Severe neglect and abuse at this animal nonprofit. All animals were confiscated. This place was a scam. Neighbors heard him beating animals on a regular basis . This guy needs to rot in hell.
PLEASE DO NOT DONATE!!! ASPCA has just rescued 41 dogs living in deplorable conditions, not to mention the abusive nature of how these animals were treated. If I could, I would give them ZERO stars!!! This man should be confined to jail cell and how about he experience what those helpless dogs felt! It's inhumane and he should not be allowed to open another "rescue" operation. I hope that they are able to save them all and that they go to loving homes. Thanks ASPCA!!
DO NOT DONATE. Not only was the owner charged July 19 with animal abuse (no food, water, animals with broken legs and others had to be euthanized) but he's done this before in 2010. This is one sick person
Over 40 dogs taken from animal rescue group in Madison; Owner charged
MADISON, Tenn. (WKRN) – More than 40 dogs were removed from an animal rescue group Tuesday and are now being taken to a temporary shelter where they will receive medical care.
The dogs were taken from Happy Endings Animal Rescue (HEAR), after police executed a warrant earlier in the day for the removal of the dogs.
According to a release from American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the seizure is the result of “numerous public complaints about conditions at HEAR, which has been operating for 19 years.”

David Gosselin, the owner and operator of the rescue, is charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty.
According to a Metro affidavit, Gosselin has been subject to numerous contacts with Metro Animal Control based on complaints dating back to 2009. Some of the complaints allege he “routinely failed to provide basic shelter, food, water, and veterinary care to the dogs he keeps on his property.”
Gosselin has been cited for companion animal hoarding as recently as 2014 by Metro Animal Control.
On May 9, MACC officers were called to Gosselin’s property in response to accusations of a large number of dogs living in deplorable conditions.
When they arrived, officers found four dogs in the front yard that appeared underweight and with hair loss.
Officers also visited the property as recently as Sunday and on May 23 and June 24.
ASPCA and Metro Animal Care assisted in the removal of the dogs Tuesday.
The rescued dogs include Chow, pit bull, shepherd mixes and other medium to large breed canines.
“We are glad to have the expertise and experience that the ASPCA brings to this case,” said Rebecca Morris spokesperson for Metro Animal Care and Control. “We are pleased that the animals will be receiving the necessary medical care and attention they deserve.”
The dogs are being held at a temporary location where they will receive medical care.
This man should be treated the way he treated his dogs. Please never donate to nonprofits that you have not done your homework on. He has federal charges against him at this time. This is the main story on the news July 19, 2016.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has removed 41 dogs from the Happy Endings Animal Rescue in Madison.
The owner of the self-described no-kill rescue was arrested on animal cruelty charges and Metro Animal Care and Control requested removal of the dogs. HEAR has been operating for 19 years and the ASPCA says the seizure comes in the wake of "numerous public complaints."
According to ASPCA, the dogs were found living in feces and filth inside and overcrowded house and outdoor kennels. One room alone held 22 dogs with feces covering the floor. Some did not have access to food or water, others were suffering from medical issues and some were not spayed or neutered.
ASPCA Investigations Director Kathryn Destreza stated “This facility claimed to be a safe place for animals, but the truth is these dogs were suffering greatly, both physically and mentally."
The dogs seized were Chow, Pit Bull, Shepherd mixes and other medium to large breeds. They will be taken to a temporary shelter to receive medical treatment.
I have volunteered at this Rescue and met Cody, he has a compassion towards the dogs he cares for. They all get plenty of food and water and play time. When I see negative write-ups about his organization I asked him about it. He says that when people don't qualify to adopt a dog because their fence doesn't meet their qualifications, some people lash out with negative responses and try to destroy our reputation. People just have to meet Cody and see the dogs and make your own judgement. For me, his Rescue is one of the top Animal Rescues in Nashville.

This is one crazy lady. She notified this Rescue of wanting to adopt a dog. Through our screening process found out her fencing wasn't up to code and offered some recomendations to modify the fence. She came back by saying she would chain the dog to a tree to keep it in the yard. I turned her down for adoption. I have also contacted other Rescues to not adopt to this woman. Her name is Rebecca Lucianno and she lives in Fairview, TN. This woman is crazy. If your a rescue or shelter and she contacts you, ignore this woman. Any dog adopted to this woman could end up dead or live a life on a chain tied to a tree.
