WARNINGS

Warning Dog Reseller Linda Gall, Broward, Miami, WPB

wc4x3-3529096429@comm.craigslist.org[?]

Linda Gall resells dogs and cats. She will pretend she wants to adopt any pet you find. She has a record. You can see her picture on My Space under Linda Gall. All information below is verified by a registered Florida Rescue Not for Profit.

Scammer on Craigslist: If you place an animal on Craigslist please beware as there are some people in the South Florida area that are getting the animals and reselling them.

This is what they send to you: "Hi I work from home and I own my house and have a yard to play in I can give a forever and loving home and you can come to my house and visit and see where he will be living 9547097920" "I used to work at a vet hospital years ago now I work from home fixing computers I and I am home all the time. I can give a loving and forever home and you can even visit from time to time call me 954 5342656".

Everything she has said is a lie. She says she has a husband, she doesn't. She says she has one son, she has two. She says she owns her own house, she doesn't. She says she has a fenced in yard, she doesn't. She'll tell you she's had vet tech experience. She is full of lies just to get your animal. These are the names, addresses and phones she is using, but remember there may be more:

Linda Gall Strikes Again
Link Original Story
Rescuers, Adopters, Animal Owners BEWARE

"Hi All,
We were contacted on our web page about a stolen dog in the Davie Area. It was a Teacup Yorkie that disappeared out of her front yard in Davie while doing her potty. The owner went inside for a moment and then "Roxy" was gone from the patio. She posted signs all over and finally received a call from a lady that said "I know who has your dog". A "rescuer" found it by the name of LINDA GALL (954) 534-0238 and the dog is for sale on Craigslist. The owner contacted this person and Linda said she had "rescued" the dog. The owner confronted her and was livid! She told her that she was a thief and she stole the dog from her home. After threatening her with the police, Linda gave back the dog.

We were told this person has various dogs on her posting/web page all of which are pure breed, high priced dogs. Please send this around to anyone that may have had their pet stolen in the Davie Area near Western High School."  Since my last post, she's now selling cages, and trying to sell the Eclectus and the Mitred Conure she "Found?" with a broken wing. I told her to take it to the WCC and she kept it. Now she's trying to pawn it.
I don't know what can be done about this person other than put the word out there.
Linda is still at it! I didnt know about her but in Dec. I "adopted" a dog from her. Yesterday he got out of the house while the fence was open and was picked up one block down the road by the police and was returned to Linda because that is who his rabies tag was registered to. I called her last night and at first she said I can come pick him up, but then wouldnt answer my calls at all and still wont. She has no plans of giving him back and will probably resell him :( My children are heartbroken.

EVERYONE READING THIS! ANYONE LOOKING TO FIND A HOME FOR YOUR DOG, PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS WOMAN TO "ADOPT" YOU LOVED PET! Linda Gall will say she wants to adopt your dog and watches her friends dog but THAT IS NOT THE CASE! She "flips" dogs for money. I gave my pup to her for no charge in hopes he'd get a great home. She kept him for three days and gave to a rescue luckily but she will post your pet on Petfinder.com and sell them for $350. She is a liar. I luckily was able to get in contact with the rescue and get my dog back after researching and finally finding my dog. Please be very careful who you give your pets to. Do you research because people are sick.


Her number starts with 954 so please put any 954 numbers in the Facebook search.

Be safe everyone.
