Man Jailed for Fake Animal Rescue, 41 Pets Dead
Oaveed Rahman, a 27-year-old man, has been sentenced to five years in jail for running a fake animal rescue in Essex, leading to the deaths of at least 41 pets. He operated Save A Paw, charging people to rehome their dogs, but instead subjected them to severe neglect and cruelty. The raid on May 13, 2025, found multiple dead animals and others in urgent need of care. Rahman admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to 21 dogs and a cat, plus 11 counts of fraud. He has been banned for life from keeping dogs or cats. Local MP Richard Holden argues the sentence is too light, as owners like Emma Thompson from Harrogate paid £650 to rehome her dog Lennon, only to learn it starved to death after two months there. Campaigners say welfare concerns were reported for up to two years before the raid, and groups like Save A Paw campaign are pushing for stricter rules on rescues, suspecting over 100 dogs may have died. Basildon Council is investigating its own role and calling for new laws to license rehoming centers.
