It was a CRATE LIFE at Chihuahua Rescue and Sanctuary!
"Finally, the Internet appears to be becoming a vehicle for national, and even international, solicitation for animals. HARC has personal testimony from people seeking to place a special-needs animal lured by an appealing website, only to find a hoarding situation when they happened to visit. There are some general characteristics that should at least raise the suspicion of hoarding (Kimi Peck was not charged or convicted of animal hoarding):
Unwilling to let visitors see the facilities where animals are kept
Unwilling to say how many animals are actually present
Little effort made to adopt, and much effort focused on acquistion
Continued acquisition in the face of declining care for existing animals
Claims of being able to provide excellent lifetime care for animals with special needs (paralyzed, feline leukemia positive, extreme aggression) without verifiable resources
Number and staff and / or volunteers inconsistent with the number of animals
Desire to receive animals at a remote location rather than on-site" HARC
