From the looks of it, likely at the buffet.
Pretty sad you have to hide under anonymous and make a comment like that. Grow some balls and stop hiding behind a computer.
Whats your last name Mary. Asking for a friend. Since Mary is the same as anonymous.
Not a Liberal what’s yours????
She was running mastro mutts in racine I thought. I got one of my rescues from them
We did too . They were at K9 Kibbles on Sheridan Rd. in Kenosha . We paid $450 for our dog . We love her !
This thug needs to be caught, she a disgrace to the community & her family & friends. I wonder what her addiction is?!
Food, obviously
No addiction and allogations….keyword allegations are not true.
Could you imagine the outrage and comments if this were a fat, colored woman rather than a fat, white kinda woman
Why you using the word fat???? And why use the words white or black?? Because all I see are people in the world not colors or body types.
You probably believe there are more than 2 genders also. Take your meds
I actually only belive in two genders but thanks for trying g to guess my beliefs I guess?????? And dont take meds do you???
More people need to be fat shamed, maybe it’ll make them change.
Shut up Paco.
Every bit the loser POS the other thieves on here are. Maybe more so. Put her in a meat suit, and feed her to some hungry dogs.
Wouldn’t need a meat suit.
What an absolute loser!
She learned her skills from Steinbrink Jr. Maybe she can ask Steinbrink Jr how she only can get a slap on the wrist and spend hardly any time in jail. EVEN BETTER, ask Zorner ( because, in the end, if the judge has it on her paperwork to get it, HE can either allow it or NOT allow it)to be released into Camp Cupcake like Steinbrink and have no real consequence for her actions.
You dont know the story dont judge.
This is extremely interesting seeing as she stepped down from Biggie Paws about two years ago and started a different rescue after she was voted out of Biggie Paws for wanting to exclusively rescue local dogs instead of shipping southern dogs up north.
What????? Not true.
But she was bringing up dogs from other states so that doesn’t make sense. Those were the dogs with parvo that she didn’t quarantine
She’s wanted for embezzling cash, didn’t see anything about abuse. Is there another article which refers to animal abuse?
Thx.
If this is true, how do the other owners of the rescue not know $20k is missing from the rescue? Does she even have anything to show $20k is going in her pocket? People will just believe anything now a days. She has saved countless dog lives. Medical bills for dogs that were neglected by ACTUAL criminals is the real crime here.
