I doubt if she'll be paying any money out like most rescues do, this is more about getting donations, and free tiny dogs and selling those dogs as rescues. How much money she makes depends on her marketing skills.

Do you really think she can get away with starting a "rescue?" Oh, I hope not.

Good grief. And even after all that she is still breeding and selling pups. Disgusting.

yorkietalkjilly · 11-18-2012, 02:08 PM

She just rolls with the punches it seems like. Whenever she's knocked down in anything, she pops up somewhere else! As long as she's got a website, a sad story or two and some video of a cute but very pitiful dog, she will get money from those that don't know any better.

capt_noonie · 11-18-2012, 03:06 PM

Can you imagine if she used all that energy and time for something good? sking too much from her I guess.

jeane · 11-19-2012, 07:57 AM

That's disgusting

gracielove · 11-19-2012, 10:01 AM

Doesn't creating a charitable organization have to go through the IRS? I helped create an organization years ago but we had a lawyer that volunteered to do the paper work that got us incorporated. It was long enough ago that I don't remember all the details. I just don't think she could get through the hoops by herself. I'm sure she can think of many underhanded ways to proceed though.

Hopefully, people are careful to which charities and rescues they give their money to. Otherwise, these crooks will come up with scam after scam. Once you scam people on the internet, the FBI can get involved, she better account for every cent she takes in, or she could be in big trouble.

Nancy I so agree with you, unfortunately some folks are sooooooooooooo gullible

Teegy · 11-19-2012, 10:07 AM

when most registered responsible legal rescues won't allow persons to adopt dogs when they have young kids, how can she run one when she has kids that abuse the dogs she owns causing broken necks?

BiewerYorkie · 11-19-2012, 10:18 AM

I only donate to ONE rescue, a lady in Nebraska that rescues mainly Puppy Mill Dogs. I have been on her yahoo group for a couple of years. I can't often send money since George and I are sort of living from hand to mouth but I DO manage to do so occasionally and also send her dog "stuff"...toys, chews, clothes, leashes and collars a couple of times a year.

I also don't often give to the street panhandlers here in Houston and there are PLENTY. Some of them have cars nicer than mine and the "homeless" ones tend to have the whitest white clothes I have EVER seen.

But, I seem to have a "knack" for sensing WHO is honestly in need. I carry around bottles of water during the summer and when I can afford it, I carry gift cards to local fast food places.

There was a very young guy two weeks ago standing by a McDonalds. I asked him if he wanted a burger, fries and drink. His face lit up and then he asked me for Sprite since he didn't drink "dark drinks". When I brought it back to him he put his little sign under his arm, grinned broadly and took off across the street and started to eat.

You know what my friends? Sometimes it IS better to give than receive. Doing this type of thing can give you a great feeling of satisfaction. If everyone on this list did that type of thing even a couple times a year, do you know how many people we could make happy??? True, sometimes you don't know if the person is REALLY needy but GOD knows OUR motives and that is the most important thing of all.

Off my soapbox...

I fed some homeless people one year I got a nice Christmas bonus. I went to a local donut shop, bought a bunch of hot chocolates and sandwiches and my friends helped me pass them out. Can't afford to do these things often but I do when I can.
And I sure as heck won't be sending scam Meister Breton a red sous

I try to do stuff like that myself but get ticked off from time to time.. Like last week while looking for a rescue puppy I saw a post on Craigslist saying her brother was on disability and wanted a puppy they were looking for one free and that his family would pay for food and vet bills.... Soo I sent a message asking if they had a locate shelter, I was thinking I would call the shelter pay the adoption fee in his name, well the reply was yes but it was $120 umm never heard of one that high but whatever so then I said how can I know it would not be for fighting or abused and I was told they would keep in touch and send pictures blah blah blah so I said you know what I will find a puppy and drive it the hour and half drive to you..... The next message I get was oh ok can you take pictures of all my options and send them to me where I can pick out what you buy me!! Ummm ok maybe I am wrong but that ticked me off... You could have said could it be a small breed or large or could it not a certain breed BUT let me pick what you buy me then drive to me!!!

gracielove · 11-19-2012, 02:12 PM

I guess I don't think about giving as something that is not just a natural part of life. When one has a home and enough to buy food and pay the bills, gratitude for such abundance should be shown by helping others that may not be in such a blessed position.
There are many reputable charitable organizations to give to especially at this time of year. There are a multitude of real shelters for people and animals plus rescue organizations that a person can give a helping hand to. The types like the one this thread was started about should not even be considered a charity. With so many good people that reach out to help others through out the year it should not be hard to find a way to help others that really need it.
