Tex Peg,  I am Maren.  And we have been in communication via my email account.  Could you please take of my private email from this thread.

I am sad that there have been so many bad people and dishonest people that this poor deaf lady who won't take a penny and Maren from von Degenhard are not seen as the kind honest people they are spending their own time and money and accepting nothing from anyone.  They are busy feeding newborn puppies 24/7 and taking pups to the vet etc. etc.  Please, however the confusion arose (remember the dumpers of the puppies left with the adult dogs) in getting photos of adults (probably off the dumpers website) the angels that are helping save these dogs are innocent.  

There is no problem regarding adoptions.  As with any abandoned dogs that are rescued, those that abandon animals have no rights.  As with all rescues, they should be charging a nominal fee to offset spay/neuter and shots and weed out those who can't bother taking proper care and just want a free dog.

I wish I could force this angel to take the money I offered.

They only are taking money for adoption fees, not from anyone else...nothing wrong with that.  If you are not getting anything from them they were NOT taking money.  All rescue places charge a fee...for one thing easy to weed out those that don't even want to be bothered paying 250 to compensate for vet and spaying for a 1200 dog.  I did rescue for years and we always charged some fee.

adoption fee is reasonable. That is acceptable but this breeder who threw them out is not. They should be held accountable.

I want to make something clear. I wrote yesterday about getting a letter to adopt one of these puppies for $ 250. I was unclear about who this was from as I didn't yet know the questions that were mounting about this situation. The letter I received was from someone who was only trying to help this lady who was supposedly left with all these babies. This lady to my knowledge was in no way involved in a scam , if there is one. Maren was only trying to help. I want everyone to knnow when all this happened, it was still new and unknown what was going on. The $ 250 was trying to have some kind of control who got the puppies, understanding that if you paid $ 250 , you would likely give it a good home. I hope I've made this clear as to how I understand it. Maren was thinking of all these babies and finding them loving homes. She stepped into a mess. Thank you Maren.

Apparently some people are confused so for the record let me clarify for you: 

YES THIS IS A SCAM #1

My website is in fact copyright protected and has been since 2004

MY photos are NOT on photobucket ----- other then the one this person stole!  The only way this person obt'd the photo of my female is either from my web site or from this database!

YES THEY DID ASK FOR MONEY AS I HAD A FRIEND REPLY TO THE AD ON CRAIGSLIST and he was told they cost $500!!!!!!  No mention of adoption fee for rescued puppies!  Also ... the person said yes the parents of the puppies are shown -------- WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL THIS other then a scam!

As far as trying to hide their breeding  --- misrepresenting the parents of the litter ---- that is a scam!

If they simply posted that they rescued puppies and were trying to find homes for them then I would not object!  I am very active in GSD Rescue!  BUT....by posting my dog with "Mother" above the photos of the puppies is dead wrong .... ALSO saying that the owner of the MOTHER and Father used to be good breeders but abandoned their puppies and the parents ........................ again with the photo of my bitch as the MOTHER implies that me as her owner abandoned my dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY WOULD NOT BE DISTURBED BY THIS IF IT HAPPENED TO THEM IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH OR IS AN IDIOT!!!!

OF COURSE I AM MAD ---- like I said .... if the ad simply stated that these puppies needed to be rescued, I would have no problem with that ............ but by using a photo of my female and identifying her as the MOTHER is wrong and saying the breeder abandoned them (obviously the owner of the mother as this would indicate) IS WRONG!  Believe me I know that MAREN was only trying to help, she did nothing wrong and I am very thankful to her for contacting me.  Maren like all of us loves GSD's and wants the best for them.  Again, Thank you Maren.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO IS SIMPLE ................BE HONEST!

I am allowed to have my opinion...if you disagree, you are entitled to, it's a free country but don't condem me --for what I feel!

PLEASE NOTE:

MY ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE RESCUE LADY OR MAREN!!!!  I AM THANKFUL THAT THEIR ARE PEOPLE LIKE THEM IN THE WORLD.  MY ISSUE IS WITH THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT THESE PUPPIES INTO THE WORLD AND ABANDONED THEM!!!!  THEN, IN ATTEMPT TO "HIDE THEIR BREEDING" USED MY FEMALE AND IDENTIFIED HER AS THE MOTHER"  PLEASE SEE MY POST ABOVE.

IF THE "BREEDER" HAD TO HIDE THEIR BREEDING --- THERE IS A REASON WHY!

PEOPLE LIKE THAT MAKE ME SOOO SICK AND I IN NO WAY WANT MYSELF OR MY DOGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT KIND OF PERSON OR PEOPLE!

AS FAR AS THE PUPPIES............. I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO TRY AND FIND THEM FOREVER LOVING HOMES!  AS STATED I AM VERY ACTIVE IN GSD RESCUE.  ALSO RESCUE IN GENERAL.  I LOVE ALL DOGS AND HAVE MY ENTIRE LIFE.

@ hunger4justice Your comment:  "Please, however the confusion arose (remember the dumpers of the puppies left with the adult dogs) in getting photos of adults (probably off the dumpers website) the angels that are helping save these dogs are innocent.  "

Yes, the "angels that are helping to save these dogs are inncocent" as am I.

My point exactly .... you assumed that the people got the photos from the "dumpers" web site..............see that is what I mean!!!!  Of course people would think that!!!!  That is what upsets me!!!  I am in NY, not Texas and would give my life to save any of my dogs, I love them more then anything! 
I am not involved at all other then having my photo stolen and utilized as the "Mother" of the puppies.

I pray these puppies find loving homes, they didn't deserve to start their life this way.

Who is this long time breeder that left a box of babies to die and other little ones to do the same. This breeder needs to be known. There is no excuse.
