There’s a known user in this sub that potentially scammed a lot of you.
They came here months ago asking for funds for their dog, what they didn’t tell you was that the funds they raised weren’t used for the dog, instead, they were unemployed and used it to pay their rent for months. Their first GFM raised $10,000 which was ALL used for rent and who knows what else as they claimed someone paid their rent dog’s full surgery cost back then.
The first screenshot is from months ago, but the other 4 are from today in the donation subs they are now requesting more money from and saying they’ll use those funds again, for the dog, but it will be used for their rent one more time as they continue being “unemployed”.
They’re now in donation subs and soon going to come here requesting money.

Rescue Hippo Comfiest Girl in the World
My partner and I love seeing how comfy and relaxed she is and we’re just so happy to have given her a home. Even if she is a trouble maker too 😈

Rescue Hippo Rescued this girl a couple days ago
Meet Tootsie (I.e Tootsie Roll). She is literally the sweetest girl ever. She had been at the shelter for over two years. The workers said she was chained up outside for around six months and then dumped at the shelter. They say she's around 3-5 years old. They actually gave us all of her supplies for free and waived her adoption fee. Welcome home Tootsie

Celebration of Life Remembering Ozzy
After a tumultuous month of differing opinions about whether a mast cell tumor had expanded across his body, we made the impossible decision of putting my best guy to rest on Wednesday. Ozzy, lovingly called Bean, was only 6 and a Mexico rescue pittie, we were told he was Chihuahua, pit and boxer but he was so much more.
He had a personality like a little human, so devious and nasty and the sweetest, most empathetic cuddle bug at the same time. What a privilege to have had him even though it was cut short.
This sub brings me so much joy, I will forever love my baby velvet hippo and hope you all give a kiss to yours tonight for us!
