Black Market Dog Hauling - Retail Rescue Patsies

For years Retail Rescues have conned average everyday Americans into transporting animals across state lines in violation of USDA shipping rules.  Instead of using licensed USDA transporters, they get 'volunteers' to do it for free, most of the time without valid health certificates.  I personally know people who have purchased RV's for the sole purpose of 'helping to save' animals and be able to ship larger amounts from state to state for resale.  

They have no idea that they are patsies.  

The hot new trend to get around the pending CDC ban on imports from rabies prone countries is to convince a new era of patsies to FLY round trip to foreign countries to bring in single animals.  

This woman, Tina Allen Kolessar, of Ashburn, Virginia is running a GoFundMe to pay for airplane tickets for dog mules to bring dogs into America.  It's no surprise to find that she sits on the board of her exclusive HOA in Loudoun County, Virginia.  The same county that has been all over the news recently when parents have started speaking out about the Marxist take over of their schools. 

From China and India to Iraq, Qatar and Turkey they are flying dogs into such wide flung locations as Los Angeles to Washington, DC.  These foreign dogs are still flooding into America to resell as 'rescues.'  

In China, huge breeding farms are deliberately breeding dogs for the American Rescue Dog Market.  In countries like India and the Middle East, rescues are scooping up street dogs and shipping them to America.   Meanwhile, in places like the Bahamas, they are deliberately breeding puppies to ship to America.  They are not going to cave to the CDC and stop shipping.  Already groups are scrambling to come up with ways to get around import regulations and put a diseased dog in YOUR home.  

You'd think this would be hideously expensive.  You'd be right.  Since Retail Rescue is a billion dollar a year industry they CAN AFFORD IT.   They cry a river on social media and gullible people pay for the plane tickets.   Rescues exist just to provide volunteer planes and pilots for free.  At every step of the way, people are paying for all of this while the Retail Rescue's pocket the cash.  

It's not just individuals who are dog mules - trafficking in black market dogs.  Individuals volunteer their time as pilots to FLY plane loads of dogs around under the USDA/CDC radar.  Here's "Wings of Rescue" bragging they have shipped over 5,000 dogs in just 6 months. Pilots volunteer their time, planes, and fuel and Retail Rescue's pocket every dime collected from the dog sale.  It's so insanely profitable that they even shipped 180 cats in a single weekend. 

Retail Rescue's also charter entire planes to bring full loads of dogs for resale.  Michelle Sileo Smith of Puppy Rescue Mission of Celina, Texas admits here that they paid $250,000 to charter a plane out of Iraq to bring dogs to America.  Did you just follow that?   They shipped a plane load of dogs from the Middle East into TEXAS.  She has also imported dogs from Jordan, Syria, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kosovo, Kenya and other countries.  There isn't a state in this nation that doesn't import dogs from Texas into their state for resale.  Texas is a massive exporter....they always cry a river in Texas about homeless dogs.  Yet a Retail Rescue spent $250,000 to fly dogs INTO Texas.  She's currently begging for volunteers to fly in a shipment of dogs from Saudi Arabia.  Don't worry, they don't stay in Texas.  If you follow her social media, she resells them as far away as North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. She claims she's doing it 'for the soldiers' but military members are banned from owning pets while in the service.  So to whom did that $250,000 plane load go to? 

BarkinQ of Minnesota and Desert Hound Express Foundation of Germantown, Maryland import from Qatar.  Traveling Tails Dog Rescue - imports from Oman, Qatar, Jordan - ships dogs (and cats) to Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania. Flight Buddy Turkey imports into Chicago, Illinois.  Omani Paws imports from Oman and Qatar. Al-Rahmeh for Animals imports from Jordan.  

Magnificent Mutts and Meows of Hillside, Illinois imports from multiple foreign countries.  Here's their recent shipments from Lebanon and a brag about all the recent 'donations' of goods they have received from the public in a single day. 

Meanwhile Angels with Pawprints - Kuwait wants you to 'sponsor' the lives of cats they claim to have in their care.   If you send one thin dime to Kuwait you are a blindingly stupid idiot.  Kuwait is literally one of the richest countries on this planet.  Kuwait is so wealthy that there is literally ZERO poverty there.  

At the other end of the globe, here's China Rescue Dogs bragging about writing to the CDC to get an exemption from the temporary shipping ban and listing the 'partners' they ship foreign bred dogs too in 25 out of 50 states.  

In case you don't want to read all of this:  This single importer has 'partners' in Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, California, Oregon, Texas, Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Indiana.

Here's the assets on hand for some of those Golden Retriever meat dogs and/or "Turkish" retriever Retail Rescues.  There's gold in them hills. 

Only you can stop this. Contact the USDA every time you see a rescue in your community importing dogs from foreign countries OR over state lines. Filing an online complaint is simple and easy. Contact the CDC and tell them you support the ban and report these individual dog mules and Retail Rescues every time you see them in action. Contact all of your local and federal legislators and tell them you OPPOSE importing "rescue" dogs into your state.  Contact the State Veterinarian for your state and tell them that you oppose shipping 'rescue' dogs into your state for resale. 

Several east coast states have passed laws banning rescues from doing drops in parking lots.   If you see them meeting 'adopters' in a parking lot, REPORT THEM.  

The only way to solve the homeless animal problem is for localities to fix their own problems instead of dumping their problems on another state.  The last thing America needs is 5 million imported foreign bred dogs rife with rabies, brucellosis and other contagious diseases and parasites just so these Retail Rescues can profit.

Kentucky House of Horrors - Fuels Long Island Retail Rescue

  There is a huge divide in society today between experienced animal owners and breeders and s/urbanites. They don't understand farming, zoos,   aquariums or pet breeding. They willingly believe any sob story or activist video sent their way.

Some understand the divide when it comes to getting food on their plates.  As a result, farmers are now taking to social media to show the public the truth about farming. 

The big elephant in the living room that no one sees are the massive cult of personalities that develop around hideously abusive retail rescues run by con artists. I've written extensively recently about the huge cult of personality developed around This Is Houston that uses rescue porn to rake in massive amounts of money.  These groups want you to believe that only if YOU give them money, can they save the mangled deathbed roadkill dogs they collect from the Texas/Mexico border.  

Texas is a massive importer of sick and diseased foreign bred dogs, largely from Mexico that are then shipped all over America for resale. There are smugglers that make a living off illegal trafficking, not humans but dogs, because dogs are more lucrative and easier to traffic. Besides parasites and contagious diseases, many of these dogs are temperamentally unsuited for pet homes. 

Some Retail Rescues across America have purchased their own properties in Texas to stage the product they are shipping to their home base for resale.  One of these is Diane Rose Indelicato who runs Ruff House Rescue in New York.  Indelicato has rescue mill warehouses in Texas, Kentucky (and allegedly South Carolina) that all funnel dogs to her retail sales outlets in Long Island, New York. 

Concerned citizens after seeing the hellhole that is her Texas property and seeing Parvo and Distemper affected puppies shipped from Texas to New York for resale (illegal!), complained to local authorities in 2020. Authorities investigated and her Texas 'kennel' failed the inspection.  

Authorities found 270 dogs stuffed into 120 filthy kennels without proper shade or clean food in the blazing Texas heat.  Let's not forget the ground itself is contaminated with Parvo and Distemper from her outbreaks.  She was put on a 3 month probation and ordered to not bring any new dogs onto the property until she cleaned it up and passed inspection. 

Meanwhile.....   

Her Kentucky partner, David Howery, has recently been busted for the second time, after being charged with 25 counts of animal cruelty for keeping animals in horrific conditions without food, water or electricity.  That's right!  NO electricity!  

Authorities ended up seizing 100 animals.  

Detectives later learned Howery had an outstanding bench warrant from a previous cruelty to animals conviction in Adair County, Kentucky. Detectives and animal control went to speak to Howery and arrest him on his outstanding warrant.

He was previously charged with 295 counts of animal cruelty in 2009 after local authorities found 350 animals being kept in filthy conditions.  

The facility was filthy, with feces everywhere; there were about 25 dead dogs in cages or piled behind the building, and six dead goats in the same room with 10 live ones, McCloud said in a complaint.

He has now finally been sentenced to one year in jail.  

As for Diane Indelicato herself, she's wanted on a warrant out of Texas and numerous people have spoken out about the conditions she keeps dogs in at her Texas and New York properties.

As you can expect Indelicato has some impressive Google Trophies.

Why should she care about some piddling Texas warrant when she was charged with criminal possession of stolen property way back in 2010?

Or when she was sued in 2011 when one of her vicious 'rescue' dogs mauled a 3-year-old?  She was sued again when another one of her vicious 'rescue' dogs mauled an 80-year-old woman in 2012.

When anyone speaks up and tries to expose these con artists, they get attacked by deluded gullible people who are part of these cults of personality.  Facts don't matter.  They wail and moan all over social media that dogs will DIE if cons like Indelicato are stopped.  They cry that no matter how inhumane the conditions may be, "it's better than where the dogs came from."  Really?  What proof do you have of that?

Who exactly is this person that makes endless excuses for con artists?  Meet Debbie Brostoff-Laykind, a long time employee of the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District.  She claims to be a Ruff House volunteer for over 5 years.  In Debbie's mind Indelicato can do no wrong and all of us who object to animal cruelty, well WE are the ones that are wrong.  Do you want a woman like this involved in your child's education?  It's no surprise that her environmentalist NYC lawyer "I wanna be a Judge" husband is the Water District Commissioner while they live in a 2,549 sq. ft. million dollar Long Island home.   

It's people like this in positions of influence that are the reason America is in the straights it is today.  

I hate to break this to you Debbie, but adopting IS shopping.  You are nothing more than a retailer of 2nd hand dogs.  That's all you are.  This does not make you more special than anyone else.  This does not make you a 'good person.'  

"If ‘adopting’ a shelter dog makes you feel ‘better about yourself’, you don’t need a dog. You need a therapist." Jay Kitchener

Debbie Laykind thinks she's so much better than you that she attacks people who speak out about Ruff House.

Poor Debbie, she just can't handle the fact that she's been had.  She's not the only one.  

Meanwhile you may ask yourself why do Retail Rescue's like Ruff House do it?   

They do it for the CASH.  Retail Rescue is highly lucrative.  HIGHLY.  Here's what some had to say about Ruff House. 

 

You can act to stop these situations.  First, do not give them money!   It's common for Retail Rescue to purchase houses, businesses and properties for all cash sales with your 'donations.'  Trace their cash flow BEFORE you donate.  

Second, report them to the USDA for not only their conditions but the illegal shipment of sick dogs over state lines.  Report Ruff House using the USDA's online complaint form.  

Report them to state and local authorities.  Many people have reported Ruff House to New York authorities but they are covering for her.  Don't let them get away with it!  Continue filing complaints!  Ruff House's transporter Luisa Montalvo has also recently been charged for leaving a paralyzed dog in freezing temperatures overnight in her transport van.  

It does not matter where you are, you can still contact local authorities and complain about what they are allowing to continue in their community.

You can also file complaints with all state authorities in New York and Texas that oversee animal rescues.  The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets requires that all dogs imported into New York have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) proving they are free and clear of any infectious or communicable diseases or parasites.  Not a single dog should be resold by Ruff House that has ANY parasites or diseases.  It is illegal.  If you bought a dog that was sick, REPORT them.  Stop excusing them and giving them a free pass.  

Situations like this will never end until people speak up and hold officials accountable for giving 'rescue' a free pass.

Exposing Cons Brings the Home Girls Out

     A couple of my recent stories about Retail Rescues making truly insane amounts of money selling off sick, contagious or vicious dogs hit a nerve recently.   Meet Scotti Fitzgerald.  This gutter muffin thinks she knows more than me about how to properly rescue and save animals.  I have underwear older than her.   But go ahead sugar, tell me how SPECIAL you are, as if I can't see from all the selfies. 

    Now Scotti here with her years of experience in breeding, raising, training and rescuing dogs, oh and let's not forget all of her years of veterinarian experience in contagious disease!  Yes, Scotti is just SO SURE that she knows more than me about the proper management of a contagious disease that can infect and kill your child, you or any member of your family.   

Yeah, Scotti is a real expert.  Let's see what she has to say about a Virginia Retail Rescue selling a known brucellosis infected 2nd hand dog they sourced out of Texas while making at least $5 million in less than 5 years. 

Oh yeah, tell me how special you are.  I also saw that while you dispute how much money your buddies are pulling in tax-free, you personally also paid some of the vet bills for them.  So sweetheart, did you ever get paid back?   Or, sob, sob, was it FOR THE ANIMALS?

Cry me a river.   Honey, you've been had.   And if you transported that horrifically wounded dog over state lines, you are a criminal.   It is illegal to transport a dog in that condition.  

But wait, there's more!  These Retail Rescue's didn't like the fact that I had pointed out that American dog breeders had almost completely eradicated brucellosis from American dogs before the "rescue" crowd brought it back in spades.  So the fact that THE RESCUE sold off a brucellosis positive dog, they decided to blame that one on breeders.  How dare I challenge their narrative!  Meet Jennifer, the main focus of one of my recent articles.   

So which breeder is that Jennifer and JoEllen?  The majority of these dogs collected up in Texas really come from Mexico.  I really love how Jennifer wants you to believe that breeders "kill their waste."  Really honey?  Just how is that?  But wait, more deluded supporters showed up to troll my page overnight and deflect blame off Jennifer.

Hey Amber, what happens in Mexico ain't my problem.  You want to 'solve' this at the source?   How about we get that border wall finished?   That will solve a huge part of this Retail Rescue pipeline and put your buddies out of business.  But go ahead, keep hating on American dog breeders who are not the problem.

Poor Jennifer, I feel sorry for her this morning.  Here she thought she'd have a nice calm day selling off 2nd hand dogs for $$$$ but now someone's looking at the dirt in her backyard.   

So Jennifer... tell me about that brewery.

Update: This has turned into a multi-part series.

Living off Animal Suffering - Retail Rescue Exposed

Retail Rescue is really just about the money, not 'saving' dogs.   This is an issue I've been writing about for over 20 years.  That rescue in your community with the heart rendering sob stories that open your wallet?  Is probably run by a secret millionaire.  Most of them are.  Rescue is a dirty rich business in all tax-free untraceable cash.  

Let me introduce you to "Elliott," a desperately suffering and dying dog deliberately kept alive so that a Retail Rescue could profit. 

This is Part 3 of a series on "This Is Houston" rescue in Texas.  A rescue formed in 2019.  They originally caught my eye when I saw them posting that they were looking to resell a brucellosis positive dog.   

You can read Part 1: Could Your Neighbor's Dog Kill Your Child?  Or Part 2: Another Brucellosis Positive Dog Sold In Virginia of this series here. 

According to their social media posts they are pulling in money hand over fist and saving an astronomical number of dogs all miraculously hit by cars. Every dog they have for sale has some outrageous story attached to it.  Shot, used as target practice, hit by cars, hit by a train, blah, blah, blah.   Every dog has literally beaten death if not had their hearts stop outright while valiant rescuers stood by and cried.  If you listen to Laura Forma, all of Cleveland and Houston, Texas is one wide open sewer filled with stray dogs humping each other senseless and having puppies in the gutters.  Those that live are all used as sport while everyone in Houston seems to get their jollies off of hitting them with their cars.  

Yeah, right Laura.  

In fact, here's a fiction of the century story from Laura and Tom from May 2020 to explain how they got their hands on 15 highly resellable puppies: 

Did ya catch that?  They want you to believe that some unnamed SPCA left a bunch of intact dogs running free on some property in Cleveland, Texas.  They want you to believe that these dogs were intact and just humping each other senseless and whelping their puppies in farm fields while daddy was eating birds to survive.  Yet none of the parents starved to death and mom had enough milk to raise puppies?  Meanwhile, they only managed to 'catch' the dogs when the puppies were grown up, CUTE and miraculously ready FOR SALE.  Oh, and notice they caught the puppies but no mention is made of the parent dogs.....  IF you believe this story, I have a bridge to sell you. 

These people are really some of the best masters of rescue porn I've ever seen.  Dozens of individual pictures of sad and suffering dogs, every post has a plea for money.  HELP US.  Give us your money!!  By attaching fundraisers to individual pictures they obscure how much money is pouring in. 

Remember Ozzy, the dog withbrucellosis that they were attempting to sell to the public?  They claim they have spent over $25,000 on his care already and that he is in a $40 a day boarding kennel.  Yet the most recent IRS filings available for them claim that they received just $51,298 in donations in 2019. This Is Houston is a circle jerk of just three people:  Amanda Hulebak, Tom Heller, and Laura Forma (calling herself Laura Jean on social media).  They call claim to not make a dime off their efforts.  Not a single dime. (though they are revising their website AS I'm posting these articles to make themselves look much bigger.) 

Tattooed Tom the "security expert" bad ass (I'm laughing in my cornflakes on that one) lives here:

Here's where it get's really interesting... their IRS 990's claims Amanda Hulebak is one of their Board of Directors but she is not listed on their website.  In fact, she claims to be both the founder and president of this rescue but also 'quit' less than a year after founding it.   

In this post, she's responding to an allegation that she was misusing donations for her own personal benefit.

Remember that figure.  $51K.   Cuz Laura and Tattooed Tom are masters of the Retail Rescue Heartstrings Pulling Blackmail Stories. 

I literally cannot keep up with screen capturing the 'donations' heart string posts begging for cash constantly.  Every dog has a outrageous sob story.  The majority of them all hit by cars.  (what's the odds?).  To jerk your heart strings even more, some of these sad eyed dogs were HIT HEAD ON BY A CAR.  Really?  

There is no way this couple is only pulling in $51 grand a year.  It wouldn't shock me if they were pulling in $51 grand A DAY.

The "Save them All" savior complex hurts dogs more than it saves.  Let's meet Elliott.  

"This Is Houston" ran multiple separate fundraisers for a dog named Elliott. They claim his vet bill is over $10,000 to 'save' his life. 

Before you see the hysteria, here are the facts.
1.) Elliott ate a sock.
2.) When Elliott became sick and started losing weight, his owners took him to the ER.
3.) After discovering the sock, the ER said it would cost $$ to 'try' and save his life, or another option was to put him down because the damage was too extensive.
4.) Elliott's owners signed him over for euthanasia.  
5.) A 'vet tech' at the ER funneled Elliott over to This Is Houston to 'save.'

Now you have the players.  This Is Houston are the saviors.  Elliott's owners, evil monsters so lacking in care for their dog that they can't even keep their house clean.  

This is because Laura and Tatooed Tom think they are better than you.  

Elliott sadly ate  sock that bound up and obstructed his insides.  In the Social Justice Warrior Halo Polishing world that makes his owners cruel and abusive people who don't deserve their dog.  Yes, you heard that right.  His owners signed him over to be put down and depending upon whether or not they paid for euthanasia services, that veterinarian could have broken the law by not doing it.  Now Tom and Laura are fundraising like mad off the situation while posting picture after picture of suffering Elliott to get people to open their wallets. 

The real animal abusers in this situation are not the family that didn't pick up a sock that Elliott got a hold of.  Yes, people have attacked Elliott's family as being 'too lazy' to pick up their home when they have no idea how Elliott got ahold of the sock.  They just believe the constant rescue porn posted by Tattooed Tom and Laura.  The real abusers are the people keeping Elliot alive day after day as he suffers from a blood pressure drop to 50, raging infections, more surgeries, etc.  It is cruel and inhumane to put Elliott through this just so Tom and Laura can brag on how great they are.  After making him suffer from procedure after procedure, barely alive for days, Elliott took matters in his own hands and passed away.  

Years ago a very similar situation happened to a poodle that I bred.  He never spent a moment of his short life alone.  He was loved and pampered by a large family who took him everywhere and trained him for obedience and agility events.  One December day he ate a Christmas ornament while they weren't looking.   The glass shards punctured his intestines.  They took him to the vet 3 times before the vet finally figured out why he was sick and what might be going on.  Just 4 days later they had to make the same decision that Elliott's owners faced.  The veterinarian at the emergency room told them that even after thousands of dollars in surgery, he could not guarantee that their dog would live.  They made the sad humane decision to put him down and end his suffering instead of rolling the dice on a 'chance' he might make it.  Just as Elliott's family did.  They made the right choice. 

"This Is Houston" did not.  They kept a dog alive that should not have been so that they could have another rescue porn story to fund-raise endlessly off of.  Then there's Koda. The dog that Laura and Tattooed Tom Tom shipped from Texas to sell off in Vermont at the same time as the Elliott saga was playing out.  Unfortunately for them, "Koda" dropped dead in Virginia on the transport run.  

"This Is Houston" wants you to believe that every pet owner is irresponsible and only they are ethical and only they are saving animals.  I've never seen such a massive ego ride from a 2 year old rescue group.  They even have the nerve to ask for 'prayers' for the sick and injured dogs they are promoting.  Anyone who posts on their page to say that the same situation as Elliott happened to them and how much it cost them or anyone who dares to speak up for Elliott's owners is immediately shot down by their deluded followers as cruel and abusive.  Yet after days of intensive procedures and surgeries to remove huge parts of his intestines, Elliott DIED.  He died after spending days in agony while the majority if his intestinal tract was DEAD.  He suffered so people like Laura and Tattooed Tom could polish their halos. 

They are so good at pushing their narrative that all animal owners are cruel and abusive and only people Laura and Tattooed Tom as 'saviors.'  It's mental sickness like this that has America in the state it is today.   All of these mentally ill posters are completely clueless that in the "rescue" world, they are considered to be just as abusive as Elliott's owners.  

Do you see the mindset of these people?  Only "rescuers" love animals.  Animal owners do not.   This is YOU.   You can support rescue all you want but you are one swallowed toy, towel or sock away from the cyber lynch mob coming after YOU.  

Keeping dogs like this alive is no different than a recent story in Slate magazine about putting a vicious dog down.  The columnist relates how she purchased drove to New Jersey to buy a dog from a shelter and it started biting everyone in sight.  After investigating the dog's background she found out it had bitten 7 times before she bought it, yet in the article, she grieves for the loss of this dog and put off putting it down as long as she could.  Blackmailed into believing that love and training can 'cure' any dog.  The dog should never have been sold to her in the first place.  The shelter should be sued and shut down for negligence.  What is even worse is the author mentioning a Facebook support group exists with over 11,000 members for people who have had to put dogs down for the same reason.  It is absolutely outrageous how many rescues and shelters are selling off vicious dogs on an unsuspecting public.  

Here's where it gets really fun.  In this fluffy feel good media story about their origins, "This Is Houston" (really Laura and Tom) bragged that they transferred a dog named Thomas (allegedly their first intake) to Wags to Wishes Animal Rescue in Illinois. It's like a circle jerk in the animal retail rescue field.  

I've previously written a 3 part series about the dirty retail rescue named Wags to Wishes in 2014.  The first called When Christmas Puppies Bring Jail Time was quickly followed by Part 2:  What Makes A Good Animal Rescue which led to Part 3:  Running For Cover In Waukegan.  

Birds of a feather flock together.

YOU can act to stop this.  Do not ever donate a dime to any 'rescue' that is keeping a horrifically injured or sick animal alive.  Do not support this 'save them all' or 'leave no animal behind' savior complex.  You are doing a massive disservice to the animals you claim to love.  It IS more humane and more kind to the animal to end its suffering than to prolong it 'just in case' it might recover.   Stop satisfying your ego and put the animal first. 

You can also report these retail rescues and their practices to your local and federal authorities.  Any dog shipped over state lines is required to be 100% healthy and have an issued veterinary certificate to prove it.  File a complaint with the USDA using their online AWA Complaint form.

File a complaint with the Virginia Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Any rescue that ships dogs through Virginia OR fund-raises in the Commonwealth of Virginia is required to be state licensed. This Is Houston is shipping dogs through Virginia for resale in the Northeast.

There are many ways you can stop dogs like Elliott from suffering for greed but only if YOU act.
