I volunteer at Georgeannes homeless hounds and it is an outstanding experience. All of the animals on this ranch are treated with great kindness and are very loveable. I would say George and Georgeanne are experts in helping and aiding dogs, they would not lie about any dog having a virus like Parvo. If a dog really did have Parvo then i believe they would have taken the necessary actions to isolate the litter and make sure it did not spread to any other animals. Fortunately none of the dogs ever had Parvo so they did not have to go to this extreme measures and do not need to be hassled by it.

Georgeanne's Homeless Hounds is one of the greatest nonprofits I have volunteered at, even though it is the only place I've been to that deals with animals I firmly believe that they exceed expectations. I regularly volunteer there on the weekends and I find it a very compelling place for animals to come and go from. I have personally handled all of the dogs and I can assure you that none of the dogs have Parvo or any other infectious disease. Georgeanne's is a great place to adopt or donate a dog to and I am expecting to adopt a dog for myself within a couple of weeks. I cannot wait till I get another chance to return and spend the day helping out the ranch do what they do best, taking care of animals!

Reading the majority of the reviews on Georgine's ranch, I am dumbfounded by the amount of lies posted. First of all, Parvo, being +80% fatal, is a virus that would infect and kill nearly all the animals in contact of the canine. However this is not the case; as for the other 15 adult dogs and numerous variety of puppies ( puppies of which have a weaker immune system than adult dogs) are all fine and happy. It is obvious for those of us that have the ability to think to conclude that if ONE SINGLE DOG was infected with parvo while at Georgine's ranch there would be an epidemic followed by a graveyard of canine corpses. Aside from the parvo issue, my experiences at the ranch have been nothing but the epitome of a learning experience and incorporated by happy, HEALTHY and friendly dogs. Over the years of knowing Georgine and spending over 200+ hours of community service on her ranch, I think it would be quite evident to me if there was any case of animal abuse or neglect. In fact, there has been atleast 2 occasions where Georgine has personally saved my dog's life (along with a ferret). Purely by the amount of effort Georgine exerts from sun up to sun down on her ranch just to keep these animals out of the gas chamber is a clear example of how much love she has for each and everyone of her animals. In conclusion, if Georgine were to have never started her rescue I know that my animals she has saved and nursed back to health would have died along with the many homeless hounds or dogs with minor aggression issues presented to her. In my eyes, and those of my family, she is a hero and savior to countless animals all around the Hernando-Citrus area.

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.

Homeless Hounds is a great place too adopt a puppy. They take extremely good care of their animals and love every last one of them. Its a shame too see negative comments being directed at this shelter when they work so hard too keep their pups healthy.

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.

Not only do i volunteer at homeless hounds on a regular basis but i have adopted 2 puppies there and both have been healthy and continue to be healthy today as adults. george and georganne have always been nothing but helpful and caring to any of the animals i brought there and have even given my dog shots for free when i was unable to pay for them and my dogs were in need. As far as all of these alleged Parvo reports go it seems to me to all be done by one angry customer and possibly their friends. I have seen and played with all of georgannes puppies and they ARE NOT sick. These people spend their lives taking in and care of animals who are in need, spending their time and love on animals others would and have thrown away, that some people would be so slanderous to these good people is beyond me and can only stem from greed and misunderstanding.

I don't feel that a rescue should be allowed to post on there own rescue so if you are not the rescue and feel different contact me and I would be more then happy to provide you with proof. And for your information THE VET HAS already contacted many people including the county (WHICH BY THE WAY THEY HAVE NUMBEROUS COMPLAINTS AND STORIES LIKE THIS THROUGH THE STATE WHICH IS WHY THE NEWS IS TAKING THE STORY) and if you look up more info online it states that in the beginning of February there was an outbreak at there "supposed" ranch. The place should be shut down for 7 months and inches of ground scraped up and the entire place cleansed! ALSO these people are registered as a non profit organization which is why they don't have to legally provide a clean bill of health however they ARE CHARGING $300 dollars per dog! So yes There is a large concern for the neglect of animals but also the STALING from people which is what they are doing. So if you werent Homeless hounds then you would actually have some kind of compassion for what is going on. Yes they seemed like great people and I trusted them completely until I LOST MY FAMILY MEMBER a 7 week old puppy... I am not stupid so dont treat me like I am!

Come on people who or what agency will investagate a possible out break of a virus????? Most vets.will contact a rescue if they find evidence of a parvo outbreak. Lets get real and present homless hounds with the proper paperwork and allow their board to deside any action to be taken instead of BS on the internet. Or take them before Judge Judy. Either action is the proper and adult way to handle this situation!!!

Reading this thread I have to say I don't think that this many people would just get on here and try to shut down a rescue if it was legitimate. Secondly the parvo claims are true. Why would the rescue treat a dog with parvo when they would endanger infecting the other dogs, especially if the vet said the dog will definitely die? Do they think they are smarter than a veterinarian? Do they have veterinary degrees? Why are the adopting out dogs that aren't fully vaccinated? The last person said I was told not to put my dog down until it was vaccinated. I have never adopted a dog that was not vaccinated for parvo and I have had 2 and am close friends with a breeder. The only way the vaccine doesn't work is if the dog has parvo before it receives the vaccine. Perhaps the vet has advised this "angrycustomer" to get boosters for her dogs since they were exposed to the virus. All the recent research I have done says that could be customary if your dogs are older and have not had a recent parvo vaccination as it is not required in older dogs. All of you who are defending this seem to be fake and perhaps just personal friends of the owners. Every customer , donater, and person who gave an animal is unhappy but all the "personal friends" or people who "have known them from middle school" are happy. Coincidence, I think not. Be Smart people, do your research.

Its clear that Teressa is Homeless hounds because everything that is stated is words that the lady at the place had said to me. SHE IS A LIAR.. I have proof from the vet that the puppy was so infested w parvo that no treatment would help and there was a 98% chance the dog would die. AND WE DID call them and we were told the puppy was not there problem. The paperwork was fudged the birthdate was wrong and also the fecal test had no positive or negative mark so DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE I have the news investigating and MULTIPLE people with the same problem. BTW she only takes cash so you cant prove she took payment! They are SLIMEBALLS and we need to save these dogs.. And I want my money back! I wont stop till this happens!
