This is going to step on some toes but you need to know …. If we are going to take Veteran suicide seriously, we have to take the training and selection of service dogs seriously. I started getting private messages from the recipients of other SD organizations, and that’s how this started. These weren’t messages of ungratefullness but somehow possibly through social media they looked at LifeLine’s program and had questions. Most people have no idea really what a service dog is supposed to do or the level of training he/she supposed to have. I would safely guess very few of you have ever truly seen a legitamate service dog, due to the numerous emotional support animals walking around with service dog vests on (a violation of federal law by the way) or the owner trained/organization trained service dog that’s gotten less than just a few months of training. I am not going to publicly name the organizations , that’s not what this is about. This is about tranparency and I am fiercly protective of and have no tolerance for actions that do not truly benefit the Veteran for whom the organization was founded for. Every non-profit organization is required to file Form 990 or Form 990 EZ. After talking with a few Veterans who again were very grateful and just wanted to know if I could some additional training with their service dog. I learned that the training for that team was MINIMAL.. Basic obedience with very little public access work and at a max 3 tasks. That’s what they got. These are respected organizations you’ve heard of and most are “accredited” or “affliated” with self appointed “governing” associations. (LifeLine has a big share on that as well, but for a later post). NO organization should have less than a 75% success rate. LifeLine Service Dogs has a 93% succcess rate and was DENIED a open and competitive government funded, bid opportunity because the norm as reported by other organizations is somewhere between 10% - 50%. The reponse on LifeLine Service Dogs bid focused multiple times and I quote “the apparent success rate”. That was their only issue/concern. I asked the determining decision board to review this information and tried to share and bring awareness to and there was no interest to discover actual facts. Instead we’ve made a discovery…. One of the organizations who won the bid reported a 1.8 million budget , there is no report on how many dogs were enrolled and how many dogs continued on through training for graduation. This isn’t disclosed, however I feel those numbers are important if your supporting an organization who’s gained your support for the Veteran and his service dog. Additionally, this organization went on to pay, with organization funds almost $600,000 to the CEO’s own for profit company, as well as paying two other companies owned by relatives. This organization has recieved recognition on a national broadcast level. See comments for the other organization we looked into for 990 IRS reports.

February 20th may be National Love Your Pet Day, but if your home is one of the nearly 70% that has a pet, you know that you love your dog, cat, or other companion animal every day. But what happens when you aren’t around any longer to love and care for them? Sadly, when pets outlive their owners, they often get sent to a shelter or are turned out to fend for themselves if there’s no plan to ensure their care. While you can’t leave an inheritance directly to your pet, you can create a Pet Trust to set aside money to care for them after you’re gone and appoint a Trustee to carry out your wishes. Show your pet some extra love today by making sure your estate plan includes them too. To learn more, schedule a consultation in English or Spanish with Velasco Law Group now. ‎📞562-432-5541 https://lnkd.in/gme4JRPR #nationalloveyourpetday #dog #cat #pet #pettrust #estateplanning #wills #trusts #attorney #lawfirm #longbeach #irvine #downey

Reality This is what it looks like when you surrender your dog to a shelter. This is from a dog who was dropped off to the shelter after being in a quiet home, with a bed, with a family. This is diarrhea from having an upset stomach. Have you ever been so anxious to the point where you get sick to your stomach? This is a 24/7 feeling for a dog who has been surrendered. “Where is my family?” “Why am I in a cage?” “Why are all these dogs barking at me?” Imagine one day you’re taken from your luxurious life and thrown in prison for no reason, never to see your family again. Did you know 50% of dogs who are surrendered to a shelter don’t make it out? Pets are a lifelong commitment. Do not get an animal if you cannot financially, emotionally, or physically care for one. Newsflash, there is no such thing as a perfect dog or cat. They are expensive and a lot of freaking work. The loyalty of an animal is unmatched. They would never do it to you, so don’t do it to them.

Did you know you can take care of your pets even if you are no longer in this world? When it comes to leaving a legacy for your furry friends, don't leave it to chance. Let Blade & Blade PA help you set up a pet trust that will ensure your pets are well taken care of even when you're not around. #Attorney #PetTrusts #FurFriends #EstatePlanning

WHO TAKES CARE OF YOUR PETS (FURBABIES) IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU? Most of us have “furbabies” – either a dog, a cat (or both) that we consider our family. All of us want something in place to take care of our children in the event that something (God forbid) happens to us in the short term, and we need to know how this would impact the people we love. Did you know that planning for our pets can be done, so that we know that our wishes concerning who will take care of them if we cannot, will take place? Unfortunately, so many people with beloved pets don’t consider this, and family members are forced to turn the pet over to a humane society where they may never find a new “forever” home. Want to more about estate planning and avoid this awful outcome altogether – we offer free consultations to get you the advice you need!
