GEORGEANNS HOMELESS HOUNDS & FOSTER PROGRAM OF FLORIDA INC
February 13, 2012
WARNING!!!!! This shelters puppies have Parvo, a deadly and highly contagious disease. A reputable vet in St Petersburg that georgann recommended diagnosed the puppy with parvo 1 day after we adopted her. We are currently trying to save her! We notified Georgeann and she stated the vet just wanted the german shepherd/rott mix puppy and our money and there is no way the puppy has parvo. She obviously does not have the other puppies well being at heart. We just want to warn other people so they do not go through what we are going through. More puppies from her shelter are still online at adopt a pet. The puppy was also infested with worms and according to the vet the shots were administered way to young, if any shots or worming was actually ever done at all.

A few months ago, I was giving an opportunity to give a helping hand at Homeless-Hounds. Homeless Hounds is a couple of hard-working people, that do anything and EVERYTHING for their animals. How can anyone sit on their butts and think of false allegations to put against them? Especially to that extreme level. They love and care for their animals incredibly and always make sure every last one of them is taken care of. Some of the animals on her ranch were going to be put to death, instead of having their lives taken away they were able to stay on this ranch and given a chance too go to a good home. I loved the fact I was able to volunteer here, every last animal was happy, sweet, and friendly. And its not just the animals it's Georgeann as well. She's such a strong woman that truly loves her animals, and would never cause harm to anyone of them. She was even nice of enough to let my dog receive his shots for free when I couldn't afford them.

After reading the malicious allegations made against Homeless Hounds I was absolutely stunned. By the way, for those of you who don't know what an allegation is, it means that you asserted that something was true WITHOUT PROOF! Not one shred of evidence has ever been presented to back up your ridiculous claims, which are just vicious and cowardly. Your actions are nothing but a witch hunt out to destroy one of the best rescues I've ever dealt with. Oh, and let's not forget that her lawyer offered hush money, which is a statement too inane to dignify with a response.
You people say that closing down rescues is for the good of the animals. What about those legitimate rescues you take pride in shutting down? When they're no longer operational, you tell me how many animals are "saved" when good rescues aren't there to take them anymore?

Ever since I met george anne in 8th grade she has mentored me in becoming a dog owner. I own a curr-pit mix named Freya, which I had just recently adopted from the spca before contacting george anne. She was 10 weeks old and needed all of her puppy shots/heart worm medication/flea medication, which george anne intstructed me on where and how to get. I was also taught how to properly train freya while she was still a puppy. By the age of 3 months freya was house-broken entirely, and listened to the commands; come, sit, lay down, and stay. I am proud to say that 3 years later I could not ask for a better dog.
Aside from my dog interactions with george anne, I have volunteered over 100 hours of time on her ranch and have never seen a hint of animal abuse or neglect. George anne is the last hope for many animals, her (NON PROFIT, DONATION DEPENDENT, 0 HELP FROM THE STATE DUE TO HER RULE OF NO EUTHENIZATION) organization saves countless numbers of deemed for death due to minor agression issues.

Firstly let me say that i am appalled by the libelous unfounded statements i have read and heard about georgeann's shelter. i cannot contemplate the kind of human garbage that would spew the lies that have been said about these kind amazing people and their business. i myself have been gifted enough to meet these people and they have helped me and my little dog Eros on numerous occasions; as well as helping many other people i know. Whenever i need help with anything animal related i call george or georgeann before i do anything they truly know exactly what they're doing and they help me love and care for my pets in the best ways possible. I have been on their ranch on numerous occasions as a volunteer and still go there at least twice a week to donate food and help with the ranch every time i have been there the animals are always perfectly healthy and there are many animals there that if george and georgeann hadn't taken them in they would have certainly faced death at the hands of an uncaring shelter that would have euthanized them no more than two weeks after receiving them. in fact i know some of these animals by heart; big man, a once very aggressive german shepard, without georges training he would still be aggressive and have been put down by any other shelter. or molly an aggressive black lab who would have been put down as well. or even all of the little chiwawa breeds that they keep or the old nag of a horse and donkey, non of these animals would be adopted at any other shelter and would have faced the death penalty just because they're old or their original owners didn't treat them right or train them. these people, george and georgeann, are saints and should be given a medal for their kindness and thoughtless dedication to the animals they love and support not slandered by people they've never even met before. The criminals who perpetrated this crime should be ashamed of themselves.
As for the rediculous allegations that the animals are under fed at homeless hounds i have helped with feeding all of the dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, chickens, and other assorted animals there on the ranch and not one animal is ever left out, and the food shed is always full with bag upon bag of pet food i have helped put in there before and its weighed over a ton in total when they purchased it all.

they help any animal in need they dont discriminate on any basis, if there is a chance they can help that animal they will and have done it. There aren't very many no kill shelters that are as big and operate so well and beneficial to the animals, after seeing george and georgeanns shelter i would never use, help, or support a kill shelter again; This selter is truely leading the way for animal care and there should be more people like them out there.

I met george and georgeann when my son got into some trouble at school and had to do some community service.. he put in two weekends on her farm. My son is a high honors student and he was very impressed with her farm although they worked him hard he said all her animals were very well taken care of.. they didnt let him sluff off at all on any of the care.... When I went to pick him up after he was done, they met me at the gate of their ranch.. they did not let me in.. it was not because anything was amiss but because of libility and the fact that it makes some of the animals nervous... which i totally understand after she stated her reasons. it made sense. My son is also a leader in his ROTC program at school and still to this day does community service with homeless hounds and brings others with him. It is a great place. They take any discarded animal that needs a home. I have so many examples . way to many to write......... I just couldnt belive the things that have been said about this rescue since i know better because i have been there many times.. everytime i have a problem with a animal i call them and they have helped me EACH and EVERYTIME.. one nite it was at 1am when i noticed my ferret had gone down. I was freakin out and i called them, she told me to bring her over.. i thought she was gonna die.. I took her there at 1 am and left her.. gerogina told me to say a prayer and call her in the morning.... she worked with my baby all nite and pulled her thur.. so dont tell me that bullshit that she shots sick animals that is just so much crap.. she also took my neighbors puppy who couldnt walk on her back leg... george said she had pulled something.. they took that dog home and she is now walking on all four of her legs although it took a month and YES she is still there. I have seen this women (georgann) stop on the side of the road when someone was giving away free cats and tell them that they run the potential of providing gator bait for people... she does not always take a dontation for an animal . she is more concerned for the welfare of the animal.. I have be associated with them for more then two yrs now and yes I have been on the ranch and seen for myself.. they are selective for good reasons not because they have anything to hide which anyone can find that out if they check into the reports that animal control has posted about their ranch.. what u have here is with all this bullshit posting is several people who wanted their dogs "fixed" and then wanted them back without haveing to pay which believe me happens alot. people always seem to what something for nothing and scam to do it.. what a shame when in all reality george and georgann would have probaly helped them if they had asked. and yes they come off rough but that is their personality and their right.. not everyone is the proveribal sweet grandmother type but just ask them a few questions and they will talk your ear off with all the advice and help..

An allegation by someone who is not willing to identify themselves, made the statement “her lawyer offered me money to shut up.” this is a FALSE MISSTATEMENTof fact that never occurred. Over the course of time, there have been a few false allegations and they have all been declared unfounded. If there is anyone with legitimate questions of concerns relating to the conduct of Georgeann’s Homeless Hounds & Foster Program of Florida, Inc., they are requested to contact my office directly.

I represent Georgeann’s Homeless Hounds & Foster Program of Florida, Inc., a Florida non-profit Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Homeless Hounds) and a D.A.R.T. Member Volunteer. Homeless Hounds has appropriate policies and procedures in effect when animals are surrendered to Homeless Hounds. Connie Brooks of the Pinellas County SPCA “ ... felt the ranch was clean and the animals were well cared for.” She specifically noted she did not see an abundance of feces and there was no foul odor on the ranch. Dr. Rhonda Johnson advised that she had “been familiar with them for 5+ years and has never seen any abuse, cruelty or neglect .... ” The State Attorney’s Office “... did not find any evidence of abuse or neglect on the ranch...... The animals on the ranch were all in good health and ... had access to food, water and shelter. The property was clean and well kept.” James R. Kennedy, Jr., Esq.

Georgeanne should be shut down! She almost killed the animal we gave her. Kept donation, called and lied, lied lied. Her lawyers offered me $ to shut up. By the way that isn't even her real name. She is in it for money. Sheila, I hope you read this. I thought you closed down. Now I know you just left Pinellas county. My endevors will continue now to include Pasco, Hernando etc. etc. etc.
