Arrest Warrant-Here it is!






A concerned individual subsequently decided to obtain documents about an actual arrest to officially put any doubt to rest. The general public is permitted access because they are considered public information. So here they are....


Here is an estimated round of math. 15 minutes for the officer to arrive on scene, speak to the witness and call in to dispatch to explain the situation.

2. 15 minutes for SPCA investigator Blanchard to get to the scene

3. 10 minutes to enter Walmart, page the vehicle owners, then return to the vehicle in parking lot.

That is a total of 40 minutes that these dogs were left in the searing heat!


Let's do another round of math:

14 already vetted puppies/dogs x $300(the approximate "adoption fee")=$4200!!

Considering we have enough of a pet population problem here in Canada, is it really necessary to all the way to these different states to get dogs?

One reason for doing so is that many of the dogs from these shelters are already vetted and vaccinated. Some may charge a small adoption fee, while others may not. The potential profit off of these dogs is huge.

The second reason for going to New York, Ohio etc would be due to the fact that some other shelters or rescues in various parts of Ontario/Quebec will only surrender dogs to certain rescues.

Note: The volunteer at the shelter admitted that the vet had forgotten to sign the documents. As for the altering of the breed of one of the dogs, I cannot adequately comment.

As you can see in the document, the perpetrators were supposed to return to court on July 25th. This warrant is considered outstanding because they failed to do so.





Hot cars are death traps for dogs


Five reasons not to leave your dog in the car this summer, even for "just a minute"

SACRAMENTO, CA (May 18, 2010) – RedRover is imploring pet owners to avoid leaving their dogs in hot cars this summer – a practice that can lead to serious illness and even death.


Taken from "mydogiscool.com":


Leaving a dog in a hot car is dangerous and often deadly.



“Often people leave their dogs in the car while they shop or run errands, but doing so when the weather is warm can literally be a death sentence for your pet,” said RedRover President and CEO Nicole Forsyth.Forsyth offered five reasons why leaving a dog in a hot car can be deadly:

1. Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat-related illness because they can only cool off by panting and through the pads in their feet.

2. Even on seemingly mild days, an enclosed car can be deadly. In a Stanford University study, when it was 72 degrees outside, a car’s internal temperature climbed to 116 degrees within one hour.

3. Enclosed cars heat up quickly. In a study by San Francisco State University, when it was 80 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car rose to 99 degrees in 10 minutes and 109 degrees in 20 minutes.

4. A dog’s normal body temperature is between 101 to 102.5 degrees; a dog can only withstand a high body temperature for a short time before suffering nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, brain damage or even death.

5. Studies show that cracking the windows has little effect on a car’s internal temperature.

Already this year, RedRover has received reports of dogs like Snuggle, a Maltese/Lhasa Apso who was locked in a car while her owner visited a Tampa, Florida amusement park. When Snuggle was rescued, the temperature inside the car was more than 90 degrees and her core temperature was nearly 106 degrees.



*** FACTS ABOUT DOGS AND HOT CARS ***

What happens to dogs left in hot cars?

•Exposure to excessive heat causes the body’s cells to stop working properly and release dangerous chemicals, which can lead to nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, brain damage and even death. Essentially, all of the dog’s organ systems shut down at once.

•Signs a dog is suffering from a heat-related illness include:

•Excessive panting
•Excessive drooling
•Increased heart rate
•Trouble breathing
•Disorientation
•Collapse or loss of consciousness
•Seizure
•Respiratory arrest

  1. I read the warrant which was printed out on January 30, 2012 which PROVES that it is still outstanding!

    Melita was charged under Agriculture and Markets Law (NYS) Section 353 which reads:

    (QUOTE)353. Overdriving, torturing and injuring animals; failure to provide proper sustenance.

    A person who overdrives, overloads, tortures or cruelly beats or unjustifiably
    injures, maims, mutilates or kills any animal, whether wild or tame, and whether
    belonging to himself or to another, or deprives any animal of necessary sustenance,
    food or drink, or neglects or refuses to furnish it such sustenance or drink, or
    causes, procures or permits any animal to be overdriven, overloaded, tortured,
    cruelly beaten, or unjustifiably injured, maimed, mutilated or killed, or to be deprived
    of necessary food or drink, or who willfully sets on foot, instigates, engages in, or in
    any way furthers any act of cruelty to any animal, or any act tending to produce such
    cruelty, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for not more than
    one year, or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by both.(UNQUOTE)

    Melita is facing a year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine, no wonder she didn't show up for the original court date!!

  3. The warrant is still valid, regardless of when it was issued.

    Not denying it anymore, eh Melita? bahaha.

  4. Of course there was no jail time....because after abusing/torturing animals Melita ran. She ran because she knew she'd be found guilty. For someone charged with abusing/torturing animals there sure doesn't seem to much to "LOL' about. Who cares if Melita is afraid?....I just keep thinking of those poor animals that Melita was abusing/torturing. They were very afraid.

    2. It's all there in black and white yet you are still in denial? When it's 78 degrees outside, leaving dogs unattended in a vehicle for any length of time IS animal abuse and anyone with half a brain knows that.

      If you are as innocent as you claim you would have gone to court on July 25, 2007 to clear it up. On another blog, you stated that you needed someone to drive you, well why don't you ask your co-hort Stephanie Leigh Jackson to do the honors!

      Delete
    3. No jail time because you didn't show up for your court date several days later! How is not showing up for court not hiding??

  5. Thank God someone is paying attention to this woman. I'm glad the authorities are looking for Melita and I hope that she and her cohorts come to swift justice. For my part I am sure to tell everyone I meet the horrible circumstance our dog came from, and the verbal abuse and unprofessionalism we endured from Melita when trying to save our dogs life. Our entire neighbourhood knows to avoid Give a Dog a Second Chance.

    Keep up the great work on this site!

  6. I heard Melita and her co-worker Steph Lee (aka Stephanie Leigh Jackson) are cyber bullying people (including Nat) online and the police have been notified! Guess they are really mad about this coming out!
    Hopefully they will look into her arrest warrant/"rescue" on Old Brougham Rd in Ajax more closely!
    Seems her bullying has brought more attention to her!

      All this chatter about bullying is a bit funny to hear it from the side that has started this HATE blog.

      Also maybe Natilie needs to take a look at all the people that she has been gossiping with about Melita for 3 years if she has questions on whom has started that hilarious page.

      I wish I had started it, as it just shows Natilie can dish out crap but can't take it.

      I really enjoy the page....

  8. Ummm....Melita, nobody is posting up your address except for yourself. It is on your website. Where do you think people got it from? Why would you otherwise care since it is supposed to be a rescue and business location?

    Dear anonymous.......everything posted on this blog is from experience and factual information. Nobody started any highschool drama until Stephanie Leigh Jackson, Melita and gang created a ridiculous rumours by stealing my personal photos. That may actually be a copyright infringement, so I am looking into it as we speak. There are also cartoons, comments and conversations on there that fall under the criminal code. All of the information on there is defamatory and are pursuable in court.

  9. You guys really shouldn't try to flatter yourselves too much. I haven't followed anyone's every step for three years. If you notice, most of the posts are from 2009. It wasn't until your rescues started to solicit funds from people that attention was drawn again.
    Believe me, I am not the only one that has concerns about GADASC. There are a lot of people that know about her reputation. How do you think I found out about the latest fiasco? There is no "vendetta". If I had a vendetta I would have sued Melita years ago. What I have is a very reasonable concern for Melita running a rescue and having animals in her care.

    I put a link to GADASC website to show the name has changed. That is it. Show me exactly what page and what line I put any address up? Again, you need to review your information because GADASC has put their address up on their own website.

    We are well aware you can see posts on other groups. That is not a newflash.

    Again, you might want to check into the governing laws. What I post is legal. The group created about me is defamatory, meaning it has no truth. How many times does this have to be pointed out to you? Anyone could go and create a page abbout you or Melita and invent anything they wanted, but most of the people I know are not nearly as childish and have better things to do. I guess you haven't realized yet how serious the consequences will be for doing so.

    Check again about the "word for word". There is one blurb there to describe the new name change. Anyone wanting more information can just go to the website.

    1. Last but NOT least Natilie, you as a Nurse took:

      The RNOA Mission Statement

      "We represent the nursing profession in Ontario, speaking out for health and speaking out for nursing.
      Our mission is to advance healthy public policy and to promote the full participation of registered nurses in improving health, and in shaping and delivering health services now and in the future. We believe health is a resource for everyday living and health care a universal human right.
      We cultivate knowledge-based nursing practices, we promote quality of worklife, and we promise excellence in professional development services.
      Respecting human dignity, we are a community committed to diversity, inclusivity, democracy and voluntarism. We make leadership our mandate, working with nurses, the public, health-care providers and governments to advance individual and collective health"

      You do not follow this:
      Respecting human dignity.

      You have dragged Melita's dignity through the mud and back over and over again. You took that away from her and did not respect her at all. You took her dignity and bashed it up into many pieces. You Natilie did that when you started this blog 3 years ago!
      Your actions have had a big NEGATIVE impact on Melita's personal Health.
      You have caused extreme stress and other emotional tolls to Melita from the hate you have created with your blogs and FB group.
      The daily Anxiety and stress you have caused Melita cannot be taken back.
      As a Nurse, shame on you. Shame shame shame! I cannot believe you being a nurse, that knows what stress and anxiety can do to a persons personal health, you still did what you have done and caused someone to personally have more health issues that are attributed to stress.

      Even know that stress is a part of all our lives,but beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.


      I think 3 years is "beyond a certain point".

    2. You seem to be repeating yourself over and over. Starting to wonder if this is still Steph, or maybe Sue posting now?

      Congratulations on being able to cut and paste! Well, guess that is your opinion and I absolutely do not feel the need to defend myself. People who know me know what I am about.

      Everything that has come back on Melita has been caused by her own doing. Nobody else is to blame. Let me remind you of numerous things that have most likely caused Melita stress:

      -a call out to numrous rescues in Canada and the U.S.asking for a dog ban to Melita. Check it out for yourself in the link section of my blog.

      -a 2007 arrest warrant for animal cruelty. That looming over your head must be a big source of stress!

      -she was kicked out of the adoption centre at Pet Smart as far back as 2007

      -numerous wars with landlords over the years. You can also refer to one of these occasions on my link post.

      -being well known to Durham, SPCA and Oshawa animal control.

      -dealing with dozens of upset/angry adopters over the years from issues with her adoption practices.

      These things all existed well before my encounter with Melita. Some people need to stop playing the victim. Everything th her is always a cause of everyone elses lies/problems/attitude.

    5. ok, this will be my last reply..Sarah I did like it as I feel they are being attacked and slandered by all and anyone else, some not even knowing who they are, so why is it different if they do the same to prove a point. This is a witch hunt if ever I saw, and Sarah who the hell are you?..have you ever rescued, have you ever had to deal with the real rescue world, the side of it no-one else wants to do..have you ever had a house full of dogs because your fosters couldn't handle it anymore, have you ever had to make decisions on what is a good home etc, the stress and emotional side of rescue..or do you just sit behind your computer and judge?...I support anyone that actually goes out of their way and rescues..so yes right now I support the rescue until proven guilty...and Sarah, why not put your last name, hiding.

      Delete
    6. And let's keep in mind.....the "who are you" line- ANYONE can start a rescue. So operating one essentially means nothing regarding a person's love of animals.
      So, your point is really....null and void.

      Delete
    7. anonymous, how can my statements be nasty?..nothing nasty about them, and as for the one stating being dragged through the mud..what are you doing now?..and as for operating a rescue, I already said for people to do their homework, its as simple as that...honestly if I was adopting a dog and I didn't feel comfortable with the rescue and it was as bad as everyone is saying, I would report straight away and keep reporting, I wouldn't adopt from such a place in the first place..simple.

      Delete
    8. Susan, are you seriously suggesting that the arrest warrant is slander? Anyone who ignores that IS condoning animal abuse!

      What they are doing is NOT the same. They stole personal pictures and are claiming that Nat has a drinking problem. Even IF that were true, alcoholism is an illness and only the totally clueless would make light of it.

      Who I am is none of your business but I will state this: I am involved with rescue as a volunteer so I do have personal experience.

      Aren't you just marvellous bringing dogs from overseas while thousands of North American dogs are killed on a daily basis. Obviously you've never heard that charity begins at home!

    9. Sarah whoever you are, I am not just talking about the warrant, its the other stories and assumptions made by others regarding Melita...the gossip etc. Yes I know alcoholism is an illness, the page is just up as a joke to make a point, normal people will see that. As for you volunteering in rescue good for you, do you help walk the dogs etc. I rescue dogs here too for your information, what is wrong with helping dogs destined for the dinner table?..a dog in need is a dog in need in my books..and yes I think I am pretty marvelous..thanks for that...oh and yes charity does begin at home, the one doggie I need help with is a Canadian dog, if you want to help that would be great..my vet accepts donations..thanks and take care.

    10. Oh- and anorexia is also an illness. I will take that as a compliment though when compared to other people's states. Do you honestly think anyone is going to donate to your vet? Why don't you ask Texie to set up yet another go fund me account for that.

      Delete
    11. @Susan Thompson: Normal people will know that the FB page is a joke? I beg to differ, normal people know that illness of any kind is nothing to joke about. Do you laugh at people in wheelchairs too?

      Thanks for letting me know that you rescue dogs as if I hadn't already figured that out, see my previous comment. DOH. In regards to you being marvelous, clearly you don't know sarcasm when you see it. :-) What I do as a rescue volunteer is none of your business and my donations go to them and other reputable, registered organizations.

    12. Ha ha ha ha Sarah.
      Stole pictures??? Did she report the break-in at her home about the stolen pictures?
      When you post something and put it out there on the internet a normal person knows that posting information, pictures ect... Is there for the world to see and copy if they want to.

      Idiots!

      Also in response to the "I think I know what I'm talking about" who stated

      You are an insurance company phone dispatch, so what should we assume about you?

      If you gathered your information detective no name, did you see that no my FB page? Did your read WORKED at...not works, that would be current.

    13. @ Stephanie who said: "When you post something and put it out there on the internet a normal person knows that posting information, pictures ect... Is there for the world to see and copy if they want to."

      WRONG! Do a search for "Plagiarism" and educate yourself.

      In the case of photos, an automatic copyright is given to the person who takes them. Republishing photos without permission is a violation of that copyright.

  11. can I just say one thing I think is really important, this whole thing is getting way out of control. The sad thing is everyone is forgetting why we are all here..for the animals..isn't it more important to work together in finding great homes for the homeless pets? Everyone is also getting very nasty, childish and damn right mean, this is really silly and not helping the pets needing people to stand up for them and help. People do your homework, if you feel uncomfortable with the rescue then look for another rescue. Until Melita is found guilty and charged with all everyone is saying she is doing, leave alone, let people make their own minds up, if they want to adopt an animal, then its up to them, more fool them if they adopt when they feel its a bad place etc..really people..grow up!

    5. Personally (and this is the first and last time I've gotten involved in these discussions) I'm really glad that Natalie has taken the time and energy to shed a little light on your operation Melita. I never heard of either one of you until this Peterborough rescue story came out, but the more I read your responses? The more concerned I become that you are actually in a position of trust, because frankly even if I did believe your take on the whole Walmart incident (and I tend to believe the police accounting), if you think its ok to leave a bunch of dogs on a hot day in the parking lot of a Walmart EVEN for 15 minutes..well..lets just say that's nothing less than cruel and to continue justifying it is just wrong.
      As for the whole warrant thing? It's still open and if you REALLY feel yourself to be innocent?
      Then perhaps you should go back and answer to the charges. Until you do that you ARE running.
      As for Nat?
      I admire her tenacity and I'm glad that there's people like her out in the animal rescue world.

    8. @Susan Thompson I'd like to address your statement to "let people make their own minds up". That is what people who have been questioning Melita's actions want, and that is why certain facts have been published. Several of us have published the arrest warrant, while several others have come to Melita's defense stating that she helps many dogs. Now there are two sides to this issue, and people can make up their own minds. Personally, when looking into this situation, I have no regrets with regard to writing the facts. As an animal lover, I will continue to do what I can to raise awareness of this situation. I am not inferring that you are not an animal lover, but that you might want to rethink your position.

      As an example, last year FACW trainer Craig Wright was arrested and charged with animal cruelty (just as Melita has been). I reported on the Toronto Pet Daily, and the details were horrific. In addition, others reported on the issue and a Facebook page was created (not by me) to "warn" people of the circumstances. Would you call that a witch hunt as well? The trial has not taken place yet, but in my heart I can not and will not EVER recommend that training facility. When it comes to issues of animal welfare, I'm going to base my decisions on the facts as they are presented to me. I have heard Melita's side & the side of the police, as well as having received dozens of email accounts of "adoptions gone wrong" so to speak This is no conspiracy or witch hunt. I get complaints about businesses in the GTA all the time. Why have I never reported them? Because the most complaints about one particular business I've ever received is two, and I like to give the benefit of the doubt. After dozens of complaints about Melita, the benefit of the doubt was very much outweighed by my concern for the dogs. Has Craig Wright trained many dogs over the years without issue? I'm sure he has, just as Melita has rescued many without an issue. I don't care if Craig Wright trained 1000 dogs without issue if there is even one that was severely beaten (just one of the charges). I also don't care if Melita has adopted 1000 dogs without issue if there is even one (though the outstanding warrant says there were 14)that has suffered.

      Some people say, "Well at least Melita is getting the dogs out of shelters". That is no argument. The woman has been charged with abuse. I see no difference than a couple adopting a child from child services, to then turn around and abuse that child....."Well, at least THEY are getting the child out of a foster home" simply doesn't fly.

      I've sen you post over the weeks. You've never used insults or derogatory language to anyone (as far as I've seen), and I do believe that you want what's best for the animals. I also believe however, that your support for this rescue is misguided. If this "witch hunt" as some have called it prevents one more dog from sitting in a stifling hot van for any amount of time, than I have no problem being labeled a "witch hunter".

      Delete
  12. Melita, I have spoken with the police and they have told me that if you try to cross the border, you will be arrested.

    Before you throw out a "this is slander" comment, it is fact. You may be safe from charges (at least for now) here in Canada but not in the U.S., where you were charged.

    Susan, you may want to brush up on your (under)knowledge of the criminal code. Pictures in the fb group are not only of Natalie, but other people as well. And without their permission. Also, it is important to mention they were stolen from Natalie's facebook account (an album that was left on public accidently)- so this falls into copyright infringement.
    I suggest you also brush up on the meaning of slander. Here is a start for you taken from the criminal code:
    (1) A defamatory libel is matter published, without lawful justification or excuse, that is likely to injure the reputation of any person by exposing him to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or that is designed to insult the person of or concerning whom it is published.

    As you know, the facebook page falls into this law (ie. false accusations of drinking issues regarding several people, false accusations of prostitution, accusations regarding Nat's employment etc.). Nothing is factual on that page.

    Do what you will with this information.

  13. All of this is relatively new to me but what it comes down to is this. One's credibility is reflected in the way one presents one's self and by the way they speak/write. I am not picking a side but one does appear to be more credible than the other. Melita, you may or may not be responsible for that trashy page, assuming you are not, have you asked the person responsible to remove it because it can reflect poorly on you? I've been quietly watching this in the various blogs and facebook groups/pages. Again I am not picking a side, but really people, how seriously do you think you can be taken with the way you are reacting and attacking? The answer is not seriously at all. In fact, it makes me wonder if you are guilty of all claims against you. If you want to be taken seriously as an adult and as a rescue, you really need to clean up your act. How you have presented yourself thus far would make you the last person I would go to for help or to adopt from. This has nothing to do with what people have said about you, this comes from your behaviour alone. It is never too late to put down the gloves and become the bigger person. If you have any reputation left to salvage, the first place to start would be by not responding to what you consider lies. Start acting like a mature adult. It will get you a whole lot farther than putting so much time and emotional energy into what you are doing now.

  15. This amazes me, you think that the money fairy paid the shelter for the dogs for the Van rental for the hotel nights and for the gas.

    You continue to claim that Melita makes money. Tell me why her adoption fees are less then every other rescue? Some rescues charge $400 surrender fee and then charge $450 adoption fee. The rescues you claim to "reputable" vs Give a Dog a Second Chance Rescue. You claim to "do your reasearch" so you know that other rescues charge big bucks for adoption fees.

    Dog food is not free. The vet is not free. Travel cost, not free. Grooming, not free.

    What about running a rescue and caring for animals COSTS money and in rescue there is no money to be made.

    Also I see you have posted the News paper story up. That's funny, we have the screen shots of you and/or your friends stating that we didn't even have 4 dogs, that we fabricated some story to make money.

    What a Joke all your hard work into this idiotic blog and investigating is!!

    The claims you post on here Natilie change like your dirty socks. You keep fishing for something.

    Unreal!!

    1. You are telling me that was a rental van used for the pick-up of the dogs and hotel nights? Come on! They couldn't drive a few hours one way and a few back?

      Which rescues charge $400 for surrender fees? All the ones I have seen are about $100-$150 dollars. Or else everyone would be dumping their animals.

      Food isn't free? Then why is your rescue selling food online?

      http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-pets-accessories-DOG-FOOD-for-Sale-1-2-the-Cost-of-Retail-Stock-Up-W0QQAdIdZ355858669

      Why not keep it to feed your dogs, or give it to adopters to start them off?

      Vet care sure as hell is free if dogs aren't brought there to start off with!

      When one picks up 14 dogs at a time, then adopts them out for $300 plus, what is a little bit of gas money? A lot of the dogs in the States come with vaccinations, initial vet care etc. anyways.

      Yes, I put up the News article. The link was there, but thought it would be more convenient for people to see right on the page. It is rather poorly written and lacking substantiation, so there is not much credibility to it anyways. Who care about you having screenshots? Whether all of these dogs actually came from this home or all even existed is still one of the many mysteries.

    2. yes but as usually Nat are dogs are on one diet and what we do to keep alot is not wrong because of stuip people like you we do what we have too with or with you we need to survive and all the dogs are vetted your pups were too small i keep asking where are they love to see pick if you still have which i dought all rescue in Ont adopted for 400 go to pet finder boy you sure are out of the loops for someone which is so noise?also I payed for the dogs that were vetted and pay for the gas to Ohio in a van and the cost the driver whole day and night of work cost. them the grooming the infection they come with infection ears and eyes a cocadia and gurdia and fleas some needs special food i dont get some are sick when i got them boy you cant be that dumb REALLY.all site rescue in Oshawa are 300 to 400 to adopted in Canada the vets are not cheep really you claim you are so smart my dogs fully vetted are 300.00 if older or vetted when they come they are 150.00 .And yes Nat we made up a story about the dogs and took pic of some old wrecked house because unlike you we dont have all that time Grown up i cant believe you ..also First of all I never ran you people are too much I live in Canada I was not happy with this and im sorry it happen. NO dogs were ever harmed and as usually the haters are just stretching
      this to make it look worst then it is ,,when i can get this fixed which means going there (New YORK)which i have no problem with but i do not drive and animal crudity was all they could charge us with because the Paper work was not signed and done wrong, thanks to the Stark County (Margi )worker.she gave us screwed up paper work, which in a way was a blessing because of Margie From Stark County we would have been stopped at the boarder any way..so because in Ferdonia New york it is against the law to leave any dogs in the
      car. so that is what we were charged with and why you people no nothing i would not still be here Canada or not taking and adopting and caring for dogs and cats and still being harassed by all of you hater who believe the crap you read be my guest to think what you want i have been called on so many time and my home inspected so many time as well and dogs and cats still here if any of you know how to help instead of Hate like Nat and her inmate sisters. Do better research when you are talking about people and there are life's good or bad No the facts not the guessing ,,oh and im so done with your childless behavior ....

    3. Again Natilie, you assume things and this page is all assumptions.

      I was not aware that people cannot buy dogs food and sell it to make donations to a rescue. I personally get dog food at cost and I will sell it for donation money to Melita for Vet costs.

      You are confused again with dogs that come from the states. The shelters charge $150/dog. Some dogs may be fixed and have good health, while other dogs are not fixed and have fleas, mange, guardia ect... That we incur in Vet costs when we get them here. Rabies shots are the only thing that you need to have to go over the boarder with a dog.

      Maybe you don't have expenses with your dogs when it comes to bedding, treats, toys and Flea & Tic protection. Did you forget there are so many other costs that are not Vet related when you have dogs??

      Plus you are fried in the head if you think that other rescues do not charge large surrender fees. You say that you know everything about so many rescues, and you claim this to be something you have never heard of....what a joke!

      Natilie, go suck on an egg.
      God, you just have it in for Melita, and you won't ever give it up.

      Funny how you state that we should not flatter ourselves. The time and energy you have personally put into this blog is unreal. Find a hobby!

      This blog just shows how your a stalker. Every change to her website, who posts on petfinder, her new doggie day care, when she personally moves, working with Storms.

      You are always on her ass with every moves she makes.

      That is being a STALKER!!!

    4. I would love to know where this dog food that Melita is selling online comes from?

      Reputable rescues always do a follow up after adopting animals out.

      Reputable rescues do not claim to have their animals vet checked (by simply sending an adopter home with a vet's business card), only for the adopter to find out their new pet has not seen a vet.

      Reputable rescues almost always look to foster out their animals until they can be adopted out

      Reputable rescues will take in LOCAL animals

      Reputable rescues do not have their partnership with PetSmart terminated.

      Reputable rescues do not have their relationship with petfinder.com terminated

      Reputable rescues do not move location to location consistently

      Reputable rescues do not sell pet food online when they claim they are in need of donations of petfood

      Reputable rescues who do charge $300 + for dogs almost ALWAYS include: the basics: spay/neuter, all vaccines to date, deworming, microchipped and heartworm tested.

    5. Reputable Rescues?
      Now I was not aware that you "Anonymous" is the Governing party that determines what a reputable rescues is and is not. Do you have a badge that you carry?

      If you have issues reading, I will state again. You question in regards to dog food. There are many people that will buy dog food that they know Melita dose NOT use. You should understand that dogs need to be on the same food and NOT switch every few weeks. So these people buy it and sell it for donation money for Melita. I personally get a great discount at some pet stores and I have sold it for donation money to Give a Dog a Second Chance.

      Melita dose not sell food, you assume this.

      So lets see here, there are many rescues that DO NOT participate with PetsMart.

      There are many rescues that do not participate on petfinder.com.

      Please (other then Natilie's issues...getting puppies not of age to be fixed and Natilie pushing to adopt 2 dogs that she did not even come to see, and being told they have not seen a vet, yet still decided to adopt and take responsibility for) What are you talking about when it comes to Vetting? All dogs are FULLY VETTED through Give a Dog a Second Chance Rescue.

      Also, if Melita moves...who cares? Do you have people question you if you move? That is just being petty and stupid. What are you, a stalker?

      Plus since you know so much, there are many dogs on Give a Dog a Second Chance Rescue's site that are in foster care.

      Who said no follow-ups are done? Natilie? I guess that Natilie didn't tell people that she received many phone calls and e-mails from Melita and choose not to return them until months later to complain about the dogs being ill. A reasonable person would return calls and e-mails and would notify the rescue immediately if they found out the animal/s that were adopted became ill.

      Natilie did not do that. Natilie made the choice to not call Melita and notify her and ask Melita for Vetting costs at the time, not months later.

      Apparently you continue to have reading issues, as 99% of the dogs for adoption through Give a Dog a Second Chance Rescue are LOCAL. I would like to read where all the dogs that come into her rescue are NOT local.

      If you have issues with not taking local dogs in, well why don't you question other rescues that take in NON local dogs also from time to time.


      Basset Rescue (most dogs are from Quebec)
      Homeward Bound Rescue ( they have volunteers pick dogs up and don't even see the dog or cover Vet costs, then ask for an adoption fee)
      Alaskan Malamute HELP League ( are breed specific and will take dogs from all over Canada)
      Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport (take dogs from Canada and U.S)
      Big on Beagles (get many dogs from Quebec)
      Tails From Greece Rescue ( humm where do their dogs come from?)
      SOS Quebec Dog Rescue

      All rescues listed above are based out of the GTA area. So why don't you call and bother them about taking in dogs that are not local?

      I am not bashing any rescue here. I concider any person or rescue that helps animals from being eutherized and finds them homes, is good in my books. I could care less where the animals have come from. Unfortunately you rather choose to bullie one rescue based on what Natilie and her friends and family has to say.

      Plus the rescue that all seem to deem reputable "Helping Homeless Pets" is NOT ON PETFINDER.COM. So they are not Reputable then, right?

    6. A reputable rescue will not SELL the dog food they don't use, but donate it to another rescue

      A reputable rescue does not consider administoring a few shots THEMSELVES to the dogs counts as a vet check

      A reputable rescue would not be kicked out of their housing by the landlord at least once

      A reputable rescue WOULD do a follow up check, including phone calls etc. NOT threaten to take the pet back if there happens to be a health issue discovered by the adopter after taking the pet home.

      A reputable vet has COMPLETE documentation stating the pets are fully vetted.

      Reading issues:

      A reputable rescue would not have their relationship TERMINATED by Petsmart

      A reputable rescue would not have thier relationship TERMINATED by petfinder.com

      A reputable rescue who truly would like to help/save animals take in LOCAL pets.

      A reputable rescue does not put Nat's puppie's photos up under her "happy tails" section.

      A reputable rescue will not support a criminally slanderous facebook page and post links promoting it.

      To repeat for the billionith time- this blog is FACTUAL, which is not slanderous.

      That facebook page resorted to insinuating/out right stating that various people:

      a) have a drinking problem
      b) are in the sex trade industry
      c) comments about their work field.

      Among other offences.

      That is illegal.

      It falls under the criminal code of Slander, if you would like the contact information of the police officer I spoke to, feel free to let me know.

      Please forward me the Constable's contact information so we can verify Nat's blog is suiteable and she can make any adjustments to it if need be.

      Some how I highly doubt you will be passing me the "Constable's" contact information. lol

  16. Or some "rescues" have an unusually high number litters of puppies/ charge $300 plus adoption fees...then you take them home and they turn out to be sick and you pay tons in vet bills.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I was reading once again this bullshit that was printed. I want people to understand something! They stated Melita charges "$300 per dog" , how outrageous!
    Well if they were really in the rescue love mode, they would know that it covers, food (for all the months you care for this animal until adopted), spay/neuter, vaccinations, grooming if needed (and I don't see many that did not need it!) and any other medical care that that particular $300 dog needed.
    I have know Melita for 3 years and I have seen the work she does first hand. Let me fill you all in. This women takes in animals that the shelters and animal control would have put down. She not only rescues but saves the lives of many animals. She goes out of her way to ensure they are cared for and have found loving homes. Her heart is one made of gold and in the eyes of many beyond the big 34 people that read this stupid blog of MORONS , she has 100's that love her. Keep your head up Melitta and do what you do best, saving, loving , and rescuing.

  18. First of all "anonymous" aka Steph or Sue. Melita bragged to all of us on the adoption day about how she gets food donated to her rescue to feed the dogs. Once again her story has changed so many times she doesn't remember what she has told and to who it was told to. Somehow I don't think she is that particular about food.
    Yes, there are many rescues that do not 'choose' to to participate at Petsmart. However, that is completely different from a rescue that is kicked out of the adoption centre at Petsmart.

    Again, use whatever wording you would like, but some rescues may choose not to go on Petfinder. When GADASC gets kicked off of posting on Petfinder, that is whole different ballgame.

    What does "pushing to adopt two dogs she didn't see" mean? The whole point in me going to Melita's home was to come see all of the dogs up for adoption. Emails were exchanged one day about adoption dogs, and the next I was visiting the home. Remember, I have all emails saved, so the more you try to twist the story around, the more people see all of your true colours. Go for it though, keep on spewing out the lies because I will enjoy countering them all with the truth.

    I was not told they were not sen by a vet. I have three other witnesses. I have emails to show where Melita admits to not taking them to the vet because "her driver's arm was broken". I was given very limited paperwork with a Lawrence Brimley vet card stapled to it, and was told that is where she brings her dogs.All dogs are not vetted through GADASC. I know this as my dogs were not, as well as numerous stories from other adopters about missing paperwork and lack of vetting.

    There is a difference between moving homes by choice and being evicted because you are a nuance tenant.

    There was no follow up done. Yet another lie. Lies flying left, right and centre. Ten days had passed without one phonecall or email from Melita. Months you say until I notified her? Again, guess I have to dig up those emails that show correspondence between us after those ten days. Only because I called her to notify her that the dogs were sick. Guess I wasn't able to in the first week since I was too busy trying to save two very sick puppies.

    Again, I did ask Melita for vetting costs at that time, but what a surprise that she refused to take any responsibility in the situation. She even refused to refund me my $500 adoption fee, which was a small portion of the vet bills incurred. So much for being such a great rescue who cares about the best interest of the animals. Guess I am going to have to do some more work here and dig up those emails too. Sheesh.

    Helping Homeless Pets has an outstanding reputation, and thus probably does not need to resort to soliciting on Petfinder.com for adoptions. Their name is enough for people to trust to refer to their own webiste.

    Again, anyone can sign up for a Petfinder.com account. As we have seen, someone with a warrant for animal abuse was able to sign up. Luckily, they smartened up and decided to remove that association.

    I have been reading Melita's responses to comments about the Walmart parking lot incident. What is the most frightening to me is the fact that she refuses to take any responsibility for it all. Even scarier is the fact that she thinks it is normal to leave any dog in a van on a hot summer day. This is not someone I would entrust to look after my dogs.

    1. Thanks for suggesting a "physiotherapist". You might want to go brush up on your science skills so that you can at least get the terms of practitioners somewhat right.

      Honestly, I can't even bother to comment on any of Sue's, Melita's or Steph's posts because I can't take them seriously. What a waste of time.

  19. Helping Homeless Pets is a large organization made up of individual rescues across Ontario and increasingly throughout Canada. If a dog is taken in somewhere beyond the GTA it was most likely taken in by a LOCAL rescue that passed the rigorous and stringent standards it takes to gain HHP membership.

    Yes it is hard to read... because you write so poorly. I have had to read posts from 2 individuals at least 3 times to attempt to understand what they are trying to say. It's hard to take you seriously when after reading what you have written I picture you stomping your feet in a playground throwing a temper tantrum.

    2. Nice way to twist words around, you must think your very clever...not really!!

      Who knows what you people will do next? Natilie called Paws & Claws to try to get Melita out of there doing her adoptions...told the owner Melita is an animal abuser, what's next....really?

      I will clarify, Natilie has proven herself to stalk people electronically, Elena, Olivia, Sarah...I have my suspicions. Since you have involved me though, I have asked my for my home to be watched when we are at work. Mostly considering I have received messages with Natilie and Elenas names from a woman that says you people have stalked her and have been for many years. Stange 2 full names are the same?

    3. Stephanie,

      I will tell you right now, I had a police officer (Toronto Police) come to my house last week and I filed a report. I have been told what you have posted is a criminal offense and charges can be laid.

      I will not stand for you involving me in your bullshit, and that includes posting pictures up of me (OR my sister and other family members) that are stolen and writing captions about us that are untrue.

      I showed the police officer everything that you, Melita, and the others have written/posted.

      I would be more than glad to give you his information to contact him, as he has your name anyway and knows who you are.

      Stop with your lies and causing shit and grow up.

      I do not appreciate being dragged into this and wasting 3 hours of my day talking to the police over something so immature. I almost felt embarassed for all of you having to show the police officer your stupid facebook page.

      The only thing this has done is brought more attention to you, Melita and everyone else involved in your slanderous internet bullshit. You better believe they are doing back ground checks.

      If you think that this is a joke, you are very wrong.

      Send me your e-mail and I will be glad to give you the officer's name and phone number if you do not believe me.

  21. Hi, I have read all the posts and the warrant. Were any of the dogs harmed in anyway?. I do not agree that any dog should be left in a vehicle, just to clarify that. I was just wondering if any dog actually needed veterinary attention? Did the police have to break windows? due to dogs being in distress?
    I knew of a rescue, not saying which one. A dog was adopted, but 9mths later she had cancer and had to be put to sleep. Is that rescue bad ?. Also another case a dog went blind due to high blood pressure. With puppies because their immune systems are weak and not knowing sometimes where they come from, parvo unfortunately is an evil disease, sometimes not showing itself straight away. Stress can bring it on for example.
    Hope you all sort this out and get back to rescuing dogs in need.

    1. Hi, no dogs were harmed at all.

      Story is: Pick-up dogs that were set to be euthanized in New York state. The rescue and another party with her and noticed after driving ...hummm 20 minutes or so that the dogs were unhappy in the Van. At these kill shelters in the U.S, dogs may be fixed but non are ever treated for fleas and worms...you get the idea.

      Noticing that the dogs were full of fleas and really had nothing to occupy them for the long drive, we came along a Wal-Mart. We took all dogs out to do their business, put them back in the vehicle, ran into Wal-Mart for 10-12 minutes to grab chew bones and flea stuff for the animals.

      When we got outside there was a woman on her cell phone outside if our Van. She was raging on about it was a state law not to leave animals in a car and we had left several dogs. She called the police before we even got back out. We had no idea that an animal could not be in a car alone by law in the State of NY.

      The police came 20 minutes later...making us wait. All windows were open on the vehicle and dogs were watered. No dog was in distress at all. They had to ticket us as it was the law there.

      After reviewing paper work on all dogs that we were bring up from the kill shelter, Margi (stated in above) did not have it in order. Dog breeds, ages ect... When She was called to clear it up and get us back on our way, she could have lost her job for the messed up paper work and did not take responsibility for it.

      Sad, the police had another kill shelter pick up the dogs and allowed us to go home. If any animals were hurt or needed vet care, we wouldn't have been able to go home!

      This blog is not about 2 rescues fighting. A Natilie Fletcher started this page and has stalked the rescue's founder Melita for 3 years now because she adopted puppies that ended up contracting Parvo. She flames Melita for this, and has not stopped. If you look at this blog, you can see that Natilie continues to harass the rescue and the founder of it. Yet Natilie has not seen the woman in 3 years...she continues to try to terminate every attempt the rescue dose to adopt animals

      This past weekend, she called the Pet Store where the rescue is in every weekend doing adoptions, to inform them that the rescue is run by a animal abuser and went on and on about all the non sense she has on here.

      If someone adopts a dog or cat. A rescue nor a breeder can garentee that the animal will not be sick one day. I have (before I worked with rescue) personally adopted a dog, to soon realize that a month after that the dog was not spayed as were were told. I had Vet bill out the ying yang for her getting severe UTI's over and over gain. There were many things that did not go well with that adoption. But the way I looked at it was this, I have her, love her and crap just happened.

      I have never named the rescue and nor will I. Things happen that are out of everyones control. I never went to the extent of starting a blog and stalking the rescue that I adopted my girl from.

    2. We bought our pup in Oshawa

      We contacted Melita via the internet, she had a posting on a pet finder website. We were looking for a dog that was no bigger than 20lbs full grown. We had never rescued before and naively believed that any rescue with charity status would be reputable.

      We drove to Oshawa to pick a puppy from a litter she had of, what we were told us, were 10wk old Pomeranian / Manchester terrier mixes. We were told that the litter had been left on her doorstep in the middle of the night. We were also told that the puppy had been vet checked and okayed for adoption that morning. That she had all her shots, was microchipped, and checked for fleas.

      The place was a disaster, but we thought "oh she's just a nice lady doing a nice thing", and picked out our puppy . Our puppy had a runny eye and nose, and when we asked about it we were told it was a common side effect from the shots she recieved at the vets that day. Our puppy was given her last dose of de-worming mediceine in front of us and we were told she had diareaha from this medicine. We said we understood and happily took her home.

      48 hours past and we thought our puppy was unusally calm, she was also infested with fleas. She had bad direaha and refused to eat. When she stopped drinking we called the vets and rushed her in to the soonest appointment avaliable.

      Delete
    3. (continued)
      After examination the vet told us our puppy was to be immediatally admited, that they thought she had Parvo and had to run tests. They told us that parvo was very expensive to treat. We admited our puppy.

      That day I called Melita and spoke with her. She told me that our puppy did not have parvo but rather had whipworm and to tell the vet the rescue had a whipworm problem and that whipworm presented symptoms that looked like parvo. She told us to tell the vet not to treat for parvo and gave me the name of a de-worming drug to tell the vet. I asked Melita to help us with 50% of the vet bills since we just spent $300.00 on the puppy and it was sick when she gave it to us. She agreed.

      I told the vet what Melita said, they told me our puppy did NOT have whipworm, that the tests had come back and that she had a bad case of Parvo. In addition she had a respatory infection, and eye infection, as well as a roundworm infestation severe enough to kill her without all the other problems. They did not expect her to live and told us that treatment would be very expensive. We were also told no vet should have approved this puppy for adoption. We said treat.

      I called Melita the next day and told her everything the vet said. I asked her how she would like to cover her 50%, if we should pay upfront and she would reimburse, or if she'd like to pay the vet directly. At this point Melita told me that she never said she would help with vet bills, but rather she would refund 50% of the $300.00 cost of our puppy. She told me there is no way she could afford those bills. We told her we also could not afford the bills and that the puppy she gave us was sick. She cussed me out and told me I only cared about money, and then hung up the phone on me.

      Devestated, and saddled with $2000.00 worth of vet bills we could not afford we placed an ad on craiglist asking for donations and saying where we recieved the puppy and her story. I recieved many offensive and vulgar e-mails from Melita about this posting, including rambling information that the entire litter was sick. From what I understand the entire litter that stayed with Melita died with the exception of our puppy, and a male puppy that was adopted the same day.

      Finally our puppy recovered and we went to the vets to take her home. They had one more suprise for us, they told us our puppy was not 10wks old, as told by Melita, but that she was closer to 5wks, and we were told to be prepared for a large dog, that she was actually a Rotweiller mix. She is now almost 70lbs.

      Thankfully our puppy survived and is now happy and healthy and 2 years old last month. We have had no contact with Melita since Bitey has gotten better.

    4. I volunteer at Stark County Dog Pound, a kill shelter in Canton, OH. I'm always networking and trying to find homes or rescues to take dogs so when Melita contacted me, at first I was thrilled. She had taken dogs from Columbiana County, the one next to ours, and they at first recommended her. We were taking her maybe one or two a week. We did the 5 way, bordetella, rabies and health certificates (she reimbursed me, at first). Then she started looking at the website, asking for easily adoptable dogs (Pomeranians, little lap dogs, puppies) that we can adopt locally and she would get angry if the dog was already spoken for. After a few weeks, she started contacting me with long lists of dogs she could take. Something told me it was "fishy" but looking at the dogs in the cages that could have a chance at life was too tempting. We would meet her in the Buffalo area. After a few weeks of this, I told her I would drive all the way to her place (I wanted to see it) but she balked. The last transport we did with her was in August of 2007; I took her 15 dogs. We met in the Walmart parking lot; it was over 80 degrees. We helped her load her van. About an hour later I got a call from her while driving home. She and Pauline had driven to the front of the Walmart, parked the car and went shopping...leaving all those dogs in that hot car. Someone called the Humane Society. They seized all the dogs (thankfully, they were all rehomed by the HS) and charged Melita with Animal Cruelty. She called me because she wanted me to drive to the Humane Society and bring her the dogs. I told her what I thought of her leaving the dogs in her car and that we were done with her. After several nasty emails, I haven't heard from her.She owes me over 1000.00 from writing bad checks. She owes the two other counties money as well. She was getting fully vetted (fixed as well) dogs for 70.00 and charging 250.00. I'm not saying a rescue shouldn't charge enough to cover expenses, but she was really raking it in. Then I found out after some research, that she has been evicted numerous times; she has been investigated by the HS but keeps moving. She used to show her animals at the Petsmart in Nashua (?) but I see on her site she no longer does that. She sells sick dogs, withholds vet care, lies about the dog's temperaments. The last time I saw her she had a huge dog bite on her leg from one of her "fosters."Sometimes people in dog rescue get in over their head and get too many animals; they mean well but become overwhelmed. This was not her case. She is doing this purely for the money, with no good intentions. I hope she can be stopped. If she's got Parvo in her house, she shouldn't bring in any more puppies. Feel free to share this information. She was charged in Chautauqua County, NY for animal cruelty. It was the Chautauqua County Humane Society that confiscated the dogs. It was August of 2007. Melita tried to blame me for the dogs being seized...when I got their rabies shots, the vet forgot to sign the certificates and I forgot to check if they were signed. A call to the vet by the authorities quickly cleared this up but she kept harping that it was my fault. Margie Serri,Friends of Stark Pound

    5. You are really now going to say that a legal document produced by a police officer and police station are lies? Read the report to refresh your memory. The police did not come twenty minutes after you were out there. The report clearly states that after the officer came to the scene, after waiting 15 minutes for an SPCA agent, they had to go into Walmart to page you.
      The report describes the windows being open only about an inch. The report describes the dogs being in distress.The report says ONE dog breed was altered, the rest of the paperwork was fine, other than missing vet signature. The report says this was cleared up right away through a simple phonecall.

      Margie could not have possibly "almost lost her job" because she was a volunteer, not an employee of the pound.

      It is not sad another kill shelter picked them up, because it is probably what saved the dog's lives. Again, the report states that two dogs were adopted, and the others were sure to be adopted from a pound that had excess space.

      Melita demonstrates over and over that she cannot take responsibility for any of her actions. She accuses everybody else of lying or screwing things up, or stalking. Even police officers and SPCA agents now!

      Again, stop making false accusations about what I have done/am doing.

  23. it has come to my attention via a very good source, that one of the Peterborough dogs Faith, the 7yr old female, not spayed got pregnant while in Melita's care by one of her own male intact dogs.
    Melita instead of doing the right thing and taking Faith straight to the vets to abort the pregnancy and spay Faith, let her carry full term. Faith gave birth to roughly 13 pups, which Melita then sold for I believe $300 per pup. I don't know how someone that rescues dogs, can let this happen and then add to the over population of unwanted dogs that we already have. Work out how much she made on poor Faith?...I am disgusted in this and then also found out she sells the dog food donated to make extra income. She has friends write letters to the Ontario Disibility saying she rents rooms etc, but infact she is renting a property for $1,400 per month, so she needs the extra income on selling food, dogs etc to pay her rent, that is not right. I cannot understand how people let her do this, people who have morals and care about the animals, they should be ashamed of themselves for knowing what she does, and lets her do it. This lady has to be stopped, this is not right, MELITA, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

  24. I would encourage this person to contact the disability branch about Melita. She is not supposed to make any income on top of disability!

  27. Iknow of another rescue that is also bringing dogs up from Ohio and selling them is Ontario. They bring up 15 to 30 at a time. They are definalty looking more to make a profit then rescue a dog. It is so sad that people like this give legitamate rescues a bad name. I visited this place. It is one step up from puppymills!

  28. I went to her place and was horribly disturbed. I have notified EVERYONE POSSIBLE. she needs to be stopped. Ospca, drhs, public health department, you name it. She operates a doggy day care clled the doggy pad. If she is on disability I have her business card but it doesn't say a name for SOME reason.

    1. That is pretty generic! Can you tell us who this "representative" is and what department they are from. Find this hard to believe, so wouldn't believe it til I see it. Any updates?

    2. She is NOT shut down...In fact she is going on Kijiji and collecting Kittens / dogs listed for free "to LOVING home". She portrays herself as a family who wants a "PET"...then she turns around and sells them! That is not a NON profit organization and it's deceitful! She did this to our family a few days ago and we are now seeking legal recourse to get him back as she has him shoved in a cage!
