This rescue deserves a jail sentence not a star.
Let me ask you this, if multiple ( hundreds) of people who don't know each other are all saying the same things, and 1 claiming ( for pity) they are all bashing her...who do you believe? Do photos lie? Do screenshots of her own words lie? Do dead and missing dogs lie?
I wouldn't trust her with a goldfish...& give me a break already begging for money daily, meanwhile gets a $5k golf cart with "her own money" and wrap for the truck, equipment for her boarding and grooming business... she doesn't have a job nor does her boyfriend... wonder how she is paying for all that... I bet the IRS is too.
Over 100k in donations annually & cant even come uo with money to spay a dog who she said she would spay in April... same scam different day.
My wife and I had a great experiance with Celine and found a new family member when we saw Scout. He was in perfect health and she had medical documentation on him and told us his back story. She allowed us to bring our other dog to make sure she would get along and everything went flawlessly. She even gave us a kennel for free.
I would urge people to notice all the hateful comments are from the same person who is just posting under different names. That should tell you a lot. That is very cowardly.
I would reccomend anyone to go see Celine if they are looking to adopt. She is doing a lot and im sure the expenses are insane to take care of all those animals till someone adopts them.
Here she goes again...
Giving dogs to people who can't afford their care...
Asking donors to pay adoption fees...
Poor Flower's Mom. Sounds like a nice lady. Did Celine ask you to come here and leave her a good review instead of paying the full adoption fee? I am sorry she has you fooled. She fooled me once, too, and its one of my biggest regrets.
Basically buying good reviews. Anything to make herself look like a hero.
Still won't tell you what happened to Tumbleweed over 10 years ago, just like she won't tell you what happened to London and Nala just 2 months ago.
Where is the receipts on Mr. Smoke and Fatty? Did Mr. Smoke get his dental as you said he would? What about Fatty and his tumor? I would love some unedited proof. Don't show an estimate like it is a receipt. Don't try to blur anything out this time or alter it, please.
What happened to the chow mom and her babies? Not 1 update... you just keep adding more dogs...
This "rescue" is not ethical, kills dogs on a whim, because she sets them up for dog attacks by cramming unrelated dogs in the same kennel, the dogs have attacked and killed a neighbors dog, and she herself has dumped dogs at the vet and pound to be euthanized and didn't even pay, don't get me wrong she will fundraise.... and somehow can't afford to pay so the vet has to cover her. Her death count totals in the hundreds...
Thank god all the dogs below made it out alive. You can't fake her own words... you can't fake the photos of injuries she causes. She is NOT a sanctuary, boarding facility, groomer, or even a rescue. She is a drifter, scammer and con. And anyone sending money is supporting these images, and you should honestly be ashamed, use your eyes and stop being manipulated. Who do you believe? Your eyes or the rescues lies???
If not for Celine's Cats and Canines I would not have my sweet, happy lil' Flower. I can't thank you enough for all you did for her and all you did to help me get her, knowing my limitations and that I had my heart set on her. I need my girl every bit as much as she needs me. She is my whole world. The fact that you still want to know that she is taken care of and are so willing to answer questions and advise me when I ask even now means the world to me. Not everyone would do that. Should I get Flower a sibling I will come to Celine's Cats and Canines before anywhere else. Thank you again. ❤️I wanted to put a pic but they are all bigger than 3MB and won't fit.
It is very sad to see so much hatred aimed towards one person and/or group. Celine has always been extremely transparent with me and I have trusted her to care for my dogs while on vacation. Not only were my dogs well cared for, my super anxious dog was out playing and enjoying his time which he has NEVER done at other boarding facilities.
Everyone bashing, saying things about the property being dirty or kennels have poop in them - ever been to any other facility that houses many animals? Walking through the kennels at the shelter, I’ve seen poop smeared on the walls and pee covering the floors. Where is the uproar there?
Is Celine perfect? No. Is rescue ever perfect? No. Please spend all this time and effort on helping dogs and making a difference in the DFW area. This type of nonstop bullying does nothing except make those bullying look like the villains in this situation.
I would trust Celine to watch my dogs again and again.
I see you can’t even make sure the boarding dogs have water!! Are you afraid the well is going to run dry?? There is no way I would leave a dog in your care!! That black dog is foaming at the mouth!!
It’s obvious you don’t care about the rescue dogs anymore! That’s why you aren’t having adoptions! It’s easier to just kill them like Nala and London, right??? Moron that puts dogs together in a tiny kennel and expects them to get along!!
Where is Hannah??? You can’t tell the truth!! How old was she?? Hannah aged 8 years in one year?? Did you save her from the slaughter house just to kill her?? Where is she?? You are a pathetic liar!!! You do not need to be in rescue!!
Where is London??? We know you kill Nala but where is London? What did you do with her?? The vet gave you medicine to treat her! Where is she?
#JusticeForNala!! Where is London? You dog killer! Cat killer! Blame yourself for not getting dogs adopted. You lie about their temperament!! How many more are you going to kill that have been stuck in your filthy hell hole??? Why would anyone board their loving pets with you??
The moment you started taking donations in the name of charity and rescuing animals, you gave the IRS and the public every right to judge you. We don't need to be in your blood and and lie soaked shoes to see you for what you are. Now that you were caught red handed killing and lying, none of us are going to defend you anymore.
I am so so so ashamed I supported and even stuck up for you in the past. I hope most people like me that are staying friends with you on fb are just there to watch you go down.
Yikes.... your rabbit hole of nonsense is Netflix worthy... How have you managed to fool the public for so long? Who all is covering for you???
Nevermind just the amount of animals you've had controversies about, that seems to go on forever, but...
Asks $2500 for a purebred Bulldog puppy...
Leaves a dog in her hot car while she goes and works a shift at a fast food place... pictures show police were called haha
Posts videos of poking her terrified client boarding dogs with a stick.. poor buddy covered in poop and pee with no blanket...
Did the mayor sell your donated Freshpet food? Did you get a cut of that? Has he been part of your protection?
Maybe using donations for your IVF treatments?
Like wtf. How tf.
At least that is one dog you CAN NOT KILL like Nala, Chico, Russell, Lil Dude, Daisy, Tumbleweed, JoJo, Bunny, Gazelle, Brownie, Mojo, Molly….Oh the list goes on and on!
Celine will only show you what she wants to. She hides on Facebook, where she can clumsily attempt to control the people who comment and criticize her. She keeps herself in an echo chamber of praise. She never discusses her failures. She uses random veterinarians as her janitor to quietly disappear dogs she no longer wants to deal with.
She can brag about her 6 seater gold cart purchase with her own money on Facebook... then shows up at a vet an hour away 2 weeks later to euthanize 2 dogs she "has no funds for."
Celine clearly has a black hole in her soul that she has desperately tried to fill with animals and children. I pity her deeply for her inability to grow up and deal with her demons in a healthier manner. Instead, she drags innocents into her pit of despair, as she claws at the dustbowl in her backyard and cries about the public not helping her build her dream Disneyland for dogs.
Celine is just a less entertaining Joe Exotic with dogs. I can only imagine what her children will think once they see the legacy she has left on the internet for them.
Clean your nasty, gross, dirty, filthy place up. The dogs don’t even have any water and what is out there is gross and the dogs couldn’t get to it if they tried. You should be embarrassed but you have no clue what it takes to run a rescue or a boarding facility. Also quit lying about shelters referring you. They know about your crap hole and it would be the last place they would send a dog.
Maybe you genuinely started this with good intentions and got lost, I don't know, but it's time to stop. You're suffering. Your family is suffering. The animals are suffering. I am genuinely sorry your dream turned into a nightmare, but please set ego and pride aside and do the right thing. You might yet recover some face if you just say you're done. Stop taking animals in. If you're just going to euthanize and not work properly with them, they'll have just as much a chance being relinquished as they would being left in outdoor kennels.
If you wouldn't block and delete literally every single person who asks a question or gives even the slightest criticism, there wouldn't be so many people coming here to be heard. Which seems wrong when we have donated to you.
Please, Celine. There are people who still care about you, but we need you to stop. The lies are adding up too quickly.
This rescue who piles dog on top of dog in tiny crates, then has the nerve to euthanized a dog that she set up to fail. Nala was in a fight with London.... after cramming 2 unrelated pits into tiny crates ( probably all the other crates filled with her boarding dogs, and grooming dogs) She is a con artist. Vet had to cover the euthanization. Her own money goes to toys - if she has a conscien she would never show her face again. But she doesn't, she uses her poor me BS to make her followers feel sorry for her. What about the dogs????? I don't care about feelings. This has nothing to do with autism, it has 100% to do with a scheming, unethical, dishonest & dangerous rescue/boarding/ sanctuary or whatever she is calling it this week
Excllent work followers & donors, look what your support got, Nala a shiny black garbage bag ( left at the vet because she doesnt care) Your support helped kill another dog....
Celine got caught in a lie about killing Nala and wanting London dead, and now she can’t handle it. Get over it! Your ducks had better be in a row Celine, because you are about to find out why!! Dog killer! Grifter! Liar! Fraud! You killed Nala! You killed Chico! You killed Russell! You killed Lil Dude! You killed Tumbleweed! You killed too many to list! Your rescue sucks, your boarding sucks and your grooming sucks!
Gross, now the dogs have to spend all day and night in tiny cold kennels. No blankets to keep them warm. Yayyy for your “friend” (yeah sure)! idiot! We wonder why you have so many dogs with hip and leg problems. Sleeping on cold azz concrete and cold plastic.
You got in more dogs you can grift off of. Not real smart are you?? Did you stick that Shih Tzu with the neurological problem in a small kennel? No doubt she is probably in the same cold shed as your frenchie dog Fiona since she isn’t allowed in your house either. No matter how much you clean that place you can just tell it smells. Just swishing that gross water around. About as nasty as those pictures from inside all the houses you ever lived in and destroyed.
Quit lying! Just because your idiot supporters can’t see the BS that your rescue does, the rest of us do. You lie all the time and I only hope the people you con just wake the hell up. You tried conning SSI out of $41,000.00. Just remember, you post this crap! So it’s all YOUR own words. If we can see it, hopefully the IRS will also!
The owner of this rescue doesn’t think she is a grifter but she is. You used your rescue to raise money for IVF! Isn’t that called misappropriation of funds?? Where did the funds go for the metal building you raised? Instead the dogs are outside in the freezing cold and in the summer in the dead of heat. If you cared about the dogs like you say, you would protect them before buying yourself a golf cart. You already had two 4-wheelers! One you raised funds for also. How hard is it for you, your HuBbY and teenage son and your paid employee to walk what,15 kennels? I hope every dog gets adopted. Too bad you have ferals because you never will take the time to work with them. You even have one that runs loose. Yeah that what a rescue does!!! NOT!! You buy heaters and you turned them off because you didn’t want to use the funds you get to make sure they are warm!!
Funny how Celine's friends say all the negative reviews are fake, yet apparently they're fine making fake reviews themselves. Here's a woman who posted a 5 star review saying how much she loves the dog and Sue has found her home, only to return her hours later for being aggressive.
Do your research people. Celine spends ZERO time with these rescue dogs, which is why they've turned feral, are aggressive, and suffer life changing injuries.
Ask yourself how a dog came to her with 2 good eyes, and less than 5 months later needs one removed? Vets don't automatically jump to removing an eye unless it's serious. How do I know this? Because I've been a vet tech for 13 years And in order for it to get that serious there was either another "accident" , or she didn't notice the injury until it got so bad the only solution was removal. Then we have Iris a dog who collapsed with yellow gums due to liver failure. Once again, dogs don't just jump into liver failure. And for yellow gums that's a clear indicator of neglect to symptoms or poisoning. That's the ONLY explanation. Plain and simple. Once again 13 years as a vet tech, I know what I'm talking about
You're dealing with a "rescue" that has these dogs simply for the praise and money she receives. She's too busy with her boarding dogs making sure they get nice crates while the rescues sleep in rusted, dirty crates with no blankets. She's too busy talking hundreds of pictures of the boarding dogs put none of the rescue dogs. Why? Because th boarding dogs are her meal ticket. The rescues are a chore. It's all about appearance with her. Just ask her about begging for money for the eye removal, surgery, yet spending $15,000 on a golf cart because she's too lazy to walk to feed the dogs. But, hey, the good news is now she can take kids to see all the human aggressive dogs she refuses to work with. Woo hoo!
Yayy you have adopted out some dogs. Good for them getting out of that crap hole. Besides the dogs you have killed, beat or even poking a boarding dog with a metal rod, why can’t you at least clean the cone on a dog that just had eye surgery? Or take the time to teach a dog not to jump a fence. I just don’t get it. All you do is house dogs and sell them. Yourself, your “hubby” and your hired vet tech should do better. Also if you want to waste money on a stupid golf cart because we know how hard it is to walk a row of kennels (eye row), don’t complain when your supporters call you out for it. You could have built that large metal outdoor building you were collecting money for. Hopefully people are seeing you for just what you are, a grifting hoarder. If you don’t know what grifter means, look it up!
I don't know why there are so many people talking crazy. Not every place is perfect. The family running this place were kind, warm and charming. They care about the dogs and the people who adopt them. They went over the entire vet file with current records. Celine and Cody were organized, proficient and professional. They have a big heart and wonderful personality.
I would recommend this place to more people.
Sue has a loving home with us now. Because even older dogs need a second chance. I would employ people to see for themselves and not believe everything they read online.
- added edit:
Yes we are taking sue back. She didn't acclimate, becausedogs have feelings and in new environments show different personalities. Celine is really kind and good hearted, she was just as sad as i was at the outcome. For all the vitriol some person has decided to slap onto my review, I'm still not dissuaded. I pray for this person who has a vendetta, may God heal whateveris in your heart and guide you to stop being so angry. As for being a vet tech who we have no proof of, i take a grain of salt to.
My family went on a quest for a new dog that led us to Celine. We were so deeply impressed with Celine, her facility, the animals and how they were maintained, and the whole operation. I feel like we found so much more than just a shelter. I would recommend anyone looking to rescue an animal to contact them. I most definitely can see myself going back for possibly multiple animals in the future. Pleasure to meet Celine and her family.
Figure out how to clean the bowls the dogs drink out of! Slimy green film is so disgusting! Why does Cookie have a broken leash around her neck?? Why are you taking in more dogs when you have 28 for free? Worst rescuer in the DFW area!
Wow!!! Nobody is lying if Celine is the one making the posts. Get real. Some of us have known her since she poisoned Tumbleweed and had Russell killed after she returned him to the shelter that she had just adopted him from. She blocks anyone who gives her any suggestions. Really she hasn’t changed at all. Like since when has she done background checks on adopters that have adopted dogs in the past? Hahaha! She gave a dog to a sex offender in another state. So why should she care who gets a free dog? She just wants them gone. We don’t care what rescue are doing in other states. So stay in your lane. We care about dogs that she doesn’t have time for because she is way over her head. Notice she is still taking in dogs?? If she spent as much time on the free dogs to make them more adoptable, the dogs might have a chance. Instead she posts about the boarding dogs and spending time with them. Any boarding facility that would put unaltered dogs together is just dumb in my opinion. Does she even know the law that took effect on boarding other people’s pets at her facility? I doubt it!!
WOW!!! Someone has an absolute Miserable, sad life on here! What other reason would she have to constantly make up lies about Celine & her rescue?? Celine is one of the most giving, caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She takes excellent care of all her dogs, many, many times she’s used her own money to take the dogs in her care to the vets, maxing her credit cards out more than once to ensure those entrusted in her care are taken care of. Including the ones dumped in her care by other rescue’s & people who board with her, that never come back for their pets. Sadly that is happening more & more all across the country!
So is offering long time residents & puppies for free just to get them in homes. I have seen a number of rescues doing the same in the last few months including here in Michigan where I Live now.
To clarify however, people still have to fill out an application, still have to pass a back ground check, still have to have at least 3 good references & a Veterinarian reference. I know Celine follows this protocol as do we.
Im just asking folks to please look past the miserable individual & her Co conspirators & read from those that truly know Celine & her family & Know how much her rescue means to her.
Why don’t you clean up your place before you bring in more dogs and you wouldn’t have the spread of kennel cough. Do you tell the owners that this may happen and that you think you are some vet and can just administer some medication? Maybe you need to be reported to the Texas Animal Health Commission.
I have had so many dogs of all kinds of breeds and I love them all. But I knew when I lost my sweet old German Shepherd mix, I really wanted a Dutch Shepherd next time. Dutchies are a little hard to find, but I got a hit with Celine's rescue. I went out today to meet my new Calliope and she is so perfect. Celine asked me all the right questions, but clearly wasn't trying to rule me out (as some rescues do), but only trying to be sure Cally got a good home. All the dogs and cats on the property appeared to be healthy, safe, and happy - there are a bunch of four footed sweethearts out there. Celine was interesting and interested - talking with her is comfortable and she answered all my questions honestly. I admire the work she is doing in Azle so much! I had no trouble setting an appointment, Celine had my little girl all bathed and gleaming when I came, and I will return to this rescue if I ever have another "opening" at my house. Highly recommended!!
Why can’t you work with some of the fearful dogs in the rescue like you do with boarding dogs that already have a home? Such a failure! Now you are giving the rescue dogs away for free! You need to figure out your priorities. Not for your sake but for the poor dogs stuck in kennels 23 hours a day. Stop taking in what you can’t already fix.
What kind of a sucky rescue are you running that you are giving away free dogs?? Why even bother being a rescue at all!! That is not how things are done. You set these dogs up for failure because you don’t know what you are doing! You never have!!
What kind of trash hole is this place? Are you going to take care of any dog that gets injured on those stupid pallets? Spent all those rescue funds on fencing and you use dog kennels to cover up holes? Not real smart are you?
Let me fix this ridiculous post for ya, sweetie. If your dogs are as perfect as you claim them to be (all our housebroken, love everybody, healthy, good with dogs, cats, fish, kids, unicorns...), they'd be getting adopted with or without the "haters" that you like to blame EVERYTHING on. And the fact you're the only rescue that doesn't do home checks and vet references, it's really a mystery why people arent lined up at the gate. I mean you're basically a Craigslist rescue.
They're not being adopted for numerous reasons. Let me clue you in to the reasons since clearly you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal. But that's okay, I got ya ;)
#1 - times are hard. If you actually had any connections with shelters you'd know they're all full. But since you're banned from them all I can understand your ignorance on the subject. Why are they full? Because as I previously said, times are hard. Not haters. Tough economy. But the truth doesn't bring in the donations, so spread those lies.
#2 - not everyone wants to pay $1,000 for a dog when breed specific rescues have the same dogs going for half the price. But hey, you need that money, because how else would you get the dogs half of the mortgage and electricity bill. Heaven forbid baby daddy get a real job. Yikes. That's just crazy talk.
#3 - If people aren't adopting from your rescue it's because of all the s*it they're seeing you post on your rescue page. Most wanna stay away, from the drama that you thrive on so... That's all, on you.
Can I get an AMEN!
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
AMEN!
When a rescue creates the drama so they can get donations THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.
When a rescue feels the need to post drama filled "poor me" posts numerous times a day on their rescue page... They're creating the drama.
People go to a rescues page to see the dogs. They're not there for your personal crap. You wanna use Facebook as your own little Dear Diary.... that's just weird, but at least do it on your own personal page. You're making an absolute fool out of yourself. I didn't think you could stoop any lower, yet here we are *rolls eyes
Also why are you asking for donations of blankets and pet bedding? You've already stated numerous times the dogs don't get blankets or bedding because they pee on them and you're to lazy to wash them, soooo.... *shrugs
And we know you don't allow any animals in your home. Are you and baby daddy cold? Maybe instead of asking people for things that can be donated and used by a real rescue, you just buy them yourself with all that thousands you just claimed you just had donated. For a woman (and I use the term loosely) that cries and cries DAILY you sure are bringing in the bucks. All those pity donations must make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But, hey, anything works as long as you and baby daddy don't have to work, right?
Bless your little heart *kiss
Why you keep lying. She is outside! You show it yourself. Your supporters are just idiots. Most don’t even live here and know you. Yeah just keep on that lying and making a fool out of yourself.
By the way. No we aren’t going to get her. You decided to be some rescuer who doesn’t know how to rescue. These dogs would be better off being PTS then to live in that hellhole in a cold plastic igloo with zero warmth. Just ugh!
It’s sad you had to have this girl delivered to you from Corpus. She is so fearful and food agressive. She will probably be stuck in an outdoor kennel for the rest of her life in that nasty place of yours. Stop taking in so many. You don’t even know how to work with them so they can overcome and be more adoptable. Way over your head. You are NOT a dog whisperer or a trainer or even a groomer. ♀️
Let me tell you why we don’t let her pull from any Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding animal shelters. Because of her mistreatment to the animals that were suppose to be in her care. How she has beat and PTS many dogs instead of paying for their care. She is way over her head. Her place in Azle is nasty. Stop supporting her.
Don’t believethelies
Celine is banned from shelters in Texas
From N to S and E to W. Don’t believe the lies she posts or those of her friends.
CB will tell you she doesn't care about shelter that don't let her pull ... YOU should care. The short list of why she can't pull is because of the numbers of animals that die in her rescue. The number of animals that disappear and cannot be accounted for in her rescue. The number of animals that end up with broken bones, etc. directly attributable to abuse, the number of animals in extreme critical condition before medical is sought for them. YOU SHOULD CARE. CELINE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO CARE. YOU SHOULD CARE.
TUMBLEWEED didn’t want Celine to kill him. Take a good look. This is one of many reasons why CB can’t pull from the Fort Worth TX shelter. Tumbleweed was from that shelter. He was a beautiful full coated kitty when FWACC released him to CB. This is what CB did to sweet TUMBLEWEED. TORTURE. She will tell YOU she has no idea why Fort Worth won’t let her pull. She knows why. CB doesn’t want YOU to know why. She doesn’t want YOU to see this photo or any of the others.
CB doesn’t want you to care - like she doesn’t care. YOU SHOULD CARE.
Read the 1 star reviews. The 5 star reviews are fake. Paid for by this fake rescue. A rescue that has adopted out to level 3 sex offenders because she's more concerned about the money then where the dogs go.
It's funny how she thinks it's okay for her friends to give her 5 star reviews but the 1 star reviews are all lies.
And thank you for the invite to your "rescue" there's a large group of us (definitely more than one person) that are interested in coming to visit and have a walk-around. Now that we've been given a formal invite we'll be there soon.
Also since you're willing to answer all questions how is this person leaving all the 1 star reviews being "dealt with"?
You know the one person that apparently has 60 different email addresses?
Are they being dealt with by imaginary lawyers? Lawyers that this "rescue" managed to scam her followers out of almost $400 for?
You're threats are hilarious and everyone is laughing at you. Better luck next time, sweetie.
DON’T SURRENDER OR BOARD YOUR DOGS TO HER!!
This is how this rescue treats her own dogs. Locked in 10x10 kennels. This is a working dog and the dog looks sad as hell. I wouldn’t board my own dogs with her because of the photos and videos she shares. Her place is dirty. Clean up all the chewed up leashes and collars laying around. Poor horses don’t have enough land to run on. She is way over her head.
Public service announcement:
Before reading 1☆ reviews look at the names. It's the exact same person posting over & over. That person is known & is being dealt with. She has never met nor spoken with with Celine S Cats And Canines in person. Nor has she ever been to her facility. She simply has a personal vendetta because Celine is contacted by many shelters & rescues when they are in need & those same shelters will not affiliate with the woman doing all of the repetitive posting.
Celine is a wonderful person who has dedicated her life to all animals. Especially those hardest to place & most in need. She spends thousands of dollars monthly with her vet & assures only the best care. Her vet will gladly speak to you if you have any questions. Just ask & you will receive factual information any time you like. Celines rescue is open to visitors daily & is an open book when questions are asked. She keeps meticulous paperwork and is always willing to share that information as well. So please if you are interested in adopting a very well cared for, loved, fully vetted and tested dog do not hesitate to contact Celine to find out for your self anything you would like to know. If you want to see real reviews please take a look at the 5☆ reviews from the people who have actually know & adopted from Celine S Cats And Canines and know her personally, as I do. Thank you for reading and I know Celine will be looking forward to speaking with you and introducing you to her wonderful animals!
Oh please stop with posting how clean everything is when you share pictures like this! Why can’t you get them clean water with all the volunteers you have? Don’t say it’s because of the dogs. You should have cleaned it before the picture. ♀️ Also why aren’t you putting straw in the igloos for the dogs to lay in? What a waste to just spread it everywhere. Those poor dogs are so cold at night laying in hard plastic. Ugh!
We had to surrender our babies Mae (age 3) and Chloe (age 4) to Celine due to financial reasons and having to move into a home where we can’t have pets. Mae and Chloe look so good and happy! Every update I see of them they look well fed and exercised, and we are so grateful that Celine was able to take them in when NO OTHER NO-KILL SHELTER OR RESCUE WOULD, and we reached out to every single one in the DFW. Our girls would have died at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control and at least with Celine they have a chance to live a happy and long life. When I went to see the setup, the kennels were clean, spacious and the pups all were happy to see Celine and truly seemed like they trusted her as a good human. The water and food was fresh, and Celine has been transparent with us for EVERYTHING and has the receipts to back it up.
I stopped donating when I learned you were wasting the money on stupid crap like this. Especially when you make a fundraiser everyday!! Are you keeping the dogs for forever or are you wanting them to find new homes? Quit wasting other people’s money to try to make your place look good, when all anyone has to do is look at what you are posting and see that it looks like trash. I mean you could have bought 20 metal buildings with the wasteful spending on kennels, roof covers and straw. You aren’t spending money on food so where are you putting that $60.00 you use to spend? You should be ashamed of yourself for tagging people for funds. Bob spent money on a cooler for your garage and then told him it wasn’t good enough. You weren’t even using it correctly anyway. ♀️♀️
For someone who claims to hate the drama you sure like to post about it on your joke of a rescue page. Enough is enough. I used to follow you but I can't anymore. I now understood why people don't like you. All this drama you bring on yourself. But how will else will get people to give you their hard-earned money? That's the only way you know how to con people.... Boohoo I'm a baby. All I do is cry all day because people don't like me because of my autism. But you know that's a lie. It's just your go-to con. Boohoo hoo ... gimme... gimme... gimme.
I mean for someone who claims to love dogs so much but doesn't allow them into their own house is really weird and just goes to prove that you only like dogs if you can make money off of them. I just can't with you anymore.
... Annnnnnd here we go again. Blaming your "disability" because you've gotten in over your head. Blaming the "haters" because people aren't adopting. You just got $700 donated in 3 days but it's everyone else's fault that you're in debt because you and baby daddy choose not to work. No one's fault but your own. But hey, nothing like using you and your sons "disability" to get those donations. Because of course you're the only to ever have autism. The whole "poor me-feel sorry for me-feel sorry for my son-feel sorry for me getting in over my head-feel sorry for me because I have high blood pressure-feel sorry for me because I don't have custody of my son-feel sorry for me because I have to look after dogs that I don't even like but pretend I do-feel sorry for me because I have a God complex and need the praise of strangers to feel better about myself-feel sorry for me because I have to wake up early-feel sorry for me people don't like me-feel sorry for me because I pretend to cry all the time-feel sorry for me because I'm such a crappy rescue I can't pull dogs from anywhere-feel sorry for me because ex-cons dump their dogs on me-feel sorry for me because I didn't have any friends in high-school - feel sorry for me because it's hard for me to talk to people" is getting really old.... I could go on all day, but I guess that's the only way you can feel better about yourself. Quite frankly it's laughable especially since everyone knows you've been pulling this crap for years.
Have another look! Her quicks are NOT long! It’s her nails! You can see where the quick ends! But yeah just lie!
Aren't you supposed to be a groomer? Yet you can't even cut the nails of the dogs that are in your "rescue" What is wrong with you? This senior dog deserves better than being stuck in a crate 23 hrs a day with no blanket and badger nails.
Is the harness on the ground behind Zeus the one he will come with? The torn, dirty, broken one on the ground? Is the nail laying behind him extra or does it just come in his paw when adopted? Geez you are so extra special with your nasty place!
This rescue begs nonstop for money yet the dogs live in filth. She claims the dogs are all housebroken yet then says the reason they don't have blankets in their metal crates is because they pee on them. Apparently she doesn't know how to do laundry (as you can see from the screenshots of video taken from inside her home)
This woman is so far in over her head and it's the animals that will always suffer. No one is believing her lies anymore, yet it's everyone else's fault.
There's all kinds of different trash and debri in the kennels. The dogs are so sad.. They jump and beg and cry to be taken out of this place. Once you see it you cannot unsee it. They are afraid Celine.
Stop telling people you are no kill!! You beat a dog in September 2023 with a pooper scooper and had him killed. You only had Chico 2 days and didn’t keep him separated from your other dogs. Xango also an UNALTERED dog you already had for 6 months got into it with Chico. You didn’t have Xango killed. Instead you waited until December to have Xango fixed and than killed him in Feb 2024. So you are anything but no kill. Poor Chico. I hope Chico haunts you. He didn’t have any scars. I talked to Haltom City the day you beat him. Stop lying. Stop telling people you work with shelters. You can’t pull because you are banned. Liar.
I have volunteered at this rescue so I have first hand experience. I thought this was a good rescue and I was doing a good thing by volunteering my time. Boy was I wrong. Sadly this is a couple who just want to never work again live off of donations and do the bare minimum for the animals in the care. Once I saw the way the animals were treated and how donations were not being used to help the animals at all it broke my heart. The dogs dont even have blankets to lay on. It's heartbreaking. I had to quit. The sad eyes of these dogs still haunt me. I pray they get adopted because no dog deserves this.
Celine take excellent care of her dogs, the dog runs are scooped daily. So all these lies about the dog runs being full of poop is bull crap because I personally help her scoop them and take care of these dogs. It is a lot of work, and her and her spouse work everyday to take care of these animals and give them a chance to find a forever home.
The only dogs that are underweight are the ones that just came in, and they won't be underweight very long.
The rescue was her choice and she work very hard for it in all temperatures.
Great rescue. A hard program to keep up with but she's doing it.
You tell people you take good care of the animals in your rescue yet look at Hannah! What have you done to her? She looks sick and it’s unfair she has zero protection from the weather. You should be ashamed to call yourself a rescuer.
I wasn't going to bother with a review, because this trash rescue thrives off of drama and those sympathy donations, but since she's asking for negative reviews, I figured I'd tell my story. This is my boy Percy. He belonged to Celine Broecker of Azle, Texas. His name was Terrance. A dog that came to her perfectly healthy then went downhill FAST!
Percy came to me after a friend of a friend of a friend adopted him from Celine for $75. I should also mention that there was no application, no home check done, no vet references were called AND her boyfriend carried him to the car, so the adopter wouldn't see he couldn't use his back leg.
Celine took Terrance/Percy to the vets because he was limping on September 22nd. She claimed he pulled his knee and was fine. "It doesn't even bother him." Those were her exact words.
Needless to say, that was absolute BULLSH*T! Terrance/Percy's hip was dislocated. Fully dislocated. He couldn't use that leg at all.
After being with me for 1 week, Terrance/Percy had gained over one pound (he was severely underweight) and was scheduled for FHO surgery. Now, before you try and say, "FHO is very common in dogs," you're right. BUT this is a dog who has ZERO wear and tear on his hip joint. NO sign whatsoever of hip dysplasia. This isn't me making up sh*t. This is from the orthopedic surgeon.
So please tell me how a dog can suffer such a drastic injury. An injury that can only happen through blunt force trauma since there was zero deterioration of the joint? This isn't me making up stuff. These are the facts. Pure. Facts.
While with Celine's Cats & Canines Rescue for such a short time, he lived his life in a small crate in her hot shed. The screenshots were taken from her video of all the dogs in her care. A very sad video.
Ask yourself: How is this rescue? Do I actually have proof of someone kicking or abusing Terrance/Percy? No. But the fact that a very healthy dog received a dislocated hip while in her care is all the proof I need. A hip so badly dislocated that he needed $2,300 surgery. All for an injury she claimed "doesn't bother him."
If people want to continue supporting this sham of a rescue, that's their choice. Percy is now living with me and has absolutely thrived. He's one of the lucky ones to survive that hellhole she calls a rescue. And his story deserves to be told.
This is a 501c3 rescue. A rescue that people have been bringing attention to for years. A rescue that begs for funds daily yet provides the bare minimum of care (which apparently is enough if you live in Texas). A rescue that is on EVERY DNA/DNR throughout Texas!
List of shelters she's banned from :
Hurst, Haltom, Richland Hills, Azle, Weatherford, Mesquite, Balch Springs, Bedford, River Oaks, North Richland Hills, Dallas, Rockwall, Garland, Saginaw, Fort Worth, Everman, Burleson, And Pelican Bay (according to the mayor) Arlington, Waco, Lake Worth, Crowley, Grand Prarie. And the whole Rio Grande Valley area.
And I believe Denton, Collin County and Lewisville.
This isn't a smear campaign against a rescue actually helping animals. And this certainly isn't bullying. This is bringing awareness to a woman who has gotten away with horrible cruelty for over 13 years. A woman that is so far in over her head that she blames everything bad in her life on her "disability" or the "fosters". She expects everyone to pay for her choices then cries and belittles those for not supporting her and her baby daddy.
Please do your research before you donate to a rescue that is in it for the wrong reasons.
When a "rescue" is more concerned about reviews on some site than the wellbeing of the dogs in her care, something is seriously wrong. We all know these "poor me" posts are just to get those sympathy donations, but maybe if she got of fb and actually worked with the dogs, she wouldn't have puppies that have turned feral while in her care?
Claiming all these dogs are housebroken, yet they've never lived in a house is sad. How can a so called rescue claim to "love dogs" and say "they're her life", yet not one dog lives in her house? You'll NEVER see pictures of these dogs as part of her family. They live their life alone. Ask Celine Cats & Canines about Fiona her own personal special-needs frenchie. She lives her life outside crated in a shed. How can you love dogs so much, but not allow any in your home? Then she wonders why so many of her dogs turn feral. Lack of human contact will do that to a companion animal. Instead of working with these dogs, she chooses to just keep on bring more in so she can pat herself on the back for being a "hero". Meanwhile the others in her care just want some human attention. When a rescue is worse than a shelter... Something is seriously wrong.
You are so pitiful to advertise new dogs and don’t even give them a chance to settle down. You are a dog flipper!! You don’t care about the animals in that mess you call a rescue. You don’t care who gets them either. How many have you had returned this year? All you say is they got a loving home but you wouldn’t even know that as long as you get the money. Get a real job! You and that worthless lazy “HuBbY” and stop living off other people’s money.
Always complaining about not getting funds and adoptions yet taking in more dogs. Sad they have to live in that filth. I feel sorry for any animal at your place.
Celine's Cats & Canines Rescue is founded and run by a Con Artist who is both intelligent and articulate in spite of having High Functioning Autism. What isn't being told by the Founder is that many people with Autism hold Doctorate Degrees, etc. because they are very smart. Unfortunately, this woman uses her intelligence as a Con Artist to benefit herself and boyfriend "hubbie" only. She is not bullied. Far from it, she just can't stand the truth being exposed about her deplorable history and practices in animal welfare, so in her typical Con Artist way she broadcasts that she has High Functioning Autism and that's why people say bad things about her. This is a very vain effort to cover all of her misdeeds with animals. She is banned from so many animal shelters and Veterinarian Clinics/Hospitals in Texas that everyone has lost count. None of these professional entities could care less about her having High Functioning Autism. She is judged and banned for one reason and one reason only the fact that too many animals die while in her rescue and while in her care, her horrible judgment and refusal to provide medical care until it's too late, but rest assured, she always has very good reasons, just not good enough reasons, to gain pull rights from the vast majority of Texas Animal Shelters or to be able to take her animals for Vet Care to the vast majority of clincs/hospitals in the DFW metroplex area. They all have experience with her and know her well. The horrid reputation of Celine's Cats & Canines extends from the DFW metroplex area to the Rio Grande Valley (Texas/Mexico) border where none of the shelters on the border in Deep South Texas will allow her to pull animals from their shelters either. For those who drink the Celine Cats & Canine koolaid you are only hurting the animals in the care of Celine's Cats & Canines and the unfortunate ones through donations received that she will be able to gain access to through Craig's List, Lost & Found FB Sites as well as a huge number of owner surrenders coming from people on their way to incarceration. She is going to tell you she's bullied because she has a disability. Then she will attach a fundraiser to that post, so Sympathy Donations can be sent to her bank account that should be titled "Con Artist Rescue". She is going to tell you that she has pull rights to only a few shelters because that's of her choosing to keep her from becoming overwhelmed. She's going to tell you that all of her animals are vetted right away. What she won't show you are itemized Vet statements. She's not going to tell you why and how many Texas Animal Shelters will not give her pull rights which is really why she only has pull rights at a very very small number of tiny Texas Animal Shelters. Those are the only 3 or 4 rights she's been able to scrounge up. She's not going to tell you about the dogs she kills and has needlessly euthanized by the one Vet in the metroplex that allows her on property. There's a lot she's not going to tell you, but some research will tell you all about Celine's Cats & Canines to the detriment of any animal that finds itself hopelessly in her care.
When a rescue feels the need to charge $1000 for a dog because it's a "trendy breed" that's called dog flipping. Plain and simple. It doesn't matter how much it costs to vet the dog. Celine took this dog on knowing it would cost more to vet. That's not the adopters responsibility to fit the bill.
And using your "disability" to get sympathy and donations is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic, and downright disrespectful to those of us that have real disabilities. I've donated to you in the past, but NEVER AGAIN. You think everyone is against you and that's a joke. Those of us that have donated are sick and tired of you constantly blaming the "haters" or your autism on you not having money. It's no one's responsibility BUT YOURS to care for the dogs YOU decide to bring in. Making us feel guilty because we have bills of our own, and can't pay for you and boyfriend to stay home and not work is sickening!!!!!
Your "disability" didn't stop you from having a job at the fast food joint. Your "disability" didn't stop you from having your donors pay for your car repairs. Your "disability" didn't stop you from taking donations for IVF treatment. Your "disability" didn't stop you from getting a house. Your "disability" didn't stop you from killing 100's of dogs and cats. Your "disability" didn't stop you from talking trash about your neighbors behind their back. Your "disability" didn't stop you from scamming people out of $115,000 in 2023 (and that's just what you claimed).
It's time to pull up those big girl panties and start acting like an adult, because ya know what sweetie, life is hard. And just because you have a 501 doesn't mean the general public is responsible for funding YOUR rescue. The whole "boo-hoo poor me, I have kids to take to appointments, and my blood pressure is high because of the haters and no donations coming in" is getting really old
Nobody and I mean nobody cares about your autism so stop saying that’s the reason you are hated. I hope all the dogs and cats you killed haunt you. Those dogs would be better off humanely euthanized then to live in kennels and outside 24/7. Just because you let them out an hour twice a day doesn’t mean they feel love. Quit taking in more and complain your adoptions are low. Plus, no one owes you a thing!! YOU decided to open a rescue. You should of had a couple years worth of money in the bank before you started. NO one and I mean no one owes you a thing. ASK SAM MULLIN HOW THINGS ARE GOING AT HIS PLACE.
Why are you still taking in dogs when you complain about lack of adoptions. Because you are a hoarder!!! You have zero fosters so all the dogs have to stay outside or in a shed. Now you have an additional shed to stick more in. Even your own dogs stay in kennels in the shed or outside in a 10’x10’ locked kennel. You are ridiculous when it comes to the welfare of any animal. You are not a rescuer.
Please stop supporting Celine’s cats & canines. She thinks Lila, a very old blind dog committed suicide in a pool that was many houses away. She is just a grifter wanting your money to pay her mortgage and bills.
Please do your research before you donate or support this so called rescue. This is a rescue that has had podcasts done on them because of the amount of neglect and killing this rescue has done. This is a rescue that is banned from the following shelters...
Hurst, Haltom, Richland Hills, Azle, Weatherford, Mesquite, Balch Springs, Bedford, River Oaks, North Richland Hills, Dallas, Rockwall, Garland, Saginaw, Fort Worth, Everman, Burleson, And Pelican Bay (according to the mayor) Arlington, Waco, Lake Worth, Crowley, Grand Prarie.
And I believe Denton, Collin County and Lewisville.
This is a rescue that has begged for all these fake 5 star reviews. Literally begs friends and family to lie to make her rescue look good. This is not rescue. This is a rescue that turns puppies feral due to lack of human contact, yet she continues to bring in more dogs she can't afford in hopes of flipping them so her and her boyfriend don't have to work.
This is the truth. Do the research. There's posts on Reddit, FB pages with over 100,000 followers dedicated to the horror and abuse this rescue has caused.
Just do your own research.
Remember this blind senior dog that you left out and she wander several houses away from your house and she drowned? Well actually you said she committed “suicide” Poor Lila suffered an awful death drowning. Just awful. Get out of rescue!
Why should anyone donate to a hoarder and dog/cat killer? Do you not remember lil’ Dude, Tumbleweed, Enya and all her puppies, Chico that you beat over the head because you were too stupid to keep him seperated from another unvetted dog? Poor Hannah the horse is so sickly looking she should be put down instead of suffering. Sam Mullin is going down! Get a grip!
When a rescue doesn’t follow the law and allows unvetted boarding dogs mixed in with her rescue dogs, you know she doesn’t know what she is doing. She has feral dogs for 5 years or more she hasn’t even tried to handle. So they stay in 10’ x 10’ kennels 24/7. Just sad. They would have been better euthanized then to live out their lives in mud and dirt. I hope she ends like the creep that runs shelter-a-mutt in Corpus Christi that is being investigated right now. They deserve to share a jail cell.
She keep dogs out 24/7 no matter the weather. Her place reeks of dog, ducks and horse urine and crap. She begs everyday and gets mad at her supporters if they don’t give. Her biyfriend is lazy. Don’t go there with your pets.
She takes in unaltered dogs into her boarding facility that she shares with her rescue. Really she is just a hoarder. Her place is filthy. Green water, poop in the kennels, smells like nasty old urine. Don’t use her! It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
With means out of my control I had to leave my Bella with her for a couple of weeks and the day I dropped her off she goes into heat, she helped me get her fixed and took time and pictures of her to send to me so I could she my baby, you can't make everyone happy but they made me happy , thanks
I saw prince and instantly fell in love. U sent a message and within minutes received a call. Celine brought him to us and made sure he would be a right fit for us and the deal was sealed. I am very pleased with every part of the experience dealing with Celine and I lam extremely excited about being able to give this little guy the best home he could ever imagined.
This "rescue" using that term lightly, had documented cases of fraud, manipulation and dishonesty. She claims to be a "no kill" rescue, after injuring, killing and neglecting animals for over 15 years now. She just bear a dog and took to be euthanized for a fight with another dog. Her dogs have fought with neighbor dogs, resulting in one being injured and killed. Always someone else's fault.
She has the nerve to now say "everyone deserves a second chance" .. right. Only her, not the animals she kills though. She is a disaster waiting to happen.
She also runs a boarding facility and claims " licensed by state" she has no such licensing. She boards dogs who are unactivated, unaltered and then begs her followers to pay for the vet care for her "personal" boarding business. How is this not a scam? Not transparent, pulls in over $100k for last 2 years & the dogs have wood pallets to play on.. no wonder so many leg, foot injuries... no idea what she is doing.
I hope those who support this sham remember your at fault too. No rescue has the dog fights and drama she does. She is not fit to care for herself let alone an animal.
Recently, my dog (Teddy) crossed the rainbow bridge. Heartbroken I began the search for another fur baby to share my love with. I reached out to Celeste’s Cats and Canine. What a bright positive experience. Celeste was very caring and understanding. I adopted DaVinci (Earl) that day. When I arrived to bring Earl home, Celeste was having Earl groomed for his new home. She had all of the paperwork ready for me right down to having him chipped. The things that Celeste and company are doing to help our pet population are unparalleled. I will NEVER forget the amazing experience. Please, please, please donate to this incredible cause. They are truly amazing people. Thank you!
Thank you for our newest addition to our family, Lyra! I've read a lot of these bad reviews but I have been to the property and the dogs are well kept and don't look sick like other rescues that I have been to. I have a 20 month old daughter so of course I was very nervous when looking for a dog to adopt to be around my child and I couldn't have chosen a better dog and place. ❤️
Hi! I adopted my pup Jax aka Romo from Celine’s last month. It was a great experience! I met him and we hit it off. I was going on a trip so, I could not get him for a week. I was able to pay and pick him up later. They accommodated me since I could not get him then. Both very professional and informative about his background and the paperwork was easy too! I was so excited. He is adorable! Since he has been at my house, he is snuggly, very well behaved and loves to share my dinner! He loves ice cream and is learning what bye-bye means. He is 7 years old and I love him so much! He is very affectionate and calm. We can’t wait till it is not so hot that we can go outside more! So thankful for him. Celine has many dogs and they are all well taken care of too. I would adopt there again!
I am very happy to say we love this rescue. As for the person ShopDdlbug who is complaining about her going to Houston shame on you! Networking is a huge part of rescue. I work with multiple rescues and am a vet tech and a board member for a Houston 501c rescue in Houston. One of the rescues I work with was at the Houston Dog Show. While I was not able to attend the dog show Holiday was marketed at the event. My family drove from Houston 4 hours to DFW to adopt Holiday. Rescue is not easy it’s hard and to have people shame people making a difference by marketing, showcasing a dog that had been in the rescue long term is commitment. I drove and picked up Holiday from the rescue and the dogs on premises are loved and cared for. These dogs are fed, and vetted. Rescue is not easy, it is expensive to feed and vet dogs. I was more then happy to paying the $125 adoption fee which was beyond reasonable. Having a fully vetted dog for $125 is bargain. Support your local shelter and rescue for the love of animals. Donate, volunteer, foster and adopt. Our 9 hour round trip for Holiday was 100% worth it. If she had not gone to Houston she would still be seeking a forever home. We love her and her new name is Celine. This is an outstanding 501c rescue and I plan to help network and share posts to bring them adopters and for future donations.
What surprises me the most is how much this scammer rescue manages to get away with. Begging for money every day, but also money to got to pay for a room and spend the weekend in Houston, then posts how desperate they are for money to pay vet bills. She doesn't work, nor does her baby daddy, all while not having custody of her own kids.
She kills dogs, sets them up for failure with no home/vet checks. She is an absolute scammer and should be stopped.
The animals in her rescue are not her priority or she would stop taking new ones. She is cobstantly throuwing her having autism ariund to guilt people. Noone mentions it but her. Such a disgusting grifter.
She lies nonstop, and although she is a nonprofit who should have transparency she doesnt because she is jn victim mode day in and day out.
Supposed groomer whose own rescue dogs suffer with long nails, matting, and so on.
Run!! She is in over her head, and only doing it for greed.
I was really impressed how Celine loves these animals and spends so much time with them. She makes sure they have plenty of shade & that they spend time in the air conditioned rooms. I highly recommend adopting from here.
I became a dog dad when I got married and she moved in with two Chihuahuas. They were our babies and were incredibly spoiled. We lost one of them way too early and I was looking for a new dog to adopt to fill the hole in my heart.
I came across a photo of a small chiweenie named Milo that was being fostered by Celine S Cats and Canines. I fell in love and right after Christmas my wife and drove up from Houston to meet him. It was love at first sight for my wife and he came home with us. He is now with me or my wife 24/7, comfortable on a pillow and covered by a blanket.
The adoption process was super simple and professional and we were able to adopt the best dog in the world. Thank you!
We adopted a pup, Beaux Henry in 2021 and then went back in 2022 to adopt Bentley also a pup. I found that Celine is very compassionate and loving towards all animals and makes sure they are cared for while in her facility. I will always be grateful to her for taking the upmost care of both my pups when they were at their most in need. She make sure all animals in her care get their veterinary needs met and really tries hard for them. Thank you Celine for being so kind to animals in need.
Piglet (Formerly Saucy) Rescued Us: A Heartfelt Thanks to Celine's Cats & Canine Rescue
Adopting our puppy, Piglet (formerly Saucy), from Celine's Cats & Canine Rescue has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the moment we brought her home, Piglet has brought endless joy and love into our lives. Celine's Cats & Canine Rescue was incredibly helpful throughout the entire adoption process, providing us with all the necessary information and support. Their dedication to the well-being of their animals is evident in every interaction. Piglet has become our daily source of laughter and comfort, always ready with a wagging tail and a cuddly snuggle. We are forever grateful to Celine's for bringing Piglet into our lives and for their unwavering commitment to rescuing and rehoming animals in need. If you're considering adopting a pet, we highly recommend reaching out to Celine's—they are truly wonderful.
We adopted Esmeralda (formerly known as Lottie) from Celine back in August 2019. I did not see Celine's property, but she asked reasonable questions of us, did a home visit, and asked a reasonable adoption fee taking into consideration that the spay and vaccinations were either done or prepaid. We absolutely adore Esmeralda, and had no issues at all with Celine. I would not hesitate to adopt from her again based on our experience.
Here is a quick lesson in law, and responsibilities.
Truth is a defense to Slander. Research and see all the evidence out there on who this rescue is. Slander is only applicable if it's NOT TRUE.
And just a lesson in responsibilities for all those blind supporters..... you keep regurgitating this rescues words "come volunteer, help her..." been there, done that.
Noone owes her a thing, not donations, support or education. People tried for years. Got blocked, called "Haters", and attacked.
The only ones that anyone has an obligation to help, intervene, or raise attention for are suffering in this rescues care.
Seriously why do you think everyone should bail out a bad rescue? Does it make you feel good to see the constant drama she brings, animals returned constantly due to her refusal to do basic things (home checks, vet references, etc), animals dying from dog attacks, and wasting money on mulch when in this rescues words " need another 2 ac to cool building for the dogs". Your culpable in donating, and continuing to support this rescue. This is not a new issue, this rescues reputation goes back over 14 years .
Enough of the insanity.
And for those bashing the negative honest feedback provided from a prior adopter, she is being honest, and gave the review because this scammer requested all her friends give a good review. She is 100% correct having a good heart doesnt make Celine a good rescues. She is trash. I don't believe she even has a heart. Too many dead animals to claim that anymore.
I got my forever pup from Celine in 2022! Of all the local dogs, I drove 2.5 hours each way and ended up with a perfect dog nobody else wanted. My dog was already potty trained and crate trainer, which made her transition almost seamless.
Cannot recommend enough, there were some great choices and I’m glad I got the one I did!
Meet Clover
No stars here to explain the disgusting set up this woman has. Maybe the “pile of poop” would be more appropriate. Hot metal crates in a hot area in hot Texas. Deplorable!!! It is so sad that the state will not shut this woman down. Humans need to research more about her. I would love to see how her animals removed from her lack of care.
Hello this is the dog I adopted and she now has a loving home thanks to these people and I couldn't be more thankful!!!
I'd like to preface this by mentioning I am writing this review because Celine texted me on June 13, 2024 saying "Can u write us a positive review and i would love a picture update on the dog u adopted from us." So, here is my honest review.
I met Celine in 2017, when I adopted my then 6.5 year old dachshund chihuahua mix named Skittles. I was in college and looking for my forever dog to come home with me. I found Celine via Petfinder, set up an appointment, and went to see the dogs. I fell in love with Skittles' giant smile and gentle demeanor. I knew she was mine. Unfortunately, I couldn't take her home that moment so I planned to come two days later to pick her up. As I drove away, my stomach was in knots - she was being kept in a metal cage in the garage along with at least 15 other dogs (8 cages, stacked 2 high) without any air conditioning ... in the summer, in Texas. I told Celine I would be back the next day to collect my dog.
That morning, Celine took Skittles to the vet for a teeth cleaning. She falsely claimed Skittles had no medical issues (she was heartworm positive) and failed to have bloodwork or X-rays performed prior to the cleaning - both of which are highly recommended by vets, typically mandatory for heartworm positive animals. When I picked Skittles up, the anesthesia was still wearing off and she had just had 4 teeth pulled.
I promptly took Skittles to my family vet for a checkup, and to start heartworm treatment. Her exam and X-rays came back noting "signs consistent with HW disease, pulmonary arteritis, and inflammatory lung disease" along with "coughing and anorexia." She was 8.75 pounds, much lower than the 10.4 Celine had put on the medical paperwork just days earlier. Luckily, Skittles survived the heartworm treatment, though two separate vet clinics told me they don't believe Skittles would have lived had I not adopted her and started heartworm preventative medications and treatment immediately.
From COPD to IBD to severe anxiety, Skittles had many medical issues that traced back to her time with Celine. She eventually got to a healthy weight for her (~11 pounds) and was a happy and playful girl we loved with all our hearts. Sadly, we lost her last year to Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD, or 'doggie dementia'). Adopting Skittles was the best decision of my life and I will forever be thankful I found her.
Though she may have the best of intentions, Celine put Skittles in harms way many times, and caused permanent medical damage to her body. All of the other dogs were also in harms way given the conditions they were living in (no A/C, in crates in a garage, not on heartworm presentation, etc.). She never once did a home visit with me, became evasive when I was asking questions trying to gather more medical history on Skittles, and didn't take the basic steps to keep Skittles safe and healthy when in her care.
If you cause harm to others, intentions are irrelevant. I strongly believe Celine should not be caring for any animals, period. They are much better off at clean, air-conditioned, well-run shelters with proper veterinary care.
For those who have doubts, I completely understand. I've included photos of the heartworm prevention information Celine received from Fort Worth Animal Care and Control when she adopted Skittles (and then passed along to me), the paperwork where she gave false medical information to the vet and knowingly went against medical advice by not getting X-rays and bloodwork, and the photo of when I first met Skittles (she was very thin!). I also included a collage of other cute pictures of her from the rest of her happy, loved life.
I adopted my dog two and a half years ago from Celine! She has become my best friend and I could not be more thankful. Celine is wonderful and she takes such good care of her animals and loves them all like her own. This is my girl Ellie, she spends her days, sleeping, at the dog park, the pool or flying and traveling the world with me!
We had a great experience with our adoption of Molly. She was a shy and wonderful boxer! They made sure we were aware of her needs and capable of meeting them which made us extreme confident in the organization. Our home was inspected, they made sure our other dog was up to date on shots and well cared for before even considering us for Molly! Love!
We adopted a dog from Celina many years ago. A couple of years in our pups shoulder dislocated when he was running. After an xray it was found that he had two previous fractured shoulders that were never properly fixed (the vet said from a car accident or abuse). Of course we had him taken care of and he’s been living a well cared for life the last 7 or 8 years and going strong.
We adopted a 5 month old puppy from Celine’s cats & canines. Our appointment went as planned and we came home with “Lucy”. Everything was in order , we answered some questions, talked about safety while Lucy sat in our laps. Our adoption included spaying, innoculations, first round, rabies and microchipped. Celine was very knowledgeable & answered all our questions. Lucy also is so lovable and obedient. I highly recommend Celines
Celine helped unite us with our littlest, Mila, aka Ten Pounds of Fury. Celine works tirelessly to find forever homes for her rescues, and we are endlessly grateful to her for facilitating the adoption of our feisty little cuddler!
I adopted a yellow Tabby kitty named Butterscotch and i renamed him Chaz, about 2+ years ago. He is a member of our family now and we Love him. He is spoiled rotten...will only eat fish flavored Sheba CUTS, but I don't mind spoiling him. He is waiting on his table staring at the front door when I get home from work every day. He has gotta be the damn coolest cat in the world, and he's my buddy...
I adopted my Nola over a year ago. Celine brought her to my hotel since I just drove 8 hours to get her! It was great to get a folder with all the information on shots and chip. I am so greatful that Nola was saved from the streets and that there are people like Celine to care for them and help them get forever homes!
We adopted a belgian Shepard and he has been nothing but wonderful. He was skinny when we got him but now he is much happier and healthier
We adopted our elderly dog Rossco from Celine. Excellent pricing, & she brought him to us out of town just so we could meet him. He cried for her when she left.
She had saved him from death row at the pound. It's obvious she does this hard work for the love of the animals. Thank you so much Celine! Our family has never been the same since we adopted Rossco ❤️
We adopted our sweet boy from Celine a year and a half ago. She helped us select him based on the criteria we were looking for. He is the PERFECT dog for us. Celine did a wonderful job of listening, responding, and helping us through the adoption process. She is someone who truly cares about her work, and her devotion shines through.
We adopted Patty after seeing her at the sanctuary last November. She was listed as a catahoula/beagle mix, but we did DNA testing and she has no beagle in her. She is the most loving dog I have ever had and was completely housebroken. The only problem we have with her is she is scared to death of thunderstorms and we have to give her anxiety medicine for it. Overall it was a great experience at the sanctuary.
I adopted a puppy from Celine many years ago - Celine was a responsible adopter. She made sure the puppy had her shots, was spayed, and took a full application on me along with confirming during our meet-up that we would be the best fit for the puppy. Celine checks in periodically to make sure both I and the dog are happy and doing well. Celine also kept my information on file, that should the dog ever go missing, and be traced back to Celine, she would be able to reach out to me. I trust Celine and the care she provides to her animals.
We adopted a 9 month old, she has been a perfect fit with our family and loves her new siblings. The shelter was quick to respond and has checked on her on and off. They had her chipped, her fixed and her shots done.
We adopted from this rescue and we couldn't be more happy with our decision! Within 2 minutes of being there I could very obviously see the love and care Celine puts in to every single animal she has. I'm sure starting a rescue is hard work and very expensive and I know it takes someone with a big heart and passion for animals to keep it going. Our puppy was a parvo survivor, Celine got her the care she needed and didn't let her spread it to the rest of her litter. We received all of the proper vet and adoption paperwork as well as paperwork on her microchip. It seems people are letting personal issues cloud their judgement, this shelter is run by a woman who has a passion for animals and a dream to care for as many as she can!
We adopted this beautiful little girl named Tara back in January. And couldn’t have made a better choice on where to go with Celine and her rescue. Happy to make a difference with choosing from here for our new addition to the family. Make a difference to the community by adopting rescue and not from breeders. This rescue is a wonderful place with wonderful people and wonderful dogs.
My family and I couldn’t be more thankful for the help and guidance in adopting our sweet Marley girl. She was the perfect addition to our family, the best dog to our kids to grow up with, and a bestie to our cat. We have now had Marley apart of our family for 2 years now. We couldn’t imagine life without her, the staff of this adoption/nonprofit go over and beyond still checking in on our girl and love to see all the photos!
Had such a great experience getting my sweet rescue dog. I had been searching many different rescue sites for the right match for me. As soon as I saw Sage I knew she was the one. Celine made it super easy and was so professional throughout the whole experience.
We love our Scamper dog! He is so sweet and loved. We adopted him in 2017 after we lost our silky terrier that we had for 17 1/2 years!
This place is amazing! She brought him to my home because I was working 12hrs a day from home at the time! He is a family member!
Can’t say enough about how she and our sweet boy Scamp filled a hole in our heart!
I adopted my boy Chipper two years ago. Celine took him a brother and their momma in and vetted and cared for them until I found him. He was so fat and happy! Well cared for. He is my world.
We adopted our sweet girl last month and couldn’t be happier. Celine was amazing during the process in helping us find the perfect family dog. We are so thankful for the love and care she gave our puppy. Our puppy is 4 months old and was kennel trained and great on a leash the day she came home. Thank you so much Celine for blessing our family!!!
We adopted 2 brothers of a litter a few years ago and they are the best dogs, cannot imagine life without them. The whole process was great. I would highly recommend them!
Celine invented the word "liar"
She is banned from more shelters in Texas than most Rescues are affiliated with. She is also banned from almost all Veterinarian Clinics in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Beware of all these very most recent positive reviews. It's obvious when there have been so many negative reviews that suddenly in a matter of days all of these positive reviews magically appear that it's a made up sham, but that's Celine for you.
She has polished the art of lying into an art. Do Not believe anything she says or the positive reviews.
We adopted Bailey about 4 years ago and it was a pleasant experience. We knew she belonged to us the moment she came to our house. Celine was gracious enough to come to our house for the meet and greet. It was the best experience! Thank you Celine. We love our Bailey.
Celine has a huge heart and cares so much for these dogs. I have spent time with her and the love and care she has and the desire to match these guys with the right owner so they do have a forever home. It's so nice to see that there are still people who care and truly try to make a difference in this world.
Nothing is ever this rescues fault. And just because you disagree or choose to continue a horrible rescue doesn't mean fake profiles or fake reviews are left. There's photos being posted as well as her own words.
She is dishonest and it appears her followers are too. Sad.
Wonderful person and rescue . Doing the absolute best thy can do . Many fake profiles leaving tons of reviews
This rescue has the biggest heart. They have helped me with not only fosters that I have had but also with finder ways to get abandoned dogs off the street. They take the discarded, the abandoned, the hopeless and give them love. Check them one when you have a chance.
I met Celine several years ago. My German shepherd does not like other dogs at all and she was so kind keeping her separated and well cared for. We now do our grooming with her and Daytona loves getting her bath, brushing and love from her!!!
Celine has been a friend to me and my mom for years now! She does an amazing job with her animals, and is always willing to help an animal in need. She also has experience grooming and has done my dog in the past!
I never knew how cut throat rescues were until I got involved with Celine’s rescue. She is endlessly hounded by a group of women who create fake profiles and rabidly stalk her. Celine takes the animals nobody wants. The animals that are on the death list. I board my dog with her all the time and have never had any issues. I go to her place and see dogs that are disabled that will never find a home. Celine gives them that home. It’s so ironic that these “expert witnesses” care so much for animals but yet they are such ugly acting people. They would rather a dog be euthanized than go to Celine. Anyone who has been to her place knows how hard her and her family work. Dogs are given vet care, fixed, and given monthly maintenance. How can someone who TRULY loves animals condemn such a wonderful rescue. These haters say absolutely horrid things about her and her family and yet she still keeps going. Please bless her rescue
The rescue owner is an animal hoarder, plain and simple. She uses these poor animals for donations to pay her personal bills. I saw her a couple weeks ago at an event and the dogs were outside on pavement in 90 degrees with one leash for all of them to share and she has no common sense so the manager had to make her bring them inside. Her and her daughter sat around eating wing stop for 5 hours until their ride came. If you can’t pay your electric bill, what are you doing ordering door dash?
Please do your research. Get on Facebook and search this rescue. Search the owner of this rescue Celine Broecker. Search Tumbleweed Justice For Tumbleweed. Search Reddit. Search Google. There are podcasts about her. You'll find out EVERYTHING you need to know. She's asking everyone to give 5 star reviews. And having everyone flag the one star reviews. This is what she does. She blocks the truth. Please just ask.yourself if this is such a good rescue why she is DNA/DNR throughout ALL OF TEXAS!!! I'm sure this review will be gone within the hour. But, please do your research.
Someone just sent me a message from a friend of Celine's that she has sent out a mass message on Facebook asking everyone to give her a 5 star review. Ask yourself this, if she was a legitimate rescue that actually did good for the animals would she need to lie like this?
Look at the dates of all the most recent 5 star reviews. Then go back and look at all the reviews from the beginning. There's your answer as to why she went from a legitimate 2 star rescue. To a 5 star rescue.
If you have to lie and deceive to get donations. You're not in for the animals.
Celine has k!lled so many animals. If you search fb, look for a dog named Chico. A dog she had for 2 days before killing because he didn't get along with her personal dog. Look for the posts about Amy, a woman she had live with her. See the real photos of the dogs stacked in crates in a hot shed with no water.
All the people giving her 5 star reviews don't even live in Texas.
Go to her rescue page. Look at the amount of bogus fundraisers she has. Wanting money for landscaping?
Look at how she wanted $12,000 for a Pyrenees puppy but, then turned around and said the puppy isn't sick.
Look at how she claimed a puppy suffered ab@se by having tape wrapped around his muzzle to get donations, but it turned out to be slobber.
It's all about the money. And why? Because her and her boyfriend don't work.
Just do your research. These dogs are sitting in a hot shed that yesterday she said herself was over 100°
Ask yourself why she has a fundraiser going for $7000 for lawyers fees, but can't afford 2 window unit air conditioners for the dogs sitting crated in a hot shed.
This isn't rescue! If you don't believe me, check out her personal or rescue Facebook page. The proof is right there.
Celine is now claiming her "lawyer" is going to find the ip addresses of all the negative reviews. The fact that people actual believe this is laughable. Detectives can get this information, but considering this isn't an episode on ID that's not going to happen.
Celine is a kind and compassionate human with a lot of love to give and she pours all of it into her rescue. It’s not fancy, it doesn’t need to be. They have everything they need and plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
I would recommend her rescue to anyone.
Hi to those that help and care about the animals that are on death row or helping family’s in dire straights that need help for their pets due to unfortunate circumstances.
I want you to know that Celine who oversees Celine’s Cats and Canines has worked so hard to provide a haven for so many animals that deserve to live out their lives loved and cared for.
She is incredible and tireless at supporting this non-profit and I hope you will support it too!
Thank you Celine!
Lisa Sutter
This rescue unfortunately uses animals to collect money for personal usage. She just needs to stop. She says she cries daily . She certainly does not need the responsibility of any animals
Celine is great! She rescued the best dog ever, my Macaroni! Thank you, Celine! She also rehomed 2 dogs that a family member could not care for. She took them in and helped them without question.
I think it’s clear some people have a weird vendetta against her but I’m not sure why. She has helped so many animals I’m not sure how you could say anything negative. If anything she tries to help too much but that’s just who she is.
Celine works tirelessly for the animals in her care. She works hard to give them the very best that she can, she is constantly striving to give them better. Celine rescues big dogs that no one else would touch with a 10 foot pole, she is a sensitive kind individual full of love in her heart.❤️
We took our 4 dogs to get groomed! We were worried about one of the Danes due to her being nervous around people she doesn't know. She took to them so well! All our dogs loved getting groomed! We will be bringing them back again.
Don't believe any negative fake reviews, I've been to her rescue in person and shes completely committed to her dogs and one of few that doesn't cherry pick puppies only, takes hard cases, and never euthanizes unless medically required.
We adopted the best dog ever from cecline, she takes great care of her, she works so hard to take care of these animals and it shows!! She has a heart the size of yexas, and Bruce the dog we git from her is so well behaved I can't believe he came from a rescue. So much love for this rescue!!
I have visited this Rescue multiple times to drop off donations and to visit the animals. They are always clean and well cared for. They do the best they can on limited resources and are striving to do better w more support.
We found Celine several years ago and got an amazing dog from her. Dog was well groomed for being a Pyrenees mix and well taken care of. Over the years Celine has helped a lot of people find great pets and we have remained in contact after all these years.
CAUTION! STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM this SICKO! Celine is a deadbeat Mom, a deadbeat wannabe rescuer, steals the donations meant for the dogs. Celine is not well in the head. If you want to help her take her to shrink. DON'T GIVE A DIME TO THIS WEIRDO! No decent attorney would touch this with a 10 foot pole. Read this.
I have been a supporter of Celine’s rescue for the last couple years. Her rescue isn’t fancy, but that goes to show that she puts all donations into the caring of the dogs such as shelter, quality food, vet care, etc. Celine always puts the dogs needs before her needs, and goes over and beyond to take in dogs that are on the line to be euthanize even when she is at capacity. If your heart is searching to adopt a dog that has been well taken care of, Celine’s rescue is highly recommended! I want to say for all the haters on Celine’s rescue if you have not physically been to her rescue and taking a tour, then it’s best you find something else to do with your time rather than spread rumors that she’s a scammer that her dogs are in poor condition. It’s time to move on!! I’m sure if you wanted to see the receipts of where the money that is donated she would be more than welcome share with you. Unless you know proven facts it’s best to find something else to do with your time!
Agnes11375 and Bettymc33 you two have got a real problem. These dogs don’t deserve to be stuck in a rescue. They deserve loving homes and your petty low life selves are nothing but preventing that. You’re not hurting Celine, your hurting the dogs. Wow! What great people you are in trying to help!!
Your intelligence shines through to prove what kind of people you are. To make fun of someone who has Asperger’s Syndrome…are you kidding me?! I have been in rescue for many years pouring sweat into saving lives and have never come across the most heartless people in my history of doing this! Who the heck do you two think you are and all your little low life friends. Get a life!
For those you who read this post Celine has been harassed for a couple years by the same slanderous people. They even go over and above and show up at her adoption events to harass her. Please instead of listening to these low life people go out to her rescue for yourself before you make a decision whether to adopt from her. The Lord will deal with these people who continue to slander those who do good in this world.
Agnes11375 and Bettymc33 with all your friends it is apparent that your life is so exciting that you sit and monitor Celine’s reviews. No one needs to know you personally because you clearly show yourself here.
I believe in supporting responsible legitimate rescues but I do take time to research carefully before giving money. After doing some research I don’t understand how this place hasn’t been shut down. The more I look the more wrongs I find here. Always asking for large amounts of money yet seeing no progress made in improving the animals living conditions or proper medical care. What legitimate rescues puts dogs in crates in a hot garage with little socialization for them. This isn’t acceptable. I don’t see copies of bills and receipts of where and how money is being spent. Recently I saw where dog food was donated to this place but due to lack of storage a local business that was the rescues friend took in some of the dog food and stored in their freezer but low and behold they had a hugely discounted sale of this dog food to the public. This sealed the deal for me, that food was for the dogs not personal gain. Folks I work hard for my money and I can’t afford the responsibility that comes with having a dog right now so I like to help legitimate rescues when I can. It took me a mere 15 minutes to figure out this place is not for the animals best interest but a place that uses innocent animals as personal financial gain. This place really needs to be investigated by the authorities.
I adopted my little chihuahua from Celine and although she is elderly, my little dog had the best of veterinary care and is still a healthy older dog thanks to the excellent care provided by Celine. I am appalled at the personal and ugly lies that I see posted about her. The group of women doing this are not only blatant liars, but have ugly souls to spread such garbage. I strongly suggest to the administrators of this page to remove their hateful reviews and not allow these dishonest women to use your forum to spread their slander. Thank you Celine for your honesty, sacrifice and hard work. We know the truth and support you 100%.
I have had the privilege of volunteering at this rescue. The animals are taken care of, fully vetted, and truly loved.
I have had the pleasure of fostering many dogs while seeking the best homes for each animal. I have had the joy of receiving updates on many who found amazing homes.
Unfortunately Celine, like many other rescues, continue to have people bashing her with untrue statements.
Once you go check out the rescue and see that nothing they say is true, they start attacking you personally.
I will continue to support this rescue and continue to help animals in need. The animals depend on donations for their daily and annual needs.
Please come see for yourself before you believe such.
Celine's cats and canines is a scam.
She begs for donations daily to pay for her own expenses,dogs often die in her care.
They live in crates in a building,she claims she cleanes the water buckets but they have green algae in them, she admitted she only dumps and refills she doesn't properly clean anything.
She abuses clients dogs and her dogs she "rescues".
She is on almost every shelter in the area marked as DNR/DNA. The only shelter she can pull from is wise county because her and the mayor scammed a pet food company and her parents are friends with the sheriff.
She gets most of the dogs from Facebook groups and Craigslist that are free.
Celine runs a legitimate awesome rescue with limited support. I have been to her property on more than one occasion and can tell you these dogs have a great life with plenty of group playtime with constant supervision. This is a woman with Autism who does everything in her power to save as many animals as possible. Celine and her husband have placed hundreds of dogs, cats, horses, and goats and will spend her personal money from her other job on her rescue. I don’t know why these haters insist on making crap up. These dogs are not living in kennels 24/7, they are constantly rotated throughout the day and spend the majority of the day playing in two separate extremely large fenced in areas on the property. Stop harassing Celine. If these people are so concerned then they should come volunteer and help out instead of working to keep her rescue from adopters.
This is not a true rescue. She allows animals to suffer and die, after raising money to save them. She uses the donations for her own personal bills. She keeps special needs dogs that she can’t care for when she has experienced rescues offering to help. Find a real rescue to donate, one that cares about the animals and doesn’t abuse them.
This is a scammer. Do not donate to this so called rescue. They mistreat the animals and misuse the funds. They even scammed fresh pet and gave food donated to them to a feed store to sell.
So thankful to Celine and her dog expertise! After talking to our family, she helped us find the perfect addition that not only walks well on a leash but is really well behaved.
Celine S Cats and Canines Rescue is a Fraud and a Hoarder. She Only uses Dogs to get Money to Support HERSELF and her Deadbeat Boyfriend. She asks her Followers to Pay Half of the Electric, the Truck payment, Half of the Cell Phone. Half of Everything. This Rescue Begs and Begs and Begs Every day for Donations, This Rescue will get HATEFUL on her post on Facebook if the Rescue does Not receive the Money. The Rescue even had a Fundraiser to get Donations so she could get IVF Treatments so she could have a Baby. This Rescue Never has Money to Buy Food for the Animals, cause she's spending the money on PERSONAL THINGS for Herself. The Animals live in Horrific Conditions. She KILLED MORE Dogs than she has Saved. This Rescue uses her Autism as an Excuse and a Feel Bad for Her post to get Money. When Celine Adopts a dog to someone, she Won't give the Adopter the Proper Paperwork of the Adoption Agreement. A friend told me that who adopted a dog from this Rescue. Also, an Animal Rescue is supposed to have at least 3 Board Members and there is ONLY 2, the Rescue Herself and her Mother. This Rescue is located in Azle, TX Not Haslet. This Rescue NEEDS to be SHUT DOWN ASAP!!

Yes I’ve been to her rescue. Yes I’ve dealt with her personally. She takes on way more than she can handle. She used donations to fund her Christmas for her son and random men. She left dogs in her car in 30 degree weather alone all night. Car got towed and she wanted donations to get it out. Didn’t even care that there was dogs left in it. Might I add it was at a random guys apt she was trying to hook up with. She bought him jewelry with donations. When I told her it was inappropriate she abandoned foster dogs at my house which I then vetted and found homes for. I tried to help her as well as others and she didn’t want to listen. She is overwhelmed yet keeps getting more dogs. If she is so great- why is she banned from so many shelters? She has others lie and pull dogs for her. So many have died in her care and y’all keep handing her more to kill. Many have had owners and she either killed them or adopted them out without checking for chip or finding owners. She gets dogs off the street illegally and begs for money then kills them. Why do you all support her????
I don’t work in animal rescue directly. I follow and support a couple of different rescues around the country. I came across Celine S Cat’s and Canines accidently. I randomly received a private message on Facebook by an individual seeking donations for their rescue. In the body of the message they made some negative statements about Celine and her car of some of the dogs she had in her rescues custody. I believe very little of what I read on social media, so I chose to research Celine and her rescue. I found a very caring person with impeccable vet, local animal and customer references. She cares very deeply for the animals in her care. She puts the animals first, some times to her own demise. She stands in the gap for her animals, providing them love, clean shelter, medical care and food when others have cast them aside. It's too bad some in the rescue community seem attack her for no reason at all. They send spies, spread lies and bully her for no reason and it’s hard to understand why? The only person it really hurts is the animals she is trying to provide a better life for.
Five years ago we adopted our boxer, Rosie (then Gypsy), from Celine’s Cats and Canines. Celine is so loving and caring of her rescues. She makes sure that they go to good homes. Rosie came to us clean, happy, loved and well taken care of. Thank you Celine!

This is not rescue that benefits dogs. It appears to be a hoarding situation. Owner and her fiancé have over 50 dogs to care for.. Dogs live in a crate in a shed or outside in a kennel in the weather elements of Texas. The issue is the owner claims to make minimum at her fast food job. This is not enough to pay her personal commitments. Evidently the donations are a paycheck to finance her lifestyle. She is now asking donation money for the mortgage payment, money to fix the shed, money to fix her vehicle, money for vet care for her personal pets, money for personal credit cards and the list goes on. Now with a baby on the way her abilities are limited. She just needs to stop, this has been going on for years and people need to stop encouraging her hoarding behavior.
We live in Oregon and saw a picture of a dog named Ghost on rescue me. I just knew he was meant to be ours. I reached out to Celine and asked if she adopted out of state. Within minutes I received a response of yes. Originally we were going to drive to Texas to pick him up but with our farm responsibilities at the time and the cost of fuel we realized this was not going to be manageable. I called Celine and asked her if she knew of any transport companies who came to Oregon. Again, Celine came through very quickly and said she found a transport leaving within the week and she would get Ghost on it. She did all the paperwork, the vetting, everything required to make this happen for us. She really went above and beyond for us and for Ghost to be able to come and live on 11 acres and have a great life with us. We will forever be grateful to her as we now have our “Ghostbuster” and he is living his very best life!
This rescue should be shut down. The dogs are not properly vetted and they end up with hookworm as of recently. Yes, puppies have died from parvo because advice from a veterinarian was not taken seriously and get them proper care. It’s the animals that suffer! Rescue is on every DNA/DNR list at every North Texas Animal Shelter because of all the dogs and cats that have DIED painful deaths under her care. Owner recently beat a dog she only had for 2 days on the head over 20 times because she didn’t give him time to decompress and he got into a minor scuffle with another dog. She keeps dogs outside 24/7 without proper protection or in a shed locked in cages stacked on top of each other. She admitted to not doing home checks on new adopters and gets mad when one of the dogs are returned. If another rescue tries to help with advice she gets mad and just blocks them. She is also not transparent and doesn’t show statements on credit card on what the funds are spent on. People should know where their donations at spent. She even made a fundraiser thru her rescue on her IVF treatment. Seems that is so illegal and not what your organization should be supporting. Please look into this! Thank you.
The woman who runs this so called rescue has been responsible for the death of numerous animals. She kills dogs because she can't control them. She's thrown small senior dogs into a dumpster because her own personal dog killed him. Shes also had dogs in her care die of drowning. All the dogs in her care live in a shed in small crates. She has no money but continues to take in more and more animals which suffer in her care.
There is a whole Facebook community called "Tumbleweed Justice For Tumbleweed" with over 100,000 followers that have been speaking out about this woman's cruelty.
I would also like to point out this woman scams money off the general public. She received over $100,000 in grants for 2022 and what did she do with that money? Got IVF. This money was supposed to be used towards the poor animals in her care. So sad that rescues can scam like this.
I network shelter and abandoned dogs as a hobby. I follow and support many different rescues. I think it's a shame that this one has been targeted with all the bad reviews. From what I can see, the only fault Celine has is that she cares too much. She can't say no to an abandoned animal. This has resulted in being overextended at times which is the case with many rescues. The higher the volume, the greater the needs. She isn't afraid to ask for help for these babies and that's ok. She hasn't always received the help she needed, but she kept on going. There have been complaints about Parvo. Well, it is common in most settings with so many off the streets. Look at the shelters! I've seen many dogs saved by Celine and probably Cats. I don't follow Cat rescue as closely so I haven't really paid attention to that. From what I can see, Celine does the very best with the resources she has. It makes me sad to see the negative out there hindering the good that could come to the animals in this rescue. I'm hoping for more support instead of criticism for the babies!
This poor excuse for a rescue, is actually a hoarder, a manipulator who preys on people and animals alike. Just got a dog (after saying she was closing intake due to NO MONEY for food and medical) took in 6 dogs within last week. Just killed a rescue dog that she sjould NEVER have pulled to begin with. She just killed the pulled bullie due to her inexperience, allowing this dog ZERO opportunity to decompress, test his behavior with other animals that led to a dog fight, where she admits to beating the rescue dog with a poop scooper. She is the biggest SCAMMER ever
She does ZERO home checks & openly admits it. She has no morals and is selfish.
