Agreed with the others.
With that steep price, I would suspect dog flipping glorified as a "rescue". We have had a few of those around here over the years.
Some have just been really crummy "rescues" who think they are helping but didn't end up doing any real vet work on the dogs/no spay neuter, then selling to basically anyone without an application. Everything was a mess. Not good for the dogs at all. They had to shut down.
Some have been just people that take in random dogs, sometimes "strays" and ended up selling people's lost pets.. because profit.
Another I know of is legitimately connected to breeders and gets "high value" puppies on a regular basis for a cheap price.. and sells them for a higher price.
Then there's the extra awful ones that have legitimately stolen dogs straight out of yards and "re-homed" them as a "rescue person" in another area.
These kinds of things happen FAR more often than people know.. even among licensed rescues. So absolutely.. be suspicious. I've only seen that kind of price from legit licensed pure bred rescues that actually DO all the vet work and screen homes very carefully. I personally would not believe them and would find a legit rescue to work with.
