My Nonprofit Reviews

The conditions at this facility are beyond deplorable. The air reeks of urine. There is no insulation in the walls, so the building is subject to temperature extremes. There is a massive rodent infestation. The facility is overcrowded and understaffed. Dogs spend their days in crates or small kennels, often trapped with their own excrement. Every dog has diarrhea due to the organization’s failure to treat parasitism. The rescue doesn’t provide adequate veterinary care for the dogs and instead chooses to purchase medicines from online, overseas pharmacies. The founder directs staff to administer the medicines at her whim instead of having the animals taken to see a vet for proper care.

The organization tells visiting foster families and potential adopters that they may not enter the facility because of insurance issues or says that visits interfere with their rehabilitation process. It is more likely that they do not allow anyone because the conditions are absolutely heart breaking. Check out the the images attached to this review. I wish I could add more than four images because there are hundreds.

The worst part of all of this is that Big Fluffy Dog Rescue pretends to be one of the very best animal rescues in the southern United States. The sad reality is that they are from even being basically decent to the dogs in the care. When dogs leave this facility, they do so without having all of their medical needs met while the organization has the audacity to claim that they have. They then charge adopters a $500 to $600 dollar adoption fee and tell them that all medical concerns have been treated and three times the adoption fee is invested into medical treatment for each dog before the dog is made available for adoption.

I think the saddest thing about all of this is that the founder of this rescue will continue to raise funds via Facebook from well intentioned dog lovers who will likely never know what atrocities their donations enable. It’s absolutely predatory to play with heart strings to procure funding while utterly failing the dogs.
