Over 70 DOGS in VEGAS suffering from a Respiratory outbreak

The Issue

My name is Rasha, I am a huge animal lover and an advocate for JUSTICE.

Just 2 days ago it was 40 animals and within 48 hours the number has nearly doubled to 77 animals today.

***Dogs picture above

Foster dog named Bullock, a black & white Border Collie, who tested POSITIVE for STREP ZOO!    HE WAS EUTHANIZED, according to his foster.     This poor pup also tested positive for bordetella,  mycoplasma, and Pneumovirus. "We then got home & carried him into the house, his mouth was dripping a lot of blood & his tongue looked like bacon. And he just dropped to the floor & started crying. We rushed him to the ER..." (he was also exposed to their own pup ).  

That poor dog came to TAF on Sept. 17 healthy but is dead by Sept. 28 

 

I urge you to please stand up for all the animals that are at the Animal Foundation, we need to be their voice.

The neglect by the Animal Foundation is now intentional, it's being done knowing that the animals are being harmed. Therefore, willful neglect should be considered serious and investigated and prosecuted. 

Where is the accountability for their actions???! The whole board starting with CEO Hilarie Grey needs to be investigated and forced to step down immediately. They are blocking the aid of other non-profits, organizations, volunteers, the public, and most importantly their staff from being able to rescue the animals from this nightmare they’re living in day and night.

We've attached the records of a recent foster dog named Bullock, a black & white Border Collie, who tested POSITIVE for STREP ZOO!    HE WAS EUTHANIZED, according to his foster.     This poor pup also tested positive for bordetella,  mycoplasma, and Pneumovirus. "We then got home & carried him into the house, his mouth was dripping a lot of blood & his tongue looked like bacon. And he just dropped to the floor & started crying. We rushed him to the ER..."

Oct. 10 Animal Foundation: 40 dogs showing respiratory symptoms;                    there are 11 positive for Canine Pneumovirus

I ask that you please Sign to ensure the safety of these innocent animals and future ones to come. We are taking action hoping to see results asap because the next council meeting is a week away and that's too long for these innocent souls to continue to suffer.

My friends, family, and colleagues will continue to stand up for them so that they may no longer suffer at the hands of their supposed savior “The Animal Foundation”.

Please give these babies a second chance to get a loving family hopefully soon. 

I’ve lived overseas, and in multiple states on the West Coast, Missouri, Texas, and Hawaii and I have never seen anything like this with such a so-called “respectable” organization that is well-funded. Not to mention it’s heartbreaking to see this happening here in America, not in a third-world country, and not due to lack of funding but it's due to the GREED of the TAF board that handed positions just for being friends with the CEO.

Thank you so much for your HUGE Hearts!

Love,
Rasha
