some guy i know ( his daughter) paid 1200.00 to a “rescue” to build a kennel ect. for her dog, turns out they also were a scam with lots of dead dogs on the property. ( Tennessee)
I wouldn’t give them a penny without checking out the property and people involved.
TN is dreadful when it comes to treatment of pets and animals in general. Neglect is rampant. I believe TBI was tasked to handle this issue about 10 years ago, but it never got better. I can’t even imagine how people can have pets and then do things that obviously will kill them.
And there’s a woman, Cameo Farr, who ran a crematory for pets. She was just dumping them to rot and giving owners ashes, but not of their pets. Our cat was one of them.
It’s a crime, and Hubby dogged TPTB to have her protected, but she never has had to answer for it.

Our rescue sent several dogs to a now-defunct Tennessee rescue and physically vetted the property and met with the property owner who was ex-military and ex-police. By all standards it was a well-run organization that rehabbed dogs into police K9s. Five years later the state shut them down due to inhumane conditions and he’s in jail on drug and assault charges. Fortunately, the dogs we sent over were not on the property and being trained as a true working dogs.
