The following information was on my St. Louis dog list. It originated from the
Illinois Federation of Dog owners.  Marcia Hadley

Please pass this information to everyone so all our breeders and rescuers can 
be aware of this person. You have the right to bar entry to anyone who cannot 
provide accurate credentials if they are posing as an inspector. You should 
also call their supposed agency to verify that they are with that agency. If 
they are a puppy buyer, you should ask for their drivers' license and take a 
photo of the person and their vehicle. All breeders and rescues must be more 
vigilant as more people think to capitolize on the new HSUS breeder "bounty".



************************************************************************************************************


We have just received word that there is a young woman (probably 18 to 24 years 
old) posing as a puppy buyer or an inspector attempting to enter breeding 
facilities in the Northern part of Missouri and Southern sections of Iowa. This 
person is driving a white pickup with a silver stripe. At one place she visited 
she called herself Cara Goodman but the name on the driver's license she used 
at another facility was Cara Fitts. If you have anyone just show up at your 
facility with whom you have not had prior contact please follow the 
instructions below:

Do not let them in your facility for any reason. If they are posing as a puppy 
buyer ask to see their driver's license and write down the name found on the 
license. Ask how they got the information that you have puppies for sale. If 
they do not have a prior appointment with you to see puppies, ask them to leave 
immediately.

If you have a camera or a cell phone that takes pictures take her (or his) 
picture and a picture of the vehicle they are driving, if at all possible. 
After the person leaves call Karen or Anne at: 573-480-2389 or 573-364-6583.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is now offering a $5,000 
reward/bounty for tips resulting in the arrest and conviction of dog breeders. 
They have a 1-800 number on their website for anyone to call in a tip. To read 
more about this go to the MoFed facebook page at: https://www.fa 
cebook.com/MoFed.org or if you do not have a facebook account go to: 
http://www.examiner.com/article/hsus-puts-a-bounty-on-breeders . We do not know 
if this woman's actions are in any way connected with this announcement from 
HSUS but the timing is interesting.

If she or he is posing as an inspector, you need to know that ACFA inspectors 
do not inspect facilities on Saturday or Sunday. Ask to see identification and 
if he or she does not have a badge with the same emblem on it that is on the 
uniform being worn by this person then he or she is not a member of the 
inspection team for the state department of Ag.
