I just had a very disappointing experience with Mariam. Did everything I was told to do, completed an application with my signature. They contacted me at 8:30 pm to pick up my foster, I asked if it was okay to do it in the morning, to which they agreed and was told Mariam would contact me. Waited anxiously all day, and then at 6:30 pm got an email stating that the dog I was promised was adopted. I’m happy about that, but after all they required of me, I would expect some professionalism in return. I’m still going to foster, but not through them!

In reply to Millette. I have tried to get these sites to kick off sketchy rescue groups but it's very difficult to get them to take action. I'm looking into whether or not anything can be done so they will kick more of them off.

I just find this post on RescueMe.org, and I think this is same organization/ person you mentioned here. This dog is in Oklahoma but only adoptable in Oregon and it will be transported to OR somehow. It is very suspicious. I tried to contact RescureMe. Org but I could not find email address/contact. Can you do something to prevent a scammers to rip off money ?

In reply to Joseph. I'm glad you got a healthy dog from Desiderata. Lots of others haven't been so lucky.

I adopted an amazing dog from Desiderata rescue who was healthy and rescued from a horrific life. Miriam Kelley has nothing but love for animals, so much so that she goes without to make sure they are ok. Shame on you for only showing the bad stories, things happen.

In reply to Actual animal lover. You can't sue for defamation because someone told the truth, but I'll defend what I wrote in court if that's necessary.

In reply to Laura. I actually planned to take3 a break from the website until the end of the the year but people keep sending me information about Desiderata. If I was getting information about other deceptive rescues I would write about them too but right now the only one I hear about is DR.
