July 10, 2000 - Victoria King was contacted and
permission gladly given to post the informaton concerning her association
with LBOH and the dog taken from her - and the fact that they collect dogs
in "bunches" - at one time driving all over the States to pick them up
- where have those dogs gone?

I belong to a rescue list server in texas and
this came over our list today which you should be aware of as I know lots
of you do ship all over.
"Here's the info from Victoria King in Florida
about her experience with them:
>Sadly I have been forced to remove two of our
Hero's Waggin Train
>listers and I would ask that you make a note
of it. Bev Greenwood and Marci Huval (Lil Bit O Heaven)
>from Ovett, Mississipi will no longer be on
the list. A dog that was on a
>transport run from Kansas City to Orlando (coming
to me) has been
>permanently delayed in transit. Without warning,
once the dog was in their
>home, these two listers informed me that she
would not be continuing her
>journey to Florida as they planned to keep her
for themselves. Seems they
>were just waiting to see if she would fit in
with their dogs. The dog in
>question was to have become a personal member
of my family which of course
>will not now happen. I question the ethics of
listers who would do this and
>I will not allow them to remain on my list where
they may well do something
>similar to others.
Here's a little more info:
> To the best of our knowledge these two women
have now taken my dog,
> stolen' two crates and a computer program,
and brought to their 'rescue'
> over 60 or 70 dogs in the last four months
from all over the place. That
> figure may well be higher. To the best of our
knowlege although they
> constantly offer to take dogs (in quantities
of as many as 25 from one
> shelter) no one has ever seen them asking for
help to get a dog to a new
> home.
> What happens to the dogs they get is anyone's
guess at this point.
> We have not been able to establish a proper
address for them, nor has anyone
> been allowed to go to their property as far
as I am aware. Rural
> Mississippi is NOT the ideal place for placing
dogs and one can only
> speculate why they are not taking the hundreds
of dogs in MS shelters rather
> than driving all over the place collecting
dogs from other states.
> I would be Extremely wary of them.
> They may of course be perfectly legitimate
- but I have more red flags in my
> mind than a golf course!
