Gentle Giants Rescue And Adoptions Misrepresenting, Defrauding, Dishonest, Deceiving, Lying, Over-Charging, Bad Contracts, Harrassing, Ripoff Norco California
After I adopted a dog from Gentle Giants Rescue, they tried to illegally respossess my dog because I did not feed a brand of food that they THOUGHT I must feed the dog.
After speaking with many, many people about this organization, I launched a website, Gentle Giant News, to let others know about them.
They filed a lawsuit against me for Defamation, Interference with Business, and "emotional distress". This lawsuit was tossed out as a Meritless SLAPP lawsuit because of my FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT of free speech.
I have made available, thru my website, many many other people's horrifying experience of adopting a Giant Breed dog from this organization.

Has anything improved with this so-called rescue business?

After Batman had died, I became curious about Burt Ward, what is he up to these days, etc.
At first, I thought, "Oh, this is great. I love animals too, and he and his wife are fabulous for having a rescue place to save dogs." Looking a little deeper, I shudder to think their so-called non-profit rescue (which requires only feeding adopted dogs THEIR dog food) is still allowed to operate.
Recent reviews on Yelp and Google are filled with horror stories, and I also read 13% of the reviews on Amazon for their dog food are negative!
I am by no means an animal expert, but where there is smoke, there is fire. It seems they can insulate their bad deeds with a non-profit status AND Burt's celebrity status, which is a crying shame. All of these people who independently posted information on Barbara's website, on Yelp, on Google, and on Amazon cannot be wrong!
Barbara's website offers a slew of testimonials, official documents, documentation of the Wards' litigious behavior against anyone who challenges them (including a major California newspaper, go figure) and Barbara herself for being an activist. I have never heard of repossessing an animal or being able to enforce a contract stating an adopted animal must be fed a certain food and that food only. I doubt that is even legal in California! If it is, we need legislation or a landmark court case or some avenue to change that.
After the shock of Batman's death wears off, I plan on contacting journalists and animal activists to see what can be done to ascertain what is currently going on at Gentle Giants and what, if anything, can be done.
