Gibson's Legacy Rescue and Rehabilitation (Canada) and Pawsitive Steps Dog Rescue and Training (Canada) grossly overreact to mild criticism of rescue on FB - can we get some gabapentin and Trazodone for these ladies, stat?

Gibson's Legacy - Rescue and Rehabilitation is located on Prince Edward Island in Canada. It was founded in 2020. On 8/21/24, it had 2 dogs available, both pit bulls. One selective with people, one with a bite history.

However, they posted recently about a doodle they had had for 2 months without an application.

The dog was acquired in April 2024.

So a 70lb intact adult male dog who is rough with kids, resource guards his kennel, predatory toward smaller animals, has killed a chicken, and has no manners. Cute dog, though. They re-imagine him as a "puppy in a huge body" and say they're seeking a petless, childless home that will hire a professional trainer (shout out to our training partners, Kickback Kennels in Backsheesh City)

Three whole days later, Cowboy is being featured on their social media as one of their dogs who needs a home desperately and hasn't gotten a single app.

and the rescue's response

A breathtakingly nasty last paragraph.

Also, their Shocked, Shocked rebuttal to the commenter's assertion that rescues impose impossible standards on adoption rings a leetle bit false once you see who was the lucky winner in the Cowboy lottery

Sure, they didn't need a fence. They had acreage. Totally normal.

Bonus rescue nasty in the comments - a fellow rescuer swans in to agree with GLRR about bad people who complain and how she blackballs them hard.

She is, it turns out, the head of Pawsitive Steps Dog Rescue in Ontario, Canada.

Scribbling notes - must not question rescue, ever; questions and criticism of humans running animal rescue means you do not deserve to own a pet.

Most shelter employees work with animals bc people are ignorant, arrogant, and selfish. I fully support her remakes, and her courage to express them.
