So, the whole reason I started looking into her was because I had posted an ad on CL trying to find my dogs litter mates to exchange photos and maybe get together for a play date with some. I got an email from her saying she had had 4 of them come through her rescue and they all had health problems, aggression, thyroid problem (strange for only being 5 months?) and needed joint and ACL surgeries.
Now, I thought this was weird for a few reasons... a. it didn't help me locate any of the dogs, b. I'd already tracked down a bunch of them and they were all very healthy and far from aggressive... and the biggest problem... I have 9 of the litter mates where abouts accounted for out of a litter of 11... so there's NO WAY she had 4!
I looked through every single adopted dog from her "rescue" on petfinder, not a single one of them was one of my dog's siblings.
I don't know what her motive was for emailing me a bunch of lies...
That's when I moved on to the reviews.

I asked about them on a local rescue group on FB and had a guy (runs a boxer rescue) email me with his expereince with them:
"I had a dealing with Rising Phoenix. I was looking at a bull mastiff for adoption. When I went to meet her, she was severely emaciated, had an aborted litter 3 days prior, had cuts all over her face. It was horrible." and " Yeah. Literally the bull mastiff I was looking at was 40 lbs under weight, was droopy due to being spayed 3 days prior, had a litter aborted, and was severely chewed on and bloody."
Anyway... just wanted to put this out there... anyone needing to surrender a dog or looking to adopt should probably stear clear of her! I get a "dog flipper for profit" vibe from this "rescue". Hence, adopting out un fixed, malnurished dogs to people for $400-500! (check reviews!)
