My Name is Jasmine.

You don't have all the facts and it's pathetic that you would judge before you do! So mean with your words! How much did you donate to no kill shelters this year? How many hours did you volunteer? How much do you think it takes to care for a mother dog with 9 sick puppies? Right now the bill is at $1400 for the ones that actually survived. Here is the real story: The mother, Sapphire, and her pups were dumped at a kill shelter which euthanizes in 24-72 hours. Two rescue groups networked for her 3 weeks trying to find a foster home for her. No one stepped up and the rescue had no room. Every facility they had was full. In the time they were trying to find a foster home, the pups got sick. They got six that could be treated to the vet but one passed and one is still hospitalized. The bill is currently at $1400 and climbing and, yes, they have to pay for that. They were 2 days from a foster home but when the hate mail and calls started coming in, the shelter where she had been dumped put her down. This was the thanks they got for allowing the mother to stay in their shelter for three weeks when she would have been put down after only 3 days. They are foster based which means they need foster homes to care for the majority of our animals. Last year they save 475 dogs (including 150 adults) from euthanasia. Unfortunately, the hate that was delivered to the shelter holding Sapphire got the message. They will never again allow a dog to remain in their shelter for more than the policy allows (24-72 hours). They will never again work with them to hold off on euthanasia for fear of receiving the threating calls. Why would they? I can only ask for one thing from everyone reading this. If you are ready to send hate mail or calls, please take that energy and use it to help an animal who is about to lose their life because of the limited resources of a non-profit funded solely on donations. Take that message of hate and anger and turn it into a donation to help a non-profit that tries to save the lives of as many animals as possible. Considering the number of people who have sent hate mail, blown up their Facebook page, and called to threaten them, there is a lot of passion out there to save discarded animals. That passion could amount to thousands of dollars and the ability to save hundreds of animals slated for death in kill shelters. Find a no kill shelter in your area and donate or volunteer all that passion you have for saving animals!

You have made a great point. We hope that others will read your comment and think differently on how they can help, rather than just complaining. Thank you for sharing and doing all you can. Nearly all of our animals are rescued.

Ignorant Person! Yeah, you.

What is disgusting is the number of people who have so much passion and yet are so gullible that they believe everything they read.

The response supposedly telling the "truth" about what happened to Sapphire and her pets makes absolutely no sense. A Different Breed's own website states that they started as foster based but grew so much, they purchased a 12 acre tract of land where most of their animals are now housed. Then why the problem in finding a foster home for Sapphire and her babies?

Question do you live in or near east or central Texas? If you do where were you when this mom and puppies needed rescue? I have asked many question and have came to the conclusion that is basically a witch hunt and at least they stepped up to try and help some desperately ill puppies. From everything I can find, until this story broke there was nothing but glowing reviews, now the rescues and others should be asking. WHERE WAS I, WHI DIDN'T I STEP IN THE 3 WEEKS THAT THE SHELTER BEGGED FOR HELP, I'D SAY THAT THEY ARE NO KIND OF A RESCUE!

I agree. These are hard working people who had to make a painful decision after spending weeks trying to find a foster home for the mom. Where were all these people when Sapphire needed their help?

Thank you for posting this. I did call the shelter and got the real story. Every one of these haters should do that before making judgements.

Read something on Facebook and believed it without checking the facts. For shame!

While I don't know the details of why you were blocked, I wouldn't be surprised if it had anything to do with the death threats and other hate that was coming into the office. I would block you too! If you care, start your own rescue and save every animal that you can. If you can't do that, volunteer. But, be prepared to give every cent you have and every moment in your life. You will soon learn that there isn't enough money or enough time to save them all.

First, your credibility when down the drain when you decide to use the language you chose (the profanity if you didn't quite understand that). You seem to have a lot of information about these people. However, I'm guessing you actually don't know them. You write like a 5 year-old. You need to go back to English class. Oh, your offended at how someone you don't even know can judge you? How's it feel? The poor animals that sit in kill shelters are the only ones you are hurting with your dribble. So you are the murderer. You and everyone else who has decided the facts based on one Facebook post. Come back when you can complete a sentence with proper English and after you have proof of what you are accusing these people of. Oh, and I fully expect you to donate your time and money for any rescue you consider to be worthy. Or are you just full of Sh** yourself?

ASSHOLES

I agree, all these people saying all these bad things are assholes!

Oh good! Someone who has actually visited the shelter. Oh wait, I bet you have never actually stepped foot in a shelter. If you had you would know how limited the resources are and how many painful decisions have to be made from lack of funds. You don't have all the facts and it's pathetic that you would judge before you do! So mean with your words! How much did you donate to no kill shelters this year? How many hours did you volunteer?

Oh? Do you have a REAL rescue? You must have unlimited funds so that you can save every animal that is put in a kill shelter! I would like to have the name of your shelter so I can send ALL the unwanted animals to you. You don't have all the facts and it's pathetic that you would judge before you do!

Spread venom, but the truth is the shelter involved in east Texas tried for 3 weeks to find help for this family, Not one rescue or foster was found. They were ask at the last moment to try and save the babies. Scoff if you must, but these babies that do survive will never be adopted out for the monies out into them. Boy, howdy I call that a profit how about you
