Firsthand experiences:
"We drove 9 hours to pick up the puppy that she knew was sick. He was so lethargic he wouldn't even drink. Less than 24 hours later we were having him put down at an emergency vet. Testing was positive for Parvo. She denied it and blamed travel. We contacted BCSPCA and they have done absolutely nothing. We know she has two new litters coming available soon. BCSPCA didn't even return my last call."
"We rented our place to her. She owed us $4000 in back rent and left us with an additional $4000 in damages."
"She sold me a puppy that turned out to be deaf. She told me it had been vet checked, but my vet said she did the vaccine herself way too early."
"I got 2 pups from Lorilee who one later developed severe health issues including neurological problems. The 2nd was very sick when I picked him up. Very small, smelled of urine, and was only told after paying that the litter nearly died. Both were nutrient deficient."
"We called the SPCA on her as she left 7 or 8 of her dogs locked in the house for 3 days! And had horses up at the barn with no food or water. After she moved out we found three of her dogs, deceased, wrapped up in various materials rotting in a bush."
"I never went near the dogs as the big ones barked and growled at us if she wasn't around we could not even walk around our own property while she was here. It was very uncomfortable. She makes a lot if false claims so I'm not sure what she all told you. She's not an honest person."
"Her name is Lori and we let her stay here after what we understood was an argument with people at the last place she stayed in the Enderby area. She was down on her luck and said she had five dogs so we let her stay for the winter and she seemed grateful. In the pictures you’ll see the damage she has caused an only four months we later came to figure out she at one point had 23 dogs and puppies in my little greenhouse. She kept the males that she put kitty pools in as dog litter boxes the carpets were removed from the house and she covered the floors with hay. In her RV is where she kept the females and puppies at least six adult and in four months at least three litters of puppies. The damage to my house is not repairable and smells so bad it will have to be demolished. Please if you have been scammed by this lady, report her, the RCMP said she has done this before."
