@LoneStarChica @SaveGodsChildre Did he ever respond to you or anyone else? Or did he just delete his acct?

@SaveGodsChildre He deleted his account after we asked his a question about one of the stolen pics

This is a tough post to write, but a necessary one. I was recently asked by a reputable person within the rescue community to research a dog an individual had posted about, named “Duke.” Along with that, I was sent information alleging that the same person within the rescue community has been scamming people, using photos of dogs that were never actually in their possession and claiming they “saved” them. To be honest, this wasn’t entirely new to me. About six months ago (or more), I saw a post from this same individual, who lives in North Carolina, claiming he had rescued a dog off the streets. The problem? The photo was from BARC here in Houston, and the dog was still in Houston. I questioned him at the time but never received a response. I assumed he may not have seen it, and life got busy with everything else going on. He seemed like a nice person, but the truth is, it’s incredibly hard to know who someone really is behind a screen. Part of me wants to look at this with compassion. Maybe he’s struggling. Maybe he’s presenting the person he wishes he could be. I don’t know. But what I do know is this, when people donate to someone who is not legitimate, that money is taken away from real rescues doing real work, and from real dogs who desperately need help. That’s the part that hurts the most. Somewhere out there is a dog who missed out because of this. Below is an example. He posted about a dog named “Duke,” claiming the dog had been adopted, had a ten-year-old sister, and was found in a Walmart parking lot. A reverse image search tells a different story. That dog is actually named Cyril. He is being fostered by Kim Martin, who I have communicated with via text. She confirmed that the story shared online was not factual. Cyril is still available for adoption through Saving Grace. (text exchange and adoption link in comments) This is why I’ve said before, and will continue to say, please do your due diligence when donating to online rescues. Here’s what to look for: • Must be listed as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit • Status should be ACTIVE (not revoked) • Should have recent IRS filings (no recent filings = 🚩) Always check the basics: ✅ Current IRS filings (from the official IRS website only) ✅ Verifiable address ✅ Real, traceable Board of Directors Please guard your wallet and your heart. And most importantly, let’s make sure we are supporting the people truly doing the work to save these animals.

@LoneStarChica I’m afraid he will make a new account and be back at it. Probably already has 😣

Update. It gets worse. Many of you may remember the house fire post that went viral on X, where he had two fundraisers that reportedly raised approximately $18,000. I have now located the real home. It belonged to an elderly woman in Payne Springs, Texas, and that fire tragically resulted in the loss of four dogs. If you read the comments on the community post about her, the reality is heartbreaking. After the fire she had to live in a shed in her backyard and needed blankets to stay warm on a cold night. I am sick over this. Please, now more than ever, verify before you donate or share. Real people and real animals are affected when misinformation like this spreads.

@DustyJohnson We aren’t voting for you

🇺🇸 DUSTY JOHNSON: Growing up, every penny mattered in my family. That’s why Rhoden’s THREE tax increases don’t sit right with me. As Governor, I’ll NEVER forget where I came from.

@LoneStarChica I could have helped a lot of real animals with what I sent him 😭😢

@BeccaB1221 He was very good at sharing my dog posts and I did appreciate that.

@libsoftiktok @Aetna Happened to me with a 100k surgery. BCBS

Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because. .@Aetna can just decide they’re not interested in covering something and then you’re left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact. This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don’t want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium. Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare. Honestly fuck you @Aetna. I’m gonna do everything I can to destroy you.

@LolaPatolla This made my whole week 🩷🩷

Nugget update! The antibody treatment is working & Nugget is doing much better! He will need to stay quarantined for 2 weeks but he is recovering. A huge thank you to everyone who helped with donations & positive thoughts for this baby 🥹❤️‍🩹♥️

You want our vote but can’t even enable comments? lol

Please help if you can 🩷🩷🩷

@LolaPatolla Thank you 🥹

This is Franny. Shelter pics vs freedom pics. 8 yo, found stray. Scheduled to be killed following 3 day stray hold on day 4. She knows sit & shake. Friendly, happy girl. It was a challenge to find transport under the wire. But she’s safe ❤️ rescuecoop.org/donate

@0hour1 They should get the same sentence the man who was falsely accused would get at least.

@_DOGPOOL_ This is how my farm animals behave lol

We are halfway there. $5,000 raised… and I honestly can’t even put into words what that means right now. Because this rescue doesn’t run on big sponsors or grants. It runs on people… choosing to care. It’s the puppies who just spent their day running through mud, living the kind of carefree, safe life they were never guaranteed. It’s dogs like Rocco—who survived things no dog ever should, and now gets to sleep safely beside his best friend every single night. It’s Ella Rose—dumped, full of milk, her puppies nowhere to be found… who now gets to heal, rest, and finally be cared for. That’s what you’re helping us do. But we are only halfway. And the reality is—these bills don’t stop just because we’re tired. The lights still have to stay on. The water still has to run. The animals still need a safe place to live. If you’ve donated—thank you. You are part of why this is even possible. If you haven’t yet, and you’ve been thinking about it… this is the moment. And if donating isn’t something you can do right now, sharing this truly matters more than you know. We are halfway there. Please help us get the rest of the way—for them. Donate.

@LaylasheartOR 🩷thank you for helping the babies

This is Kringle. He’s the reason Layla’s Heart Ranch and Rescue exists. Before this rescue, he was just another dog no one knew what to do with. Overlooked. Misunderstood. Out of time. But he deserved more than that. Because of him… this place was built. A place for dogs just like him— the ones no one else will take. And now there are 29 sanctuary dogs here because of that one decision to say yes. But right now… we need help. We need to raise $10,000 immediately just to get through April— or we don’t know how we keep going. This rescue has been built over the last 5 years for dogs with nowhere else to go… dogs with euthanasia dates, dogs labeled “too much,” dogs out of time. If we can’t cover these bills… everything we’ve built for them is at risk. I hate asking like this. I really do. But I don’t know what else to do. If you can donate, please do. If you can’t, please share—because that matters more than you know. GoFundMe link: gofund.me/b7ffb0f5c We are not giving up on them.

@SenWarren ITS A TV SHOW YOU MORON 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If you watch The Pitt, you know how hard our health care providers work. So why did Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress pass a bill to make their lives even harder?

@VigilantFox I was misdiagnosed with anxiety and was on them for over 20 years and it took 2 months to get off but I’ve never felt better!

Theo Von reveals he was put on antidepressants after “a tough day at school” and has NEVER been able to get off them since. THEO: “That shit makes you feel dead, man.” ROGAN: “So why did you take them in the first place?” THEO: “Cause I was in a bad relationship 20 years ago, and I was having a tough day at school, and they f*cking gave them to me, and then I never got off.” Theo’s experience is not uncommon. A 2019 meta-analysis revealed that 56% of people experience withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit antidepressants. Of those who experienced withdrawal symptoms, nearly half (46%) described them as “severe.” Before you get placed on the antidepressant hamster wheel like Theo Von did, consider trying exercise instead. Large-scale meta-analyses show that physical exercise is about 1.5 times more effective than antidepressants for depression.

@IfindRetards 😑

Only retards can reply to this post. 🫂

@kirawontmiss Ours love being sheared

“this is animal abuse” they literally need to do this so they can survive…

@PNWConservative I’m from Washington state. When I was 10 I was molested by a neighbor who was a firefighter. He pled guilty so he got off with no time and only had to register as a sex offender but never did and went on with his life. That state is garbage.

Washington, You’d be happy to know he’s out on bail. You’d also be happy to know that Washington Democrats continue to try to reduce penalties for child s*x predators. For two years now they have tried to reduce penalties for these sick fcks.

@kirawontmiss Further proof the media is garbage.

my heart almost dropped you’re going to heII for this
