I'm sure there are lots of disreputable rescues out there and for sure some my use petfinder as a tool, but I do also know that there are many, many reputable rescues that do also use petfinder so I hope people don't write them off entirely... for example Moosie is a petfinder dog from a great rescue in central Washington.
Perhaps Petfinder has a process to lodge complaints or concerns about experiences people have had (maybe even on a no-names basis) rather than going back to the rescue directly - they definitely would have a vested interest in ensuring rescues that use their site are not misrepresenting dogs, etc. Unless someone lets them know other people could end up having he same problems.
And I agree that something definitely smells strange with the response on the puppies...
