected. "Our last dog we had for 18 years and we waited on purpose to get the right dog. But we certainly should not be going through this."

HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES SENIOR FIELD RESCUE OFFICER ~ ROWDY SHAW

(Click Photo) ~~ Raw Video: 1,000 Dogs Rescued From W.Va. Kennel ~ My puppy mill survivor Seabiscuit has been through every type of typical disease and struggle that comes along with being a puppy mill dog. But how does a Newport Citizen REALLY know about the squalor and conditions one could never fathom living in the safety of Newport Beach? Meet my friend Rowdy Shaw. Senior Humane Officer of the United States. His expert experience in the field of USDA Puppy Mills, tell tales of canine torture and cruelty photos and videos can do no justice to. CRIMES OF HUMANITY in mass proportions. All in the name of PET STORE PUPPIES. Devastating horrific acts perpetrated on Man's Best Friend, in the name of greed, with resonance of true evil.

THE VICTIMS OF PUPPY MILLS - VIDEO PHOTO " PLEASE STOP PUPPY MILLS"

(Click Photo) ~~ There are many victims of Puppy Mills. The mill dogs, their sickly offspring shipped from the midwest by truck or airplane that spend a lifetime suffering genetic ailments, the shelter puppy who is murdered because he has no home. Newport Beach sells animal cruelty to line the pockets of a few greedy INHUMANE business owners. Newport Beach has many profitable HUMANE Pet Stores that benefit highly financially. Newport Beach Pet Stores must be mandated to practice a Humane Business Model. Less our entire city commits itself to the sale and profits of animal torture and death for unethical businesses committing illegal consumer fraud, and victimizing our citizens and children.

FOSTER GIRL CHIHUAHUA 'BELLA" FROM DEATH ROW SHELTER

(Click Photo) ~ ~ "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING" ~ MY "BELLA" is one year and a half and rescued in the last minutes of her life. She was dumped in the shelter with her mother. Both shivering with fear and starvation, being too scared to eat, we worked at a furious pace collecting funds to get them out. Unfortunately by the time we had gotten funds together, the shelter had already murdered her mother, leaving 3lb.tiny Bella, terrorized and frozen in fear as her mother was ripped away from her to never return. She spent 2 nights by herself in a cold cement cell with no warmth in shock and frozen. The shelter never gave us a reason they felt the need to kill her mother leaving Bella alone, no extra space was made available, they callously stated "HER TIME WAS UP". I hand fed her for weeks to get her to eat, I had to follow her around the house just to pick her up, as she scattered away, coward with her belly down to the floor. She was scared of humans and everything around her. Although she stuck to me like glue when I held her, it took her days to lift her head and look at me in the eyes. When she finally did, she wouldn't stop staring with a desperate hopeful gaze of "are you for real?" She has bounced back beautifully! Her twinkle has replaced her old vacant and dark dull stare of hopelessness. I call her my little "Pony" as she prances around the house and rears on her hind feet to dance and play. "Bella" the beautiful little warrior for life, is the most playful, funny, and loving little soul. She will soon be finding a Very Special Home, if I am able to let her go. -- VIDEO PHOTO " THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING"
