My comment to our lovely Humane Society which is anything but humane. Panhandle Animal welfare society. Clearly they do not know what welfare means either.

Funny how they lost horribly in civil court over the alleged hoarding case that consisted of a lady that poured her heart and soul into saving dogs. PAWS has never mentioned that have they? PAWS would have her take dogs for them and she adopted out over 454 a year.
I’m sure the media and monetary gain from this fabricated story has helped them abundantly as they made money off her back, her life’s mission.
Many of her dogs died in their care, her donkey died in their care at Alaqua and God knows what other animals.
They were doing fine where they were. Stating that they did not have water wasn’t true because she just cleaned out the pool for them and it was not full of chlorine. They literally had a beach pool that they could swim in, they had free roam of acreage and the house.
So to make it appear as if it was just some neighborhood house in Crestview that yes, it has been built around now but she is grandfathered in on her land, further made their narrative seem horrifyingly plausible but it wasn’t. A police officer lived right next-door and his wife and they loved her and helped her. But the judge handed PAWS their tails in court. Kudos to that judge for seeing the truth!
Now this poor lady is left to grieve her dogs that she’s had for 16 years die alone in Kennels with no one around. But they told the judge that the dog was nine years old ha ha they don’t even know how old the dog is they wouldn’t listen to her when she would tell them their names, their dietary needs, the medication’s that they needed but she had a stack of spreadsheets in court that showed every veterinary visit, every medication, every single dietary need etc. And that is when they lost their case but will this lady ever be given the money that they raised? No!
And God knows no one can ever heal her heart, knowing that her dogs died without her, without being in their setting, their home that they have been in for years for the dogs, the fosters the only love and home they knew. 5000 adoptions is what this lady did, 5000 families she completed and there is a ton of them out there that will tell you how wonderful she is, what wonderful dogs they had adopted through her and many of them have gone back several times to adopt from her again.
If you are in rescue and you are paying yourself especially that much money that’s not rescue! That’s greed!
I never want to get to a point where I pay myself because that money can go directly to the care of more animals.
So instead of euthanizing them so you don’t have to care for them, pay for their medications, pay for their veterinary bills so that you can keep your $1.47 million to pay your board members… You are sick people. I hope you stay shut down forever!
The real heroes are the ones out here like me, like her, like so many other small rescue organizations that don’t pay themselves because that money can go to the care of another animal.
We scrape by, we beg for donations and I’m also always happy to post to receipts. Because 9 times out of 10,I pay for 90% of it so there’s no question where your money goes.
The fact that you haven’t gone back and retracted everything you said about her, everything that you lied about in civil court, says everything about you, let’s do a news story about that!
You were sure quick to have an anchor come out and discuss how you had to confiscate 70 animals that you have now let 10%of them die in your care. The fact that she kept begging you guys to stop asking her to take animals, for anyone to stop asking her to take animals, but you didn’t stop and then you promised to pay for their foster care, for their bills, for their food, meds, etc. and you never did… Why? Cause that money can go to your $1.47 million that you spend on your board members.
Nobody needs that much money to care for animals.
I’ve had hundreds come through and even spending 90% of my money I’ve spent about $200,000
You don’t take care of animals, you euthanize them as quickly as you can so that continued care is not necessary and you keep the funds.
I love that she did not owner surrender them that way you had to pay for them.
You wanted them so bad, you got them and now you’re killing them.
And instead of offering Humanity and welfare and helping someone which is what you’re supposed to be about, you went in like a SWAT team tore her place apart, traumatized the animals, stepped on the animals, re-injured animals and you have the audacity to call yourself humane and offer any welfare. Just so you’re aware not only did she have cameras in her house she had other people watching at other locations and they have had severe ptsd watching what you did and saying the things you did and we’re going to do to the animals.
We aren’t here to pay ourselves we are here out of Humanity to help save lives and I’m talking about me and the other small rescues, not you.
You’re welcome! The truth hurts! You have all these people fooled into thinking that you guys are the most wonderful organization that saves so many lives, when your euthanasia rate is incredibly high!
None of the animals here ever have to worry about dying unless it’s of natural causes, colic or extreme old age.
I will hospice them to the end and be there for them every second until it’s time for them to cross the rainbow bridge.
That’s rescue. That’s Humanity. That’s welfare.
For the people who want to trash talk to me and say I don’t know what I’m talking about I need to come Volunteer and see how hard it is. Honey I do it every day by myself! 365 days a year whether I’ve just had surgery, if I have a broken arm, or if I have a broken leg, I am out here every single day! I don’t close at 5 PM I don’t have the weekends off. I’m out there at 10 PM I’m out there at 3 AM if I need to be.  I have set up at Humane Society’s taking the sickest dogs home and to the vet to get them well so they wouldn’t get euthanized over something that could be healed. I’ve helped with transports of hundreds of dogs.
I’ve seen the trash bags piled up at these so-called humane societies. 
So when you work the hours I work then you can come at me and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Please go to a real rescue and
Volunteer.

Still nothing. I’m gonna end up adopting her if someone doesn’t get her!

Still nothing. I’m gonna end up adopting her if someone doesn’t get her!

149 days. That's how long Ada has been waiting.

At 8½ years old, this sweet senior has watched countless dogs come and go while she remains behind. We've shared her story again and again, hoping the right person would see what we see every single day.

But here's something we want everyone to know: We haven't given up on Ada.

Not for a second.

Behind the scenes, our behavior team has spent months learning alongside her, working patiently to understand how her blindness shapes the way she experiences the world. Every success, every setback, every tiny breakthrough has taught us something new.

And we have good news. Ada doesn't have to be the only dog in the home after all.

With a patient family, understanding canine companions willing to wear a bell, and slow, thoughtful introductions, Ada can learn to feel safe sharing her home. It takes work. It takes compassion. It takes people who understand that a blind dog can be startled when someone sneaks up on her - but who are willing to help her navigate those moments instead of giving up.

Because we're certainly not giving up.

Ada has her Halo mobility aid. She has a team that loves her fiercely. She has her foster homes, that helped us learn so much more about Ada than we ever could have hoped in the shelter. She has medical support, behavioral support, and people rooting for her every single day.

What she doesn't have is the one thing she wants most. A home.

A family willing to see past her age. Past her disability. A family who understands that this sweet old lady still gets the zoomies, still loves enrichment, still deserves adventures, and still has so much life left to live.

149 days is a long time to wait, but we believe Ada's story isn't over yet.

We still believe her person is out there.

And we hope Greenville believes that too. 💚

🦄 WE NEED HELP WITH SEPTEMBER VETERINARY CARE 🦄

For nearly 10 years, I have personally carried most of the financial and physical responsibility for Penelope’s Ever After. I am incredibly grateful for every person who has donated, purchased something from our Amazon wish list, prayed for us, or shared our animals.

But I cannot continue doing this alone.

We have a large farm call scheduled for September 30. The horses need routine vaccinations, Coggins tests, and dental care. Charlie also needs bloodwork and another box of Prascend, his Cushing’s medication, which costs $447.

Tiger, Rocky, Gracie, and Lulu—our four senior dogs with medical needs—also need senior bloodwork and X-rays. Their estimated care is another $2,000.

Our immediate fundraising goal is $4,500 for this veterinary care and Charlie’s medication.

Every amount helps. If you cannot donate, sharing this post with animal lovers would mean just as much. A few monthly donors would also give these animals the dependable support they deserve.

Penelope’s Ever After is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sanctuary. I have always believed in helping others and paying kindness forward. Today, I’m asking our community to please see us and help me continue caring for these animals.

❤️ we can donate on the platform, Venmo at April – Schumacher – 17
Cash app $Penelope's ever after 

Please donate, share, or consider becoming a monthly supporter. We truly cannot do this alone.

I have included what everyone needs in the comment under each picture. We would really appreciate any help and anyone who would love to sponsor a sweet little soul that loves to love and needs love.

If this community can come together like they did for a wonderful Amazon delivery driver that made a mistake over a then let’s continue to help our entire community, always!

I have truly loved seeing so much kindness come together and spread across the world!
I know I’ve had hundreds of people come on my page and comments about it we would appreciate it if you would LIKE, FOLLOW and keep COMMENTING it also helps bring awareness to our small little sanctuary that does big things for animals with medical needs!

I guess no one is getting up today. I don’t blame them.
Good morning! Happy Sunday!
Sometimes the weekends go by too fast!
I don’t get a single day off but I still for some reason look forward to the weekends.
I guess those were always the best times of my life…when my dad was home from traveling all week.
Finally a couple days of joy with him and away from the abuse I endured all week.
I rescue because I always needed to be rescued. 💓🦄🐶🐴🫏🐽🧸

(yes I read that crazy too)

Good night and sweet dreams from Lulu. 💓🐶🙏🏼
