According to former volunteers, Ms. Peck has stolen dogs from unsuspecting people

One example is told by Joan Rudd: "On one instance, Kimi Peck asked me to hide a dog (a tiny Chihuahua) for her because the owners had learned she had their dog and they wanted it back. When Kimi Peck refused to give back their dog, they threatened to call the police. I would not participate in Kimi Peck's illegal activities. Kimi Peck then stuck the tiny dog in a filthy dirty cage without veterinary care. The tiny Chihuahua became sick while living in the cage and died just six weeks later.
