To the average consumer, Broadway Puppies might appear to be a retail adoption center; the store has over two dozen animals up for adoption, sourced from two animal rescues: Bark Adoptions and Pet Connect.
The dogs are all purebred or designer hybrid puppies, eight to sixteen weeks old, selling for between a thousand and six thousand dollars. The dogs are also being sold with health warranties and high financing options. None of this adds up to seeking adoption fees for rescued animals.
Broadway Puppies gets its pupies from Bark Adoptions based in Menifee, California, but they get their dogs from Rescue Pets Iowa in Ottumwa, Iowa. The person behind Rescue Pets Iowa is Jolyn Noethe.
She’s a puppy mill broker exposed last year for her fraudulent animal rescue, Hobo K-9 Rescue, which was selling puppy mill dogs to pet shops, including three in California.
She is using Bark Adoptions as a pass through to sell mill-bred puppies to California pet shops like Broadway Puppies and National City Puppy.
This fraudulent rescues has been passing off mill-bred puppies to unsuspecting California consumers. And the pet shops that have been partnering with these “rescues” have been fully complicit in this deception.
