Hello followers, haters, stalkers, cronies, and everyone else.
This is Kaleb, the director, I wanted to come out and post this to dispell any misinformation and to provide my own side of what is happening.
Back in March, 2022 I had 2 visits from Animal Control Officers within a couple weeks of each other because of keyboard warriors filing unfounded animal control reports again me. The first officer came and said that everything looked decent and understood why certain things were done the way I did them. The first officer provided a few changes that would need to be made to be in compliance. The second officer did not like the way I did things and because it had only been 2 weeks since the last visit I didn’t have a chance to make the small changes I was asked to make. I get paid once a month and I can’t just go out and drop money without budgeting for it (if I can help it). The changes they wanted have cost me about $100 to implement.
The second officer issued a citation for three counts of “animal - no food” even though I did have food for everyone and plenty of it, but to avoid any further issues I signed the citation and went to court as this morning (missed last hearing due to medical issues) where they set me up for the next step of the process after I declined the prosecutors “plea deal” which was absolutely unreasonable considering I am not guilty of this.
Animal Control also showed up and attempted to intimidate me and said I needed to sign for more charges and if I didn’t they were going to call TPD to get me to sign the paperwork or get arrested. I did not sign the paperwork and TPD didn’t do anything, but watch me leave the building.
I am NOT perfect by any means and I’ve made many mistakes in the past with my own animals and fosters animals. EVERYONE makes mistakes with animals in their care and if you think you are perfect, then you need to take a step back and lower your own ego. EVERYONE has skeletons in their closet that they don’t want anyone to know about because if someone found out they’d be judged like I have been for months.
I am actively searching for permanent placement for all 6 fosters still in my rescues care and will under no circumstance place them in a shelter enviroment. I have multiple rescues searching for open foster placement and they have all offered assistance without belittling, harassing, targeting, or judging me.
The 2 photos of food were taken within the last month and I have more on my carport from a kind samaritan donating 100+ lbs of dog food and 50+ lbs of cat food (hard and soft).
