Hello everyone!
Yep, I just joined today also. The link to this discussion was posted on Diane's forum for Pets Needing People. I was torn if I should just ignore this thead or reply, so obviously, I decided I had to add my two cents.
Sadly, this thread turned very hostile and accusatory and CASE CLOSED seems to equal CLOSE MINDED. I adopted from Diane 9 months ago and like you I was skeptical as I found the same sites and information that you had on the web. But you know what I did? I joined HER FORUM and got information from past adopters and Diane herself. Her forum is very active and you can see for your self it has had over 146 posted in a week and almost 200 members, not bad for a rescue.
Just like your forum, it is FREE to join, so as people from Diane's forum are following this thread, I ask you NOT to join yorkietalk, especially Diane, how dare they accuse someone, call them a scam, and then ask them join and explain yourself! I think your thought process is a bit backwards.
If the yorkietalk people are truly interested in learning about the rescue, let them join Diane's forum, which should have happened before the Salem Witch hunt started. As anyone who has interacted with Diane, knows she is a straightshooter and you get blunt, honest answers.
The saddest part of all this is that the people who jumped to erroneous conclusions, are now wasting my time, Petfinder's time, and other's time, when every one of us just wants to find good homes for well-deserving dogs.
My last point, if you had joined her forum you would get updates about the dozens of dogs she has rescued from kill shelters around her area and beyond. Just reading how many animals she saves in one week, much less one month just is amazing and makes me want to do more, hence the reason why I decided to reply.
Here's hoping to a more compassionate future for humans and animals! |
