I have only just spoke to 2 people today re this article and did not post till I had chance to speak to Jadey, news travels fast it seems;)

This indeed is the article published re LL and her dogs, it would be nice if LL could inform us what happened to the surviving bitch and buster/shades?
I have tried contacting her with no avail.
This is all very sad and unnecessary. (the outcome that is)

Although I never rehomed him as a rescue dog (but did help transport him with another forum member to get him to LoopyLouise) to prevent a lengthy train journey. I have spoken to Jadey and she feels very let down as do I and the other forum member who helped transport him so far.
LL if you are reading, a reply would be nice.

Cayla, you were not the only person who was misled.
Mistakes were made and lessons have been learned hopefully.

However there have been many successful rehoming stories via this forum and I hope this incident does not stop this happening in the future.

You have my full support and at least something 'good' came out of this story - although I hope the horses and her little boy are OK - LL, an update would be long overdue and you owe it to a lot of people.
 
I think we will be very lucky to get a response from LL.
ETS: and ditto all CC said!

I feel sad for Jade as she tried hard and was in a difficult situation but unfortunately this highlights why forum rescue offers should be treated very carefully, anyone can be posting and appearing in any way they see fit, sounds like LL may have been overestimating her capabilities.
I doubt the surviving bitch will have been rehomed being described as pit bull type but the Shades dog might have a chance? Anyone local to keep an eye on shelters for him?
It's the dogs I feel sorry for, not the owner.
 
An explanation is long overdue :(

I was one of the closest forum members to the staff before he went down to LL. I feel guilty for not taking him on, even though i have no space / incompatable dog already / work lots / rent. Although I know it is not my fault. No-one saw this coming :(

I know I will be alot more wary of people on here after this, which is sad.
 
Yep, care should def be taken when rehoming dogs privately from person to person, I think we all know that now.
I did actually get him a home up here but Jadeys family then changed their mind and told her they where keeping him (Jadey was gutted) as when they decided to rehome again the home I found had already gotten another dog hence why she did the private rehome with Louise, who seems pretty desperate to offer him a home. I have spoken to Jadey and her mum.

The difference is, you knew your capabilities hun. I was close and had no time to assess/work with him to rehome him as a rescue from us and he needed a home asap, and the one I had previously secured had gotten another dog by the time the dog needed homing the 2nd time around.
Lots of lessons learnt, it would be nice if we could atleast get some answers from LL herself.

My head agrees with you, but the soppy bit of me wonders 'what if..' quite alot in regards to this poor boy who had so much stress in such a short time.

I would be interested to hear LLs reasons for taking him on when she was obviously up to her neck in it with the girls. I would love to get a friend for B but I am waiting untill summer when I have my own house/ better garden and can offer the best possible home :( Surely she knew she couldnt offer what the dog needed?

Unfortunately I don't think we will ever hear LLs side of events :(
 
I know LML not a nice thought, I think Susie T is on the right lines, unfortunately we all know the laws on pitbulls, and because welfare was involved the remaining bitch would not have been returned to LL but Buster would have had a good chance of rehome as he was not a pit type.
 
There was always a lot more to this story than LL let on. I remember reading her posts about the dogs being removed, and thinking that the whole thing did not ring true.

Just goes to show - apart from those of us who know each other in RL, we are just fingers on a key board...........
 
wow I followed this story from a distance, feeling sorry for LL for her side of the story and wondering what else had to be going on in the background. Never thought it would be like this. Poor dogs.
 
As others have said, I don't think anyone who tried to help Buster can feel responsible for this, they tried to help with the best intentions. Sadly as he didn't go through Cayla's (or any other official) rescue, the normal checks weren't carried out, and it would seem LL was just an animal collector who did not realise her limitations. I would hope that Buster has been rehomed, and hopefully her horses too. Tbh my concern now is for her little lad, I hope he is okay.
 
That's pretty shocking. Sounds like she has a lot to answer for.

Having looked at her very first post, she also has 8 horses. At least she did last summer, I wonder what's happened to them??
 
According to the now locked thread, she has abandoned them too. If I said what I really think about that I would be banned due to the provenance of the horses :mad:

I have to admit, I had my doubts about the whole process, but didn't say anything - I wish I had now. This whole business of rehoming via forums makes me very uncomfortable, it is one thing rehoming to someone you have met via the forum but then got to know in person, but this rehome was not done like that.

I agree. A cautionary tale.....
 
Good god, after reading (and seemingly getting sucked in by LL 'story') I felt, like many did it seems, sorry for the lady.
Now, reading that, I am shocked that cruelty of this nature was so close to home (via HHO). No one could have known, and I feel desperately sorry for Jadey, she is a friend on FB, and she is a lovely person who didn't need this to come and haunt her. I hope that Buster/Shades has been cared for and is in, if not awaiting a nice new home. I am sure people are kind enough to look after her horses, she doesn't deserve fleas! Of course, as unlikely as it may be, she could give us her story and my thoughts may change, a little mind.
 
The horses were abandoned and the landowner needed rid of them. They were without passports as LL refused to answer any phone calls etc to sort them out, or even go to see them. Someone was arranged by the YO who came and 'took' most of them, saying that he would arrange for their disposal.

The mare and foal have found separate homes.

The horror is for the other ones LL had 'rescued'. Two from France, the rest local ponies and TBs bought for a pound each. They could now be at some ropey dealer, or doing the merry go round of markets, or be slaughtered, or be awaiting slaughter. Or be on the meat route abroad.

These poor poor animals. :(

I don't have words for someone as disgusting as LL. :mad:

Sounds worse now if this is true. Why didn't we hear about this sooner, any one of us could have helped in some way?
 
It is true. Unfortunately, by the time the location of the horses was known, there appeared to be no other option in the eyes of the YO, as neither the RSPCA or the WHW could help as the animals were not close to death.
 
Absolutely shocked!!!

Where did it say she'd abandoned her horses? Is there another article? This article said shes banned from keeping animals, so the horses must have been taken off her.
 
But why didn't ''other horsey people'' who knew LL step in to help, or the YO send out as SOS? If this had been known to people then I am sure 'we' could have helped. I understand the RSPCA not being involved and as the horses were generally ok they didn't need 'rescuing', but YO seemed very hasty to get rid. Its all very sad.
 
If livery was in arrears, it's possible that the YO recouped some of the costs by arranging this 'disposal' rather than signing them over to a charity (assuming of course that they could have found space in a charity. If charities are turning horses like these away it's not because they are being heartless or useless - it's because they are so full that they have no choice but to save room for the absolute worst cases).

What locked thread ?

I think everyone was sucked in by her, its the poor dogs and her son (if he exists) I feel sorry for and any other animal she's had contact with
 
I was really sad to read that article, having wondered for so long what the outcome was for LL's dogs (not involved, only read the posts, but felt real empathy for her situation). Never guessed it was this of course.... :(

The (unsubstantiated, of course) info about the horses is equally sad and shocking. All in all, a really sad and depressing state of affairs :(

Thanks for posting the link Cayla.
 
If she has been banned from keeping animals, then is there any way to find out what will or has happened to the horses? Or did I miss something?
