DOGS4WARRIORS SCAM - Page 6

The dog world does draw every POS on earth or I really should say flushes them out;  it's the dogs that end up paying, again, am so sorry for you and your dogs, how truly heartbreaking.  Hopefully someone will stop these POS and justice will be served.  I just hope the dogs can survive.  The intense worry must be killing you.  Take care of  yourself so IF the dogs do come back you can give them what they need.  Good luck  Nan

Bubba I strongly suggest you contact the pd who bought the dog. Ask them what she told them. Of course she's going to saythis isnt true. Call the Barnesville pd and ask about dix. And call Harrison County and ask about the dog they bought. You'll get your answers from a 3rd party

Donald,

Unfortunately, the link you provided http://www.gofundme.com/101st-RLTW didn't work. It says "Campaign Not Found".  It piqued my interest because of the tagline 101st-RLTW.  Those two words are very special.  My husband is a US Army Ranger (RLTW...all the way!) and retired from the 101st (Ft. Campbell, KY) a few years ago.  So very sorry what has transpired and even more sorry for the veteran's who entrusted this organization/person and have yet to receive a trained service dog.  Disappointing and heartbreaking would be an understatement given all that they've been through to have to endure further unecessary stress.   I honestly don't know how they can sleep at night if they are in fact profiting at the veteran's expense.

I sent six dogs to Dogs4Warriors .. they came to NC and picked them up.  The dogs ranged in age from 8 months to 3 years.  Three males and three females.  Thus far I have no bad reports or reason to think my dogs have been mistreated or abused.  I have had contact with Sheila but it has been minimal.  I would love to think that my dogs are all frolicking in a beautiful meadow with butterflies and bunny rabbits but if that were the case it would be better than anything I could have ever done for them.  All three of the males were undoubtedly handfuls and all three could have been Police type or guard dogs with proper training.  One female was an excellent high drive brood bitch and Sheila told me she might use her as a brood bitch before she took her from me and I gave her my blessing if that is what she did with Greta.  The other two young females were also nice dogs but need socialization and one of them was also a high drive female with a tendency to hold on to what she bit and not let go.  Once the dogs went to Dogs4Warriors I gave Sheila my blessing to do with them what she wished so long as the dogs were humanely trained, housed, fed and cared for with fairness and compassion.  If Sheila sells my dogs to raise money for her program I am OK with that so long as the mentioned caveats of fair and humane handling are followed.  When I first started breeding and training dogs I realized very quickly that the control of what happens to my dogs pretty much stops when I load them into their new owners vehicle and they drive out of my sight.  I have had many owners of my dogs who keep in touch and I rejoice in knowing what happened to my puppies as they grow and mature but I don't expect that I can undo what I have done after they leave my care.  Sheila has done nothing to me or my dogs that I can say is unkind or uncaring as of this date.  If some of you have a problem with Sheila and Dogs4Warriors then that is between you and Sheila but do not mention my name as I have not had a problem with Sheila.  If I find that my dogs have been mistreated then I will have a very big problem but until then I do not want to back seat drive as what Sheila is doing with the Dogs4Warriors program is in my opinion nearly impossible to do without someone being unhappy about something.  A list of the dogs I donated is below.  They were all good to excellent dogs but Sheila had to invest a lot of time and training in any of them to make something out of them for her program or any other use as they were green dogs.

The link to the gofundme page was deleted the very next day after posting it here. A veteran said they were misled about the service dog they were getting and spent over 3k in travel expenses to go to Ohio. They said he was nothing more than a pet. Another Veteran sent his dog there to be made into a service dog and she won't return his calls. Another Veteran donated 4 puppies and 3 she claims were struck by lightening and the 4th died a few days later. She said she had a necrospsy report and would provide it to him. She has yet to do this. She said she would send axl back to me and never did. The veteran who donated the 4 puppies told her he would pick her up for me and she threatened to have him arrested if he stepped on her property. They claim they have 50 dogs there. That's not possible. I know people who have been there and there was no more than a dozen dogs and I personally called the prison and they said there was 6 dogs there for training.

I assume you guys are aware of Dogs4Warriors FB page.........................https://www.facebook.com/dogs4warriors/photos_stream

Yes I knew about Facebook .. I have sent messages to Shelia via the FaceBook page as well and got a response.  Like I said I am not aware that I have been scammed and as far as I know the dogs I sent Dogs4Warriors are fine.  If Sheila could train dogs for free and give them away so that everyone is happy that would be a miracle in itself.  The only thing I have learned about GSD and most people is that the dog that most people want is not the dog that they need or can manage.  Some of the dogs that Sheila got from me were not dogs for beginners or someone who needed a couch potato.  In almost all cases the breeder and/or trainer is better able to match the dog to the potential handler or owner than anyone.  I have not heard anyone claim Sheila is not a good trainer nor have I heard anyone claim she mistreats her dogs.  That is pretty well as much as I need to know if that is true.

Fb page has been deleted it appears, or set to secret...

The Facebook page is still up. She did delete the ohio valley k9 page when I found all this out. I can't seem to post pics on here. Like I said call the Barnesville Ohio police chief. He will tell you what she told him and that was that Dixie was imported from the Czech Republic and if she could get her cheaper she would give them a better price. She even charged them for shipping the dog from the Czech Republic when donations payed to ship the dog from Arizona. One of my puppy owners donated 200 bucks. I don't see how anyone can think this is ok.

As far as treating the dogs good I don't know. But I was told by two people who went to barktoberfest that the other dog i donated if it was even him that he was small and skinny and didn't look healthy. She also told a veteran who has a dog from her that the dixie she sold was a different dog. Little did she know the dog was microchipped and the department had it verified.
