Port Stephens Dog Animal Refuge -New has been deceiving the public about the status of dogs in their care, creatng mistrust and sadness in our community. It has come to light that the pound falsely reported two dogs as alive and available for adoption when, in fact, they had already been euthanized. This is not just an isolated mistake but a deliberate act of misinformation that needs urgent attention.

The first dog, repeatedly labeled as "too ugly to be rehomed," was Haydees. Despite being proclaimed safe and adopted, his lifeless body was chilling in the pound's freezer. The second dog, Noah, was characterized as "too crazy" to be adopted yet was falsely reported as safe and available for adoption. These deceitful practices raise serious ethical concerns about the management at Port Stephens Animal Refuge -New, and highlight the need for accountability.

These heartbreaking stories are not just about two dogs; they reflect a potentially systemic issue of misrepresentation and neglect. If Port Stephens Animal Refuge -New, can lie about the status of these animals, it calls into question their entire operational transparency and animal welfare standards.

Transparency, honesty, and animal welfare should be prioritized, restoring trust with the public and ensuring the safety and dignity of all animals in their care.
