I agree with gmw, in fact I would go further and pare it down more. This must have a high reading index, and I feel words like 'nefarious' could easily be replaced with 'evil'. You'd be surprised how many average readers don't know what nefarious means.
There's also a sense, to me, that you're giving too much away. Personally, I dislike blurb which tells me too much about the plot. As a feminist, an animal lover, and someone with a silly sense of humour, I'm possibly you're target audience. One thing puts me off reading it: it's about dogs not cats.
The majority of female animal rescuers rescue cats, hence the saying Crazy Cat Lady. I've known many of them, and they do become a close knit society giving each other support. The only dog rescue I've known was run by a man.
As you're at the point of writing the blurb, it's probably a moot point, but it may make your book even more popular if you alter the rescue species.
