The woman with the puppy didn't keep him for long either, from what I saw via her WhatsApp and IG posts. She got another puppy after he outgrew the puppy phase and she never posted about him again, not even a tiny glimpse. My blood is boiling now.I don't know what the rules are for NGOs here, must be lucrative since every other person has been opening one or several, including the Sugar-y ex-organiser. An infrequent co-exhibitor is definitely a scammer in the name of an NGO.
I've had some bad encounters with the local animal ones. Some good ones too, with SPCA and PFA, but bad with other 'private' ones. One woman tried to scam us into vaccinating and taking care of all the medical needs of a "street puppy that she'd rescued" and wanted to keep for herself, and also giving her lifetime access to my home if we'd got to keep the dog. Threatened to get me blacklisted with the local rescues when I wouldn't pay up anyway. Similar stuff from others. That was one reason we were so grateful when dad's friend gifted us the Pup.
One took the cake though. One night I'd posted about some art project on IG. Got an alert about a message request from a local rescue that I knew were in contact/friends with my narc ex-boss (she hated dogs, hated that I loved my dog who had just passed, and she was very angry because I was rebuffing her attempts to make me rejoin her team). The message basically told me to "stop wasting my money on crappy terrible art that no one wants to look at, when so many animals need rescuing". They then quickly deleted it and blocked me. I was planning to go commercial at the time and was being bombarded with negativity on top of being depressed and in the mood for self-offing. So it was a lovely message to receive
Big, small, most charities seem to be just about the money
I can easily see Smegs sending nasty messages like that. She'd do it just for fun.
P.s. The woman with the puppy didn't keep him for long either, from what I saw via her WhatsApp and IG posts. She got another puppy after he outgrew the puppy phase and she never posted about him again, not even a tiny glimpse. My blood is boiling now.
People like this make me sick! I've met them a few times and all they want is the "baby" phase. They don't bother to properly train their puppy, so that when they get sick of them and pass them on the new owner finds it doubly difficult - they have rn older pup who has suddenly been dumped in a new environment and doesn't know what has happened to them, and may be frightened (and are certainly confused). The dog then misbehaves (because it doesn't know any different and also has no idea who these new people are. Because the pup is older (typically "teenage" when they become very mischievous/ disobedient anyway because of hormones) and because the window for easy training has passed, the new owner has a harder job their hands - and often the pup gets passed on again. And again. And again. An agin. And with every new environment it gets more and moe distressed because there has been no consistency in its life, and different people expect different things of it, and use different words for commands. And some people shout and smack, and the dog gets frightened (and a frightened dog is more likely to snap).
Eventually so many of these poor dogs end up dumped or euthanised because no-one has taken the time to build a relationship with them and teach them how to be good dogs. They've never found anyone prepared to let them learn how to love and their lives are spent in lonely misery.
Meanwhile their first owner has got another "cute" puppy. Maybe a series of "cute" puppies, and this horrible saga has happened to every one of them
ANIMALS ARE NOT DISPOSABLE!
They are living, breathing, sentient creatures with deep emotional lives and God loves them. Treat them with respect. If you don't want to take care of them properly - don't get them.

the camera angles make him look more idiotic than usual
what is fallon playing at? why have this dribbling fool on the show? get him on a show that makes him answer proper questions…, for example- how did you secure a visa you drug addled clown ?
