I have adopted two dogs from this rescue: one in 2014 and one in 2020. The best decisions I have ever made. My second rescue was a senior dog who was blind and had been used for breeding her entire life before being thrown away. Sandra rescued her. It was a big adjustment for me. I’m so thankful to Diamond’s founder, Sandra Blair Allman, for her help and support. I called her a lot for advice and moral support! This is how I came to know Sandra and began to volunteer for Diamonds. I help transport dogs to the vet, to boarding facilities, to go to sites to rescue, and to get on transport to go to their forever homes. I believe in Sandra and her rescue 100%. I am thankful to have the opportunity to volunteer for Diamonds and now consider Sandra a wonderful friend. She has had her rescue for 17-18 years now and is 75 years old. This is her mission in life. She does a wonderful service for abandoned, sick, abused, injured, and surrendered animals. She goes the extra mile to treat animals no matter what: heartworms, gunshot wounds, a dog born blind, abscesses, you name it. She will do whatever it takes to restore health and find homes for her rescues. I’m proud to help with this upstanding organization as I love animals. I’m so thankful for people like Sandra.
I fostered for this rescue from 2016 to 2020 and was vice chair from 2018 to 2020 when I ended my relationship with the rescue. My reasons for ending my relationship include but is not limited to the President sending dogs on transport knowing that they had been directly exposed to parvo, misuse of donations and funds, misrepresentation of animals to other rescues which put others in danger of being bitten, and the animal being put to sleep, hoarding of animals, neglecting the needs of animals already in the rescue while taking in more and more animals, keeping dogs from their rightful owners, stealing dogs, sending out fundraising emails for dogs that are not in the rescues possession, and lying to supporters and sponsors.
