RE: MIRANDA’S RESCUE IN CA…

More Allegations Against Miranda's Rescue

Fortuna, California - A self-described no-kill animal rescue in Humboldt County is now under active criminal investigation after allegations that dogs were illegally killed, buried on the property, and then allegedly marked as adopted.
According to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, investigators received credible information on April 22nd, 2026, involving allegations of felony animal abuse, animal cruelty, fraud, and conspiracy connected to Miranda’s Rescue in Fortuna. Because of the seriousness and complexity of the allegations, the Sheriff’s Office says its Major Crimes Division was assigned as the lead investigative unit.
Investigators served a search warrant on May 1st, 2026, at the rescue, residence, and business located in the 1600 block of Sandy Prairie Road. The Sheriff’s Office says evidence related to the investigation was seized, and animals on the property, including dogs and cats, were examined by Humboldt County Animal Control. Officials say Animal Control continues to monitor the animals daily while the investigation remains active and ongoing.
Animal advocate Jennifer Raymond, founder of Humboldt Spay/Neuter Clinic, says she has been suspicious of Miranda’s Rescue for years. She says her concerns began back in 2001, after she brought a stray cat to the self-proclaimed no-kill rescue and was allegedly told the very next day that the cat had already been adopted.
Raymond says that did not make sense based on her years in animal welfare. “I’ve worked in animal welfare for a lot of years before I moved up here, and there is no way that overnight that cat got adopted. And at that point, number one, I felt sick. And number two, I got a very bad feeling about this rescue.”
Years later, Raymond says she bought a home directly next to the rescue so she could watch more closely. She says she and Jenna Moore placed a trail camera near the property and allegedly captured video of Shannon Miranda using a tractor. Raymond says when hay was dumped from the tractor bucket, animal bodies could be seen.
Raymond says she and Moore later went onto the property at night and recovered deceased dogs. She says some appeared to have been killed recently. “The dogs were buried in dirt and they’d been killed recently. When you felt the groin area it was still warm. No rigor mortis. Two of them were puppies; they still only had baby teeth.”
According to the info
rmation provided by advocates, several of the dogs allegedly had microchips that helped identify where they came from. Advocates say one of the most disturbing findings was that at least one dog was allegedly reported as adopted to a shelter, even though the dog was later found deceased.
Raymond says the scene was horrific. “What we discovered was so hideous to look at a three month old puppy with a bullet hole in its head and blood coming out of its nose and its eyes. You have to be a monster to do something like that.”
Public records and advocate accounts reportedly show hundreds of shelter-to-rescue transfers into Miranda’s Rescue in 2025, with some dogs allegedly accompanied by transfer fees. Advocates are now asking whether dogs were truly adopted, whether shelters and donors were misled, whether money changed hands based on false outcomes, and who else may have known.
According to Miranda’s Rescue’s public materials, the organization describes itself as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) no-kill rescue, adoption, and sanctuary facility. The rescue’s public website lists Shannon Miranda as president, founder, owner, operator, and dog trainer. Advocates say that public image is part of what makes the allegations so devastating because many believed dogs sent there were getting a second chance at life.
Raymond acknowledges that she may have broken the law by trespassing to retrieve the bodies, but she says she believed there was a higher moral cause. “Everybody said, don’t go on the property, you’ll be trespassing. And after about a week I thought, you know what? There are a lot of people who have broken the law for a higher moral cause, and I think I’m going to be one of them.”
As of the latest reporting provided, no arrests have been announced, and Miranda’s Rescue remains under investigation. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office continues to ask anyone with relevant information to contact the Major Crimes Division at [phone] or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip Line at [phone].

If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office.
No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.

The Acting Attorney General of the United States is a cesspool of ethics violations and likely violations of the law.

@DAGToddBlanche will be disbarred.

Next year he will be investigated by Congress.

And if the facts warrant, the next Administration will prosecute him.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

More than 100 former judges have filed an ethics complaint against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging he has used the Justice Department to advance Donald Trump’s personal and political interests.

This is not a routine bar complaint.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now aggressively tackling, and arresting, U.S. VETERANS.

In this video, multiple ICE agents are seen violently tackling a man to the ground… while another agent points a taser at bystanders, who are standing so far away, they aren’t even visible.

As the man is being pinned down, his brother repeatedly yells that he is a veteran, and legally in the United States.

An ICE agent then pulls up and begins ordering the brother to “stay out of it.”

The brother continues shouting that the man being detained is a veteran, and legal.

And the agent’s response?

“I don’t care.”

ICE’s entire purpose is, supposedly, to enforce immigration law. Their entire job is determining who is not legally allowed to be in this country.

So, if an agent’s response to learning the person they’re arresting is a veteran… and here legally… is, “I don’t care.”

Then what exactly are ICE agents actually enforcing?

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Treasury just waived oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days — citing "progress."

Iran could rake in up to ~$10 billion off that decision alone.

In contrast, the Obama admin didn't lift sanctions until a deal was signed and the IAEA independently verified Iran's nuclear compliance.

Trump told Leslie Stahl something years ago that everyone should hear.

She asked Trump he kept calling the media fake news.

He said, I do it because I need to discredit you, so that when you say negative things about me, nobody believes you.

That is EXACTLY what he’s done.

The problem everyone has with him is that most of us grew up with values, ethics, and integrity.

That is not Donald Trump.

He figured out a long time ago that he can bully his way through any rule and if he keeps pushing harder and harder, people will relent.

For most of his life they did, but we must stand up against it.

This is not The Onion. This is not AI. This is not even Idiocracy.
This...is John Cafaro, the guy who got the no-bid contract to re-do the defecting pool's circulation and filtering system.
He's Trump's Florida neighbor, he's a Trump donor, and he's been linked to bribery scandals.
The name of his company? Greenwater Services.

[Justice For Jameson @Justice4Jameson]

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has continued to share Jameson's story.

In today's world, stories move fast. People talk about something for a day or two, then move on to the next headline. The fact that so many people have refused to let that happen here speaks volumes.

Every share, comment, and conversation has helped keep attention on Jameson and reminded his family that they are not alone.

This isn't the end of the conversation it's only the beginning. Thank you to everyone who has helped keep Jameson's memory alive and his story in the public eye.

Children belong at home and in school. Not locked away at the Dilley Trailer Prison. Every day, babies and children are traumatized. The food and water make them sick. Their medical needs are often ignored.

I am calling to shut down Dilley.

New concerns are emerging about President Trump’s sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants after a report found that nearly 100 of them have been arrested, charged or convicted of additional crimes since the attack in 2021.

It comes as continuing efforts by Trump and his allies to recast the events of that day have reignited debate over accountability and the rule of law.

@ElizLanders has more.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets.

Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal.

Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files.

The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

We all have a choice to be hopeful. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. We all have a choice to bring about the country we want. We all have the power. America has been a force for good. Yes, we have made mistakes, but we can and should learn from our history. We can walk forward into the future, embracing a better future, one that is for all of us, not just some of us. We can be a force for good, a force of hope. Thank you, @michelleobama and @barackobama for these beautiful words today, and congratulations on the opening of the magnificent @obamalibrary.
