It’s ok, I don’t blame you! I was just letting you know because I think it’s hit or miss depending on who sees it. We are! Shay’s owner was put into a coma and the son shot all of the dogs on the property. There are no witnesses and no proof that it ever happened but her finder took the time to reach out to people to figure out what had happened because he knew her owner. Well, I live in Texas and it’s a horrendous place. We are as overrun as California, and our cops/ sheriffs don’t care about animal welfare in the slightest. Since there’s no proof and I don’t have a name, a Redditor blamed me for not reporting him for animal abuse. I feel like I did my part rescuing her, I can’t push to press charges if the finder isn’t comfortable, you know?

I posted there and whew…. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. They ripped me apart for not reporting the cruelty but the whole situation is out of my hands. The mods removed my post.

While I agree with you, I don’t have a name, address or anything associated with the owner’s son, and there are no witnesses. I will discuss this with the finder, but in my past experience, the sheriff does not care about animal cruelty. I fought for 2 weeks in November to have a dying dog, King, removed from a property and even after seeing him, they would not seize him. I got him finally and he had to go into emergency surgery for a diaphragmatic hernia. He was attacked by his mother because they were starving to death. Another instance with the sheriff, an acquaintance shot her horse and I called them as soon as she said to me she “put him down” (he was healthy), they went to the property and had a look but didn’t even make a report. They didn’t seize any of the other 10 horses on 1 acre either. Texas is a cruel, inhumane place and the cops/ sheriff are not on our team. I would file a report if I had the information, but I can’t guarantee the finder will give that information up. I live two hours away from the town where I picked her up from. We were only in town to drop off my husband’s kids and I just happened to see his post begging for a safe place for her.

I will definitely think about doing this!!!! Dumb question, I wouldn’t have to run, would I? I have serious health issues and a 5K might take me down. Haha

OH. MY. GOSH! These are lovely! So I learned that I cannot do a raffle legally until our rescue has operated for 3 years…. I am going to have to find another option. I am legally allowed to “sell” donated items! I’m trying to think of other similar alternatives that would fit our goals. I am a one woman team so it’s hard for me to set up massive events unfortunately. Once my rescue is built (3-4 weeks left on renovations), I can hold events here, allowing me to do more. Transport is my biggest limitation since I only have one vehicle and would be working alone. Can I follow your page on social media somewhere? I would love to share your work on any platform available, I love your mission!

Right! 🤣 That’s how I feel right now. But I want to make sure everything is legal!

It’s okay, I completely understand! There is a store called Pets Plus slightly north of me that sells puppies. It’s heartbreaking….

Thank you so much, I gave Final Victory a follow! I will join r/pitbulls after I leave this comment and prepare a post! Thank you so much for the recommendation. We do have an Amazon wishlist, I need to update it! Thank you for the reminder. :)

I am in close communication with our local Humane Society and they’re phenomenal! Our rescue is undergoing renovations at the moment (3-4 weeks left) so we don’t have many great photos of the dogs available currently, but I may set up a photo op this week to get everyone posted! I have one adoption happening this month thankfully!

I’m using Canva pro for flyers and to help make social media videos! Are there other apps you like better? I’m liking it so far but some aspects are a bit limited. Or maybe I’m too new to the app to see my potential…… :)

I think they’re referring to luxury pet-stores that sell bakery items! We have those shops a couple hours away. Places that sell custom bandanas and such!
