My Nonprofit Reviews

I rescue and pull dogs as an individual from horrible situations and euthanasia lists in rural southern counties. This takes alot of passion, time and persistence in difficult situations and extremely heartbreaking. I've had my rescues die in my arms from the result of their previous life because they weren't rescued soon enough. I foster several months to get these fur rescues good homes and in a few separate desperate situations I networked them to CPR. On the face front, they seem so compassionate and so eager to help these dogs but they are extremely manipulative behind the scenes and serve their special interest which is making filthy lucre off flipping dogs from rural TN and transporting them up to northern states to make quick profit often times $500+ a dog. Their cost of transit nor vetting is no where near what they charge adopters. Just this last year, because they are 501(c)(3) (Tax Exception) their Form 990 and annual returns are open to public inspection. Their founder is a skilled CPA. They had a revenue of over $1,100,000 and they often have nothing to little in cost for these dogs oftentimes they leave on the next available transport which is weekly. Even after this annual report, they have the audacity to ask for donations. (I point out, I love all the dogs I rescue with every bit of my heart because I've nourished them back to health and try to find them amazing homes) so just imagine when you've networked your fur family babies into a "compassionate rescue" and you never hear anything about them ever again. Absolutely no updates on my kids that I put so much love and time into, no compensations (ethical rescues ALWAYS compensate fosters, whether it be in dog food, their clothing, shampoo, medicine, etc) absolute cut off from all CPR representatives and even their founder just because I was inquiring about the homes where my rescues were adopted to. No pictures, no communication and blocked by them ALL. (They are well known to avoid and do this with anyone who isn't waving money in their face to adopt "their" dogs.) Meanwhile, all their paid representatives share these amazing stories of how their adopters reach out to them showing them loving photos of their new fur babies and how grateful they are that CPR helped them. I soon found out they made over $7,000 on just my rescues alone and had them in their care just under two weeks. I've networked dogs into several rescues and CPR is by far the most deceitful and non-transparent 501(c)(3) I've come across. They are truly abusing the dog shortage in the north and using a loop hole in the rural south of homeless and over bred dogs to profit gains that are no where near what the costs of doing this is. Their hearts are not in these dogs, but cashing in on the adorableness of puppies and oftentimes made up sad stories that are intentionally designed to sell them. They are one of the abundance of dirty rescues out there and they need to be thoroughly investigated.
