Will it ever end? All of these rescue scams are getting to be happening too often these days. Every time we turn around, more dogs are dead because of so called "rescues" or "rescuers" and all awhile on these Facebook threads people just moan and bitch and not a single person really does anything about it. Why are people not putting into action things to really protect these lost souls?
We have ZERO respect for those people who just bitch and expect others to do the leg work to get things done. You may call yourself a rescuer but you are not. Call it what it is. You are a wannabe rescuer who is trying to convince others of your good deeds while not really doing a whole lot. Good thing some people put their feelings, pain, anger into action because if they didn't not a single damn dog or cat would ever be saved.
We really hate being ball busters but damn it someone has to speak the truth and we all know we am not going to sugarcoat anything to save your sensitive feelings from being hurt. If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, then don't be offended by what we say because it obviously does not apply to you.
Now with all of that said, we have been getting email after email about one particular rescue taking funds and not taking the dog that ended up being killed, another rescue that is rescuing then immediately dumping the same dog elsewhere, people using funds collected for the animal for their own profit, abusers, a fight that broke out in a shelter where one lady was trying to dump a dog she stated was a stray yet was heard hugging the same dog as she left and calling him by name. Apparently that really pissed off one rescuer that was there to rescue another dog and she let her have it. Unfortunately we am not sharing details on a single one just yet publicly because none of these people sent us required proof (correspondence, audio, video, witness statements) to be able to responsibly do so. We are here to make the rescue world aware of things like the above mentioned but we also do not want to slander anyone either so we must do things this way to cover our own bottoms. If you have been a part of rescue for more than a minute you know people in rescue yell "LAWSUIT LAWSUIT" over every little thing. And in all honesty not once have any of us seen one of those people ever follow through but why risk it? With that, we ask that any and all people contacting us to please have some sort of evidence or proof of your allegations. If you do we will share here and get the word out. We will even protect your identity and post anonymously so you do not have to take the heat for doing the right thing and speaking up. That is our promise to all of our fellow rescue warriors.
We also welcome comments and suggestions. We are not the Facebook police and we will share all posts here as long as they are fact based or opinions based on facts posted!
