URGENT SITUATION AT VILLALOBOS RESCUE FROM TIA!! IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!
by Elizabeth Salz Leonelli on Wednesday, February 23,
So
things are getting ugly with this group of people in Tehachapi. They’ve
even gone so far as to put up a site/blog that is “profiling” dogs off
of my site and showing them as dangerous dogs. These people have created
mass hysteria and now the sheriffs have banned with them in saying I’m
basically a danger to society. Of course they don’t even care that my 17
year perfect track record here in L.A.County means anything. One of the
businesses in town actually told us we weren’t allowed in their store. A
couple of the apartment complexes turned us away when my workers tried
to rent an apartment because of their affiliation with the TV
show/program. Yet……every single dog rescue in Tehachapi is being run
illegally without permits. Three weeks ago I spotted a homeless man
sitting at a gas station with his 2 Pit mixes in the freezing cold snow.
He was there all day and yet no one in this “quaint and cute tourist
town” asked him if he needed help. He was there alllll day into
nightfall and I went back and got him and his dogs into a hotel room
where I’ve been paying for 3 weeks for him to stay there until we can
get him home to Kentucky hopefully this weekend. The news found out and
the story was everywhere including CNN. NO ONE in this town wanted to
help him. Yet I am the monster.

This Friday the Planning
Dept in Kern County is going to make their ruling as to whether or not
they recommend my program when it goes before the commission on March
10th. I’m sitting here dumbfounded because in L.A. County I was spoiled
because I was their little “sweetheart” and they treated me so well.
Never did I think this would happen in Kern County which has the worst
reputation in the country. I found a post on another site that said “we
don’t want no outsiders here” I am right in the middle of building my
new kennels and now I’ve halted all construction. The rumor is that the
area that I’ve moved to, the locals are going to “run me out of town”.

It
would mean alot to me if you could call the Supervisor for the
Tehachapi District. His assistant got word to me last night that these
people are trying to twist his ear and being that about a year or so ago
he got accused of being a pot head, maybe he would be someone who would
understand how if feels to be accused. His name is Zack Scrivner. The
office numer is 661-868-3661. How doees someone (me) who has never
drank, done drugs or even smoked a cigarette, have had ZERO violations
with animal control and ZERO neighbor complaints, have this happen to
them.

In closing, here is the magnitude
of what will happen if on Friday the inspector rules against me thus
making the commission rule against me:
of what will happen if on Friday the inspector rules against me thus
making the commission rule against me:
1. I will lose the TV show which has quadrupled our adoption rate and kept us financially able to take in more dogs
2. I will immediately have to fire all of my workers due to lack of funding
3.
I will immediately have to close my doors and have to quickly place and
euthanize the majority of my dogs. I only say euthanize because we do
have some dogs here that are not adoptable and only we

We
are due to start filming again on March 14th which is my only steady
income. Since I basically live paycheck to paycheck…..well you can
figure out the rest of this story. Things are that bad right now with
what these people are doing. I’m scared to even walk down the streets in
that town right now because of all the hatred. I feel helpless and I’m a
wreck.
