I had to place an older dog (that I adopted after a friend committed suicide). I contacted the Pixie Project, after Dove Lewis recommendation. Despite the organization's horrible reputation, I reluctantly reached out for assistance. The organization's founder was not only arrogant, verbally abusive, self-centered and opportunistic, she demanded more than $2000.00 to take the dog.
In a desperate attempt to get this beloved old dog placed, i also posted him on a website 'rescueme.org' besides contacting the SPCA. and the Pixie Project. When I didn't receive responses from this website I begrudgingly went to the Pixie Project.
Without options, I gave the crazy founder of the organization $2000.00. However within a couple of days some people began responding to my ad on rescueme.org.
I directed them to the Pixie Project to pursue adoption and BECAUSE THE FOUNDER TOLD ME HOW DIFFICULT THE DOG WOULD BE TO PLACE, I assumed that she would be thrilled to have interest in the 'hard to place dog'.
What I instead experienced from this crazy woman was a series of verbally abusive threatening voicemails. WOW! I told her to keep my money, give me the dog back and stop threatening me. Instead she refused to do any of those things.
BOTTOM LINE - THIS IS THE CRAZIEST MOST SELF SERVING NARCISSIST I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.
