Default rescue scam

This is one of the reasons I never donate to anything but my local shelter!!! You never know if what you are donating to is legit.

You wouldn't even believe how many rescue/foster scams there are floating around in NYC. It's crazy!

That's why you go out and buy things your shelter needs like food, paper towels, bleach, used towels and rags and drop them off at your local shelter. At least you know where your money went and the shelter appreciates it. If an organization does not accept anything but money, chances are it is not a legit organization.

Exclamation Spreading Incorrect and False Information

The whole website was a lie. This 19 year old girl was attacked online by that couple who wrote the website. She wrote a response website asking for proof on the things the wrote. Once she did that, they removed half the stuff of their site. The original site writers have been harassing this girl for revenge. She admits the stuff she did, but she asks for proof of half the crap they wrote about. It's all over the place how this "19 year old girl was attacked through website". She even tells a story they didn't write about to prove how unreliable their sources were. If she really is only 19, she shows more maturity and composure then the two who wrote the original site.

Out of curiosity to your post I went over and read both sites. It does sound like a lot of tit for tat stuff going on but the underlining impression still begs one to ask; Why wasn't the foster helped with medical records? Why wasn't the dog seen by the vet the rescue uses? What's with the fake people corresponding? Dubious info given? A lot of it still sounds shady, if you ask me. The girl is obviously young, but at this point, if she got in over her head because of it, she should just explain what went wrong and make amends. That would be the most mature thing to do. That's my 2 cents.

A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews up something inappropriate or has a housebreaking accident. Bring the dog over to the destroyed object (or mess), then take the rolled-up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase,"I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG!"

I agree. Both sides seem very wishy washy, but when it comes to Pippin, the proper care wasn't given. I agree though, it should of been handled differently then it was, being written online with improper facts was bad to do. They were right to warn people of rescues like this, cause they do exist, and can even be worse.
