My Work is Done

Reported findings to Chief of Police, City Treasurer, Dept. of AG, and the BBB in their area. Michelle Eskins was sent home after her meltdown in my wife's office. She is the woman that persistently solicited my wife and others at their office to adopt dogs during work hours. Apparently that is her full time job; corporate didn't know that. They do now, since she blew up pictures of our dog with a "RIP Bentley" poster that called my wife and I dog murderers. HR is handling it now. Eskins has a history of instability around the office, it appears. Nothing new to report and I have an investment project that will be taking most of my time now. Had a few days to be Erin Brockovich and hopefully alerted people, involved with the process of placing vicious dogs in society, to the damage that can be done. These people mean well, but, not one of them is stepping up to pay the bills that their negligence caused. When I called for advice they told me to talk to a vet.

Fort Morgan Treasurer and Chief of Police now involved.

Due to the failure of Morgan Humane to accept any portion of responsibility for unleashing a vicious animal into society, I was forced to "follow the money" and report my findings to the city council. What I discovered was that the city pays them for their services, ergo, the tax payers are paying for their services. I emailed the city treasurer/CPA to explain the flaws in the dog adoption process, of course I reiterated my motivation is to help find a solution and it is more or less a courtesy, on my part. I shared that if we had been exposed to much more of a financial setback than we had that I would have sued the company they contracted to act on their behalf. My question to them was "would Morgan Humane try to transfer liability back to the taxpayer, as they had transferred it to me?" I suggested it would benefit them to review their agreement and adoption papers to see what their level of liability actually was. The Chief of Police called last night to have a conversation. I am calling him back now...

Dog Fiasco Update

...and the nightmare continues. The executive director, Crystal Tweeten,  was inappropriately sharing our communication with the dog rescue person from my wife's office. She only told her the part of the story where the dog gets euthanized. The emotionally crippled dog rescue person proceeded to paste a poster, with a picture of our dog on it, that stated we murdered our dog, on the wall at the office.  Due to my wife's position in the organization it had to be immediately escalated to highest level of HR. Woman sent home with possible riffing in her future. These people try and act like they are doing something special and expect to be treated like martyrs. It is easy to help these poor animals when you are doing it on somebody else' dime. In this scenario, the company she works for has been paying for everything, unbeknownst to them of course. In essence, she has misappropriated company resources by volunteering company hours to solicit fellow workers. Getting paid to steal from her employer. Anybody even care about acting ethically anymore? Unreal.

Morgan Humane Society Updates

Sadly, the Morgan Humane organization still refuses to accept any responsibility for adopting out a dog to us that viciously attacked other dogs and people. They are rather nonchalant about the whole affair. We are supposed to accept the fact that these things happen and they have never acknowledged they are part of the problem. They maintain it is nobody's fault, but, my position is that it is entirely their fault. They committed the act without any consideration for the consequences. I am not trying to prosper from this, only hoping to help fix their flawed process. They lie and make excuses. Rather pitiful and I almost feel guilty reporting their behavior to the city council. Appears that taxpayers actually support this organization.

Nice People at Morgan Humane Society

I filed complaints with the parties responsible for passing the attack dog to us. For the record, I think that most of the people involved with Humane Societies are trying to do the right thing. My wife was solicited by one of these people at her workplace. She found out we were in the market for a dog and talked my wife into adopting a dog from her network. During the airing of my grievances, the woman, whose name is Michelle Eskins, was informed by the Morgan Humane Society of my activity. She has taped pictures of the dog in my wife's work area with words stating that we are dog killers.

Morgan Humane Society

Thought I would create blog to document my issues with the Fort Morgan, CO humane society. We adopted a dog thru them that ultimately had to be put down, due to his being a threat to society. The fact that the dog was vicious and prone to biting was not disclosed to us. This may, or may not, have been disclosed by the dog's previous owner, as people without the heart to euthanize their pet will say anything to transfer their responsibility to another party. For example, the intake facility may ask if the dog has a history of biting. The irresponsible owner will lie and perhaps state that the dog doesn't like their cat, or they have a new baby, or Dad got laid off, etc.,.....you get the picture. We have now incurred over $1300 of additional expenses to pay for medical damages the dog caused to other dogs and human beings, not to mention the cost for canine obedience school and hours spent training the dog. The liability should not be mine. Their methods and practices will be reported on in the near future, along with their response. BTW, their initial response to my plea for help was that we were over the 60 return limit and he was my problem now.
