For weeks now, I have been sent shot of conversations between board members of FTHs. I have quietly sat and read each one and angry thought should I release any of this. They are private conversations and I wasn’t quite sure morally it was right. I also realized the impact it could have on the rescue.
Tonight on their main page .. directed at me as well…. I’ll add my rebuttal in wrapped in *****
FROM THE BOARD OF FINDING THEM HOMES.
Social media recently has been rife with accusations against FTH, and many people have been unnecessarily slandered. The unfortuate side effect of this 'campaign' is that a lot of energy is being taken away from the mission of FTH - finding forever homes for dogs rescued from northern communities - and put into countering these accusations.
The intent of this post is to address these accusations, once and for all. No more energy will be wasted on entertaining this 'campaign'. Unfortunately people will have to choose between continuing to support the work FTH is doing, or going their own way. If those who choose to stop supporting FTH want to go ahead and put their energy into helping dogs by setting up their own rescue, we wish them well.
Here is what FTH is being accused of:
1. fosters who are no longer able to foster are being 'kicked off' the foster page
- the foster group exists to allow efficient communications between FTH and active fosters. People are never removed from this group without notification. When fosters let us know they're unable to foster for a while, for whatever reason, our foster co-ordinator messages them prior to removing them from the foster group and explains why they're being taken off the group. When they are ready to resume fostering they are added back to the group. This is done purely for administrative purposes so FTH can tell at a glance who the active fosters are and discuss needs with them….
***there was a comment on my page by a foster who thought she was a foster. she was removed without her knowledge... that they need to ask her about.****
.
2. fosters are being used and abused
- FTH just came through an extremely hectic period when there were very large numbers of rescued dogs, with a subsequent high need for fosters. We are learning as we grow and we've recently instituted a (minimum) 2-week break for fosters between dogs. No one who needs a break is ever denied. Fosters are a very valued group and FTH could not rescue dogs without them.
*****I myself a foster felt used and abused not once was a foster break offered to me until I took one I think it lasted 4 days and was asked to take a difficult dog. Screenshots later will show that they called fosters quitter, my minion, and bitches. They also mention in a screenshot that they are the only ones who are committed to the dogs. ******
3. people are being blocked from seeing posts on the main FTH FB group
- first, it is not possible in FB to block people from seeing posts in a group
- second, even if it was possible, FTH has not blocked anyone from seeing posts on this group
******I was blocked by the president and her sister (not sure what her role is) there for making any posts made by the invisible to me. They have been seen intercepting updates from my fosters and sent via pm to those who have me blocked so I couldn’t see them. AND no I couldn’t see them. If someone personally blocks you cannot see their posts on a group page. They can however see mine as they are admins. I since removed myself from the group.*********
4. FTH only wants to deal with people who can give something to them e.g. services, rides, donations, etc
- FTH consists not only of the board but of many, many volunteers who willingly devote their time and effort because they have a drive to help dogs in unfortunate circumstances find a forever home. Collectively we have hundreds of interactions every week with donors, adopters, volunteers, people seeking information, people wanting to know how they can help, the media, etc. Our reward comes not from atta-boys but from seeing dogs develop fully in their new homes.
*****I personally witness them time and time again replace people when they no longer had a benefit. I been witness to hear when they bash these people because they are quote annoying.******
5. people feel they're being 'unfriended' in retaliation for something they did or did not do
- what started off as a small effort to find homes for a few dogs rescued from northern communities has blossomed into a sizeable organization. In 3 years over 1,100 dogs were rescued and placed in forever homes. People on the FTH board, who are all volunteers with full-time jobs but with a big heart for dogs, were finding it impossible to separate their FTH lives from their personal lives. Before anyone was 'unfriended', an explanation was posted to let others know about the need to regain some control over their personal space. So, there was no vindictiveness involved in this necessary step.
****This one I have no clue about…*****
Now my accusations
Lets start at the most hurtful …. I posted my dog had cancer and that no treatment would be happening… my status was screenshot and send to the president her response was NICE!!!!!! I’ll let you see the despicable post your self
SEE picture one
NOW what rescue laughs and needs a BOOST about a dog having cancer?????
They have repeatedly stalked me, obsessively how many times can one person’s name come up??
Picture 2 notice the name calling Skanky Penski of a former foster and my name…
Picture 3 is a shared screen shot from my page as well as name calling me a bitch by president
Picture 4 them being paranoid about me sending someone to get on the inside and accusing me of righting her replies for her paranoid much?…. I did NOT
Picture 5 is the president calling this particular foster a fucking quitter because she was having family issues and had to take a break.
Picture 6 Is more bitch name calling by the president.. towards me and the foster
Picture 7 my name again brought up as if I had something to do with it
Picture 8 is proof they stalked my page
Picture 9 a screenshot of my page shared
Picture 10 -15 they even trash talk each other!!! The dog trainer, the foster and the foster coordinator and look even their own friend…even the sweetest woman I’ve ever spoken to.
Picture 13 trash talking a foster, commenting they are the only committed people in group*, and blaming me for a foster not accepting a difficult dog
Picture 14 calling me CL (cunt licker) referring to me, you can see on the top line my foster update was forwarded to the person who has me blocked so I can’t see it
Picture 15 16 the adoption co ordinator and president bashing a potential adopter… also a physical threat to me
Picture 17 18 conversation how they are angry that no one will spy and send screenshot of my page
Picture 19 trash talking and calling names
Picture 20 21 president talks to foster/friend about my page sent screenshots …calls me psycho HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU VISITED MY PAGE? And I’m the psycho
Picture 22 23 Again with calling a foster names and sharing my screen shots, checking my friends list etc brags about using her friends account because I blocked them all and she creeped a lot!!! Oh fun!
Picture 24 did they say fosters can take a break well this shows how unhappy they are when you do
Picture 25 heres the adoption co ordinator and the sister bashing foster this one is my particular favourite ..oh that’s me talking in the top
Pictures 26 trash talking one of my friends about how stupid she is and Carrie about the van she assisted in getting for them
And last for this picture 27 shows they used and recruited not only fake profiles to watch me but other board members
This is not all the screenshots sent nor others that I need to think about what to do with ..but this proves in their own words how they treat fosters, friends and adopter. I am not the issue!! People talk and word spreads and you didn’t need my help to have the issues you have you’ve done it alone!
Now stay away from me, my family, my dogs and my facebook profile ... they say its all about the dogs but this looks like high school to me.. and quite frankly I'm sick of it.. I've done nothing to you !
