Over 21, under 100. When I grow up, I want to be a writer. I have a few degrees and a little sarcasm.

With #SaveLucy, one local news station (heartfelt thanks to @MasonWillett20 w/WHSV) covered the story after hearing about it from @LoneStarChica. The rest is history.

At the #SaveSnuggles rally, a local news station showed up. Unfortunately, they got called out on something breaking. They are thinking about running a story on Snuggles early this week.

That is what we need. Ultimately, that was the goal of the rally and it came so close. They wanted to cover it. They still might.

Here's a link to the @KVOA tip form. Let's make it so they can't ignore this.

Pima County bureaucrats thought they could quietly kill Sergeant Snuggles after eight months locked in a cage over one startled nip on his own family's land.

They were wrong.

This young Anatolian Shepherd was guarding the acreage like his breed does. Grandma tapped him from behind. One defensive nip. She has said over and over it was her fault. She is fine. She wants him home with the kids who miss their dog every damn day. The family offered training, fencing, a behaviorist who cleared him. Courts and animal control did not care. Vicious label. Isolation. No real visits. Fees piling up while they play God.

Today at ten in the morning, families are rallying at the PACC parking lot on Broadway in Tucson. Lucy, Brendan Jones and family drove two thousand miles from Virginia to stand with them. Lucy beat her own raw deal and came home. Now they fight for Snuggles to do the same.

This is government overreach at its ugliest. Cowards hiding behind rules to break a family and crush kids hearts. One mistake on private property and they treat a loyal dog like a monster. The system stinks.

If Lucy can come home so can Snuggles. Stand up today. Bring him back where he belongs. Running free on that land instead of rotting in a cage.

Show up if you can. Bring signs. Raise your voice. Or call the officials and demand justice.

We were incredibly honored to be invited into Snuggles’ family’s home this morning in Tucson! Out of our two families’ worst nightmares, God has brought together a beautiful friendship spanning 2,000 miles! Though we wish we’d met under different circumstances, we are so grateful for the bond that’s been formed through this journey ♥️

They welcomed us with open arms, giving us a glimpse into the life they’ve worked so hard to build. Their homestead is amazing, with healthy animals and a garden—a small-scale farm, really—straight out of my dreams 😍 We spent the morning exploring the property, getting to know their kiddos, eating corn fresh off the cob, and meeting their other livestock guardian dog, Coyoki, and truly enjoying the company of such genuinely kind people.

They are a hardworking, generous family who depend on their land and on dogs like Coyoki and Snuggles to protect their livestock and their way of life.

What this family has endured since Snuggles was unjustly taken away—and what Snuggles has endured after nine months confined to a shelter—is simply unacceptable. They’ve been forced to pay more than $16,000 out of their own pocket just to keep Snuggles alive while the court system drags its feet. All because Snuggles nipped an adult family member on their own property while he was actively protecting his livestock and home! Meanwhile, Coyoki has lost her partner, the children miss their dog every single day, and Snuggles continues to sit behind concrete walls instead of freely roaming his land and doing the job he was bred to do: protecting the family that loves him.

Meet Meadow (Govt ID #14-062) — SAVED by White Coat Waste.

📷 Here’s Meadow on the truck ride to freedom at @kindnessranch — after we closed down a Fauci-funded cat laboratory.

June is #AdoptACatMonth, and we’re leading the fight to pass Violet’s Law in the Farm Bill. If we win, this bill will help transform even more lab cats into lap cats!

Thank you again for all who came out to show their support. It was hot but we survived :) special thank you again to Brendan and Lucy and family for coming all this way. What an amazing family!

[Dolly Spice- Jones 🌱🎵 @Herb_Minstrel]

🇺🇸 Great success!!!

So many amazing people showed up to support the #FreeSnuggles movement! Lucy had an incredible time too—her tail wagging as she was greeted by so many people who supported and followed us through the whole #SaveLucy journey. We also had countless cars honking, waving, and showing their support as they drove by!

It was wonderful meeting Snuggles’ mom and the rest of the family. They are beautifully kind people who don’t deserve the heartbreak they’ve been forced to endure. Snuggles is a working livestock guardian dog helping this family protect the animals that provide food and support for their household who has had to endure 9 months in the local shelter for acting like an LGD is supposed to act!

Government overreach like this must stop. Authorities should not be inserting themselves into people’s lives and dictating how they live because of weaponized technicalities that come from zero-common sense laws.

Thank you to everyone who came out, waved, honked, shared our story, and stood with us. Together, our voices are being heard. 🇺🇸❤️

@PimaSheriff please send Snuggles back to his family!!

We’re celebrating #AdoptACatMonth and Marigold — a cat rescued after White Coat Waste shut down an NIH-funded kitten lab.

Before she had a name, she had a number: #11-245 — tattooed in both ears.

Dr. Fauci’s NIH department paid the Univ. of California, Davis, to abuse kittens. Two-month-old cats were locked alone in cages. UC Davis rammed tubes down each kitten’s throat. It force-fed them scrambled mouse brains. All were slaughtered.

Your tax bill? $419,000.

But two days after we sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for lab records, UC Davis CANCELED the experiments! Following our win, UC Davis also shuttered its cat breeding colony and retired the felines… including Marigold.

This is a BFD. For decades, UC Davis maintained this colony. It supplied kittens for the nation’s worst experiments. Like NIH’s electro-shock tests at UC Irvine, the Smithsonian, and even the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs.

From FOIA to FREEDOM, you saved Marigold’s life. Thank you! She went from lab cat to lap cat — and was adopted by our founder, Anthony Bellotti.

White Coat Waste is the nation’s MOST EFFECTIVE organization at getting cats out of labs — and the ONLY group to shut down federal feline labs in over forty years.

Stop the money. #Stopthemadness.

Fern is new here, but we're hoping his stay is a short one.

This sweet senior Golden Retriever recently found himself at our shelter, and while we're still getting to know him, one thing is already clear - Fern is as gentle and kind as they come.

We know that once he's settled into a home and surrounded by love, his personality will continue to shine.

The shelter is no place for a senior dog to spend his golden years. Let's find Fern the soft bed, loving family, and happy ending he deserves!

Lucy and I are deploying again. One final mission for my old dog. To Arizona. We're bringing that #SaveLucy energy from the Shenandoah Valley to the desert to #SaveSnuggles.

Next Saturday will be Save Snuggles Day in Tucson. Lucy's return to the desert.

Veterans, bikers, dog lovers, anyone in the area - join us. It's going to be a positive demonstration to celebrate Lucy's release and RESPECTFULLY push officials in Pima County to let Snuggles go home.

We want this to be a celebration. We are the good guys and we will show it.

Lucy will be there, as long as my old car makes it. So should you. More details to come as we work them out.

Every medicated bath, treat, and kind word reminds Baby that she is safe now. That she is loved.

Today is our 159th Birthday and Day of Giving, and we’re asking for your help - every donation counts. Because every animal deserves the chance to heal not just their body, but their spirit too.

Venmo @pspca or https://t.co/mBoeah1Lv8

[Pennsylvania SPCA @PSPCA]

But as the days passed, it became clear that her skin wasn’t the only thing hurting.

Baby is gentle, but she’s afraid. She moves through the world hunched over, cautious and uncertain. She flinches at things that shouldn’t be scary.

So while we work to heal her body, we’re also working to heal her heart.

[Pennsylvania SPCA @PSPCA]

We don’t know what Baby’s life looked like before she came to us.

We don’t know how long she lived with painful, irritated skin. We don’t know how long she went without the care she desperately needed. We don’t know why she arrived at ACCT Philly in such heartbreaking condition.

[Brendan M. Jones 🇺🇸 @brendanmjones]

This is another weaponized technicality; the cold machinery of government crushing another veteran, his family, and a dog that did nothing wrong. The incident occurred entirely at the dog's own home and only affected a family member, who desperately wants Snuggles back.

Like Lucy, this is a sheepdog versus a Leviathan, an enemy no sheepdog is able to face.

Stand up for the sheepdog, my friends.

[Brendan M. Jones 🇺🇸 @brendanmjones]

Big accounts: time to take #SaveSnuggles national the same way you took #SaveLucy national.

Get behind this fight. It's about freedom.

It's time to let Snuggles go home. It's damn time.
