Would have suggested the AKC clubs in your friend's area, as a starting point.
It's the Year of the Dog, let's hope it's not a shitty year.

I've had great success with AKC breeders. I've always seen the parents, so this was a blind sight on both mine and, my friend's part. What would you do if someone gave you the address that you thought was their home and, it turned out to be a Shoney's with a little puppy wrapped in a dish towel? Save the judgement. My friend got duped. All the same, I am glad that I didn't drive away. So, is this little pup that I've picked up all of the vet bills for. The so called breeder set it up good, complete with a website that has since been taken down. They should have some consequences. Mine are that I paid vet bills for a pup that I don't own, gave it around the clock care and, believe me...am kicking myself for not acting on the red flags. At the same time, as I type this, the little pup is snuggling on my lap. She would have died if I hadn't of picked her up that day. All I want is these people to have some consequence to discourage them from continuing this behavior.
