Police say a Nova Scotia woman responded to the ad and the dogs were sent to Halifax to be temporarily cared for.
However, the New Brunswick owner says she eventually lost contact with the person who accepted the dogs.
After a three-week investigation, police in Bridgewater, N.S., recovered the dogs and they were returned to the owner.
Gail Benoit has been charged with fraud, theft under $5,000 and identity fraud.
