TMZ<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Aaron Carter<\/strong><\/a> adopting dogs and allegedly selling them for a profit is NOT against the law \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean it would be right \u2026 according to the county of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n L.A. County Animal Care and Control tells TMZ \u2026 IF Aaron is actually adopting dogs from around the area only to later flip them for cash, he wouldn\u2019t be committing any crimes by doing so. That said, it sounds like the LACACC frowns on the practice.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n You\u2019re supporting someone who literally adopts dogs from shelters claiming to be a loving caregiver, but instead sells them to others for a huge profit because they were \u2018owned by Aaron Carter\u2019. You find nothing wrong with that? He goes through dog, after dog, after dog. #Truth<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/dnq7piqiIu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Aaron Carter\u2019s Truth (@ACartersTruth) August 4, 2019<\/a> Lancaster Animal Care Shelter \u2014 which is run by L.A. County \u2014 says, \u201cOur goal is to find each animal a forever home and when someone adopts, they become the legal adopter. His actions aren\u2019t illegal and there have been no reports of him harming the animal.\u201d They add, \u201cUnless, there is criminal activity going on, we are unable to ask for the adopter to return the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n We\u2019re told selling off rescue dogs is a moral issue in L.A. County, not a legal one, though.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n You\u2019ll recall \u2026 the animal shelter where Aaron adopted his English bulldog appeared to be concerned<\/strong><\/a> over allegations that Aaron was trying to sell it just a couple days after taking it home. They updated their Instagram with a flash warning of sorts, saying they were \u201cworking on this situation.\u201d Presumably, people were blowing them up about this.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Most private animal shelters require you, by contract, to return the animal if you no longer want it \u2026 instead of selling it or even giving it away to someone else.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n For the record, Aaron has flat-out denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n I think it\u2019s apalling that I actually even have to explain myself I\u2019ve rescued many dogs & found many dogs homes. what I said in my Instagram live video was a joke. Find one dog that I adopted and sold for money, be my guest. WONT HAPPEN. I\u2019m a good person and i deserve respect.<\/p>\n \u2014 Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) August 4, 2019<\/a> In fact, he doubled down with us \u2026 reiterating that the IG Live video in which he\u2019s heard discussing selling the bulldog for $3,500 is simply a joke. Aaron did not clarify what exactly he was joking about though \u2026 he sounded sincere in his vid.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Joke or not \u2026 apparently it\u2019s no biggie out here in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n
