Subject: [safeharborpuppymill] IMPORTANT - DNR Vickie Gallye ( SP?)

OK first off I apologize if this is long winded, but I want to give all the details. This past weekend I was at Mount Hope swap meet selling some extra dog supplies I had. At about 1 PM a woman came to my table and asked if by chance I know who Vickie Galllye is. I told her I did not. She proceeded to tell me her story.
This woman was leaving on Sunday for Minnesota for a month to donate a part of her liver to her niece who was about to die without a liver transplant. She contacted this Vickie Gallye person and was told that she was a rescue.
She needed to turn over her three year old female unspayed labradoodle. Vickie told her she would meet her at the swap meet at 1 PM to take the dog, but apparently she had left. This woman tried to get ahold of her by phone to no avail.
I informed her that I was actually a rescue myself and I told her I would be happy to help her out by taking the dog, getting her spayed and finding her a great home. Just as she was going to turn the dog over to me, Vickie called her and about 5 minutes later she showed up for the dog. She pulled her white minivan up but never even got out. She said throw the dog in the back, then she said, "whoa, you said you have papers for her right?" She gave them to Vickie and Vickie said OK ( CKC papers ). She kind of screwed up her nose when she saw the dog and the woman pointed at me and told Vickie that I agreed to take the dog if she couldn't, Vickie told her, "No, that she has a home already lined up for her in Indiana". The woman thanked Vickie, said goodbye to the dog and left.
Vickie however did not leave. Right after the woman left she drove her van over to a stand selling puppies, wolf cubs, foxes, and various other animals, they were called C&J Kennels and Pet Store. Within about 5 minutes Vickie opened the door and SOLD THE DOG TO THESE PUPPY MILLERS. Vickie then proceeded to buy two foxes from them and left. Afterwards I approached the people who now had the dog and I asked them if they had just bought her. They said that they did. I asked them if they would consider selling her to me, to which the guy who had her leash responded " Nope, she is going to be pumping out puppies for us from now on".

This woman turned over her dog to Vickie Gallye in good faith, under the impression that Vickie was rescue and that the dog was going to be going to a good home. Vickie then broke that trust and did the most reprehensible thing a rescuer could do, sell the dog into slavery into a puppy mill. We try so hard to rescue dogs from puppy mills, and here we have a woman impersonating a rescue selling these dogs to puppy millers.
This is not hearsay, I along with another rescuer witnessed all of this from start to finish. The breeders from C&J Kennels who bought the dog admitted to me that they had just bought the dog from Vickie Gallye.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CROSS POST THIS, I ENCOURAGE CROSS POSTING OF THIS. WE HAVE ALL WORKED TOO HARD TO GET A BLACKEYE FROM A WOMAN LIKE THIS.

This whole thing was witnessed by an amish breeder at the stand next to me, and he saw this all transpire also. He said to me " I thought rescues aren't supposed to sell dogs? Is this what all rescues do? I'll never turn over another dog to rescue, all they are doing is creating competition for me by supplying my competitors with my breeding stock. I give them to rescue so that doesn't happen".

PLEASE CROSS-POST WIDELY FOR JAZZ, THE ABUSED HAIRLESS TERRIER.   HE IS NOW BLIND BECAUSE OF ALL HIS INFECTIONS.  EVERYONE, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CALL THE LOCAL SHERIFF AND TELL HIM YOU WANT CHARGES LAID ON THE WOMAN WHO DID THIS TO HIM.   

 

I want to thank everyone who has donated to Jazz so far, and if you havent, please do so. We still have a little way to go in covering his expenses. I also wanted to let everyone know that I have tried for days to get some justice for this poor baby and to get his father out of the hands of this horrible person. The sheriff of this lady's town refuses to do anything. In fact, he praised her for doing the right thing and turning Jazz in. He doesn't care about the horrible way this baby was treated, and told me to let it go, its just a dog. please read Jazz's story below and watch the video. After you watch, and you feel this baby deserves some justice, please call Sheriff Jimmy Moore @ 423-447-5555 and voice you opinion. I have came to the conclusion that the only hope we have of getting his father out is to stand together. I was told by the sheriff that Jazz's father is fine right now, but after you see the video, you will understand. what danger he is in. Jazz's former owner's name is Amanda McMahan. Also, please forward to everyone you know. There is strength in numbers. http://www.wate.com/global/story.asp?s=10337142

VIERA — Brevard County officials this week will begin advertising for a permanent director to improve operations within the Animal Services and Enforcement Department.

This director will oversee the county-owned, controversy-ridden animal shelters in Melbourne and Titusville, a combined $1.4 million annual taxpayer-funded operation.
Former Director Craig Engelson, whose job performance was roundly criticized in an internal report, was replaced in February. The interim director is Bobby Bowen, the county code enforcement manager.
Today’s job-seeking announcement by interim Brevard County Manager Stockton Whitten comes on the heels of an April 7 tour of the Melbourne animal shelter, attended by Brevard County Commissioner Trudie Infantini and other officials.
According to public accounts, that visit was a debacle: cold, shivering animals; no water bowls in pens; dogs defecating in terror.

In other actions today:

— Commissioners appointed a 10-member animal welfare working group to help guide future shelter policies.
— The commission hired University of Florida veterinary officials to perform an independent, 11-week shelter evaluation. Estimated cost is $4,000 to $5,000.

“We have many balls in the air, with regards to animal services. There have been some improvements,” Whitten said. “And I know the issues are very emotional, but we’ve made progress.”
Commissioners also may elect to privatize the shelters altogether in the coming months.
Animal lovers in attendance applauded the decision to seek a new director.
Melbourne resident Jenny Peterson choked up at the podium, telling commissioners about Apollo, a ferret she adopted from the Melbourne shelter. Apollo later succumbed to the shelter’s distemper outbreak — but not before infecting her other beloved ferrets with the dread disease.
“He died Feb. 22,” Peterson said, fighting back tears. “By (shelter) management not having the proper knowledge that ferrets could catch distemper from dogs, I lost five of my other ferrets. Their names were Sprocket, Kudo, Maggie, Baxter and Jessie.”
Saying she was “devastated,” Peterson said she still owes veterinary bills, and she also lost work wages caring in vain for her ailing pets.

Animal committee created
The Brevard County Commission today appointed members of a new animal welfare working group:

— Fred Abbey, instructor, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Paws and Stripes program
— Mary Bennell, legislative liaison, Brevard Kennel Club
— Anna Brown, former president, Brevard No Kill Coalition
— Theresa Clifton, executive director, Central Brevard Humane Society
— Scott Ellis, Brevard County clerk of courts
— Lorraine Gott, grant writer, city of Satellite Beach
— Clara Mutter, a Titusville dog trainer
— Nicholas Stack, assistant director, Voices for Ella
— Kelli Jo Strabley, member, Brevard County Dangerous Dog Council
— Denise Van Cleef, a Melbourne veterinarian

County officials will schedule a meeting as soon as possible, Assistant County Manager Heidi Denis said.
Call for new shelter manager
Last week, Brevard County Commissioner Trudie Infantini unsuccessfully tried to fire Mary Berley, who manages the Melbourne animal shelter.
Infantini and other officials toured the Eau Gallie Boulevard shelter during the chilly morning of April 7.
During Thursday’s zoning meeting, Infantini announced that she witnessed dogs in pens without water bowls or blankets. She also said some dogs are barred from leaving their pens during the duration of their shelter stay, so they cannot exercise for months.
Infantini worried that these practices may violate Florida Statutes, and “the animal-shelter operator does not have the compassion level to understand that what is being done is not right.”
Infantini’s call to fire Berley did not generate a vote.
Instead, Commissioner Mary Bolin said she wanted to visit the embattled shelter again to investigate — but she believed terminating Berley fell outside the commission’s management boundaries.
Commissioner Robin Fisher agreed. He said the commission directly oversees the county manager and county attorney, not lower-ranking administrators.
“We’ve got to be careful. We’re heading down a slippery slope if we’re firing people from this dais,” Fisher said.
In an e-mail to county leaders, tour attendee Holly Gann, founder of the Merritt Island animal-rights group Voices for Ella, stated she saw cold, shivering dogs without blankets on “Adoption Row.”
Gann also stated that canines were forced to sit in their own feces, and the animals were “being driven crazy” by the primitive conditions.
Berley did not work at the shelter Tuesday, and could not be reached for comment.
