Registry Notice
This entry is based on information submitted to the DNA Registry by an individual who states that she was involved with the organization that originally adopted the dog to the individual identified below.
At the time this entry was prepared, the DNA Registry had not independently obtained adoption records, contracts, surrender records, social-media listings, transfer records, shelter records, animal-control documentation, or other official records confirming the complete sequence of events described in the submission.
The information below should therefore be understood as a submitted animal-placement report and not as a finding of animal cruelty, abandonment, fraud, or criminal wrongdoing.
Case Summary
A report submitted to the DNA Registry identifies Jasmine Berry of Greenacres, Florida, in connection with concerns involving a dog that had reportedly been adopted to her through a rescue organization.
According to the submitter, Berry later contacted the rescue indicating that she wanted to return the dog.
The submitter states that Berry initially did not complete the return after being advised that the original adoption donation was non-refundable.
According to the report, the rescue subsequently offered to take the dog back and refund the adoption money, but Berry allegedly did not return the dog and later blocked communication with the rescue.
Reported Attempt to Return Dog
The submitter states that Berry expressed a desire to return the adopted dog.
According to the report, the rescue initially explained that the adoption donation was non-refundable. The submitter states that the organization later offered to accept the dog back and refund the money in order to ensure the animal was safely returned.
The submitter alleges that Berry did not bring the dog back despite that offer and subsequently blocked communication with members of the rescue.
The DNA Registry has not independently reviewed the adoption agreement, refund policy, messages between the parties, or other documentation establishing the exact terms of the attempted return.
Reported Social Media Rehoming
According to the submission, the dog was later advertised for sale or transfer through social media.
The submitter alleges that the dog was first listed on Facebook and was subsequently transferred or sold to another individual through Instagram.
The DNA Registry has not independently obtained the complete Facebook or Instagram listings, communications with the subsequent owner, payment records, or other documentation establishing the circumstances of the transfer.
Reported Second Placement
The submitter states that after the dog was transferred to another individual, that person later relinquished or left the puppy with another rescue organization.
According to the report, the original rescue eventually learned where the dog was located and was able to recover the animal.
The name of the second rescue and documentation relating to the dog's intake and return were not provided in the information available to the DNA Registry at the time this entry was prepared.
Reported Recovery of the Dog
The submission indicates that the dog was ultimately recovered by the original rescue organization.
This reported recovery is significant because the primary concern described by the submitter is not that the dog remained permanently missing, but that the animal allegedly passed through multiple placements instead of being returned directly to the organization that originally adopted her out.
The dog's condition at the time of recovery, veterinary status, and current placement were not included in the submission.
Animal Placement Concern
Many rescue organizations include provisions in their adoption agreements requiring an adopter to return an animal to the original rescue if the adopter can no longer keep the animal.
The DNA Registry has not independently reviewed the adoption contract involved in this case and therefore does not state that Berry violated a particular contractual provision.
However, shelters and rescues considering future placement may wish to independently verify previous adoption history, prior rescue communications, surrender history, and compliance with any applicable return provisions.

Important Due Diligence Notice
This entry documents a report received by the DNA Registry and should not be interpreted as an official determination that Jasmine Berry committed animal cruelty, abandonment, fraud, or another criminal offense.
Rehoming or transferring an animal does not by itself establish animal abuse. However, shelters and rescues may consider prior adoption history, compliance with adoption agreements, communication with previous placement organizations, and the circumstances of prior transfers when evaluating future applications.

The DNA Registry welcomes reliable documentation concerning this case, including the original adoption agreement, communications regarding the requested return, screenshots or archived copies of the reported Facebook or Instagram listings, records from the subsequent rescue, veterinary documentation, and records confirming the dog's eventual return to the original rescue.
Correction, Response, or Update Request
If the individual identified in this entry believes that information is inaccurate, incomplete, or requires additional context, she may submit a correction or response with supporting documentation for review.
The DNA Registry will update this entry if reliable additional information becomes available.
