Run by Saleena Hernandez who keeps too many dogs in her small apartment. Breaking the law by doing so as it is a residential property, NOT commercial. Collecting THOSANDS of dollars in donations without a license to do so, also being reported to New York State Dept of Licensing as well as IRS. Has infected animals come in that have parvo which is easily spread to other animals. Also usues spay wagon to alter animals when it is available, therefore the animals leave her possession without being spayed/neutered for long periods of time. NO LEGIT rescue allows animals out of their possession without first altering these animals. Charges a very large amount to adopt these unaltered animals from her as well, with the adopter "promising" to bring the dog back to her neighborhood when she can schedule the spay wagon to arrive. Not everyone comes that day and therefore these animals remain unaltered and out of sight, out of mind. Also dog in care of her foster was not taken care of properly, got out and was killed by being hit by a car. really, is this the type of person you allow to foster? Is this the kind of rescue you want to adopt from? Not in a million years would i adopt from her, nor give her a dime which she collects illegally. Very shady rescue ethnics and person in my opinion. Proof of events being sent to animal control.

Dont lie Saleena. You know damn well you use the spay wagon WHEN it comes around. I have proof of days you have pulled puppies from the south, and when it was in fact altered, months later, while those dogs were no where in your care. During that time, which they matured enough to breeding age. How many pups COULD have been born during that time? You going to lie about that? You going to lie about running a business from an apartment in a residential area? UNlicensed business. This is all proven and is all reported to the proper agencies. Have you paid your business taxes per NYS laws on running that rescue business from a place that you do not own? Has the Homeowner approved business usage on said property? Does it not bother you that you are collecting THOUSANDS of dollars in chip ins, PERSONALLY. You may never say NOW, that they are tax deductible, but honestly now Saleena, HOW LONG have you been saying your INC is pending as well as your 501? Well over a year. Why is it YOU cannot pull animals from shelters but rely on other rescues with rights to pull FOR you? Hmmmm Saleena? Be honest now, if you can. You wanna lie and deny, go right ahead. The truth will come out in the end and all of your little followers, and ### kissers, will finally see the truth. Also are you going to lie about not picking up after all the dogs when you walk them? Again, punishable by fines according to NYS/NYC laws. Maybe YOU think that living in crates in a cramped space is fine, but to me, that is how hoarding starts. Dont lie and say they dont live in crates either. Where do YOU claim they are when YOU are at work? You know they are not running all over, being happy. Saleena stop your lies. You are NOT a good rescue. You are NOT licensed. ANYONE can get incorporated, in any state. Nice try. Keep backpedaling. Once the truth is seen, you have nowhere to backpedal to.

Funny how once paying to find out if Pibbles And More Animal Rescue or PMAR is available, it is, according to Department of State's Division of Corporations, which means I or anyone else can go down tomorrow, pay the incorporation fee and become PMAR or whatever you call yourself these days.
10 bucks paid to find out was not really hard at all, in fact, well worth it. Also no name is licensed as well with Dept of State OR the IRS. Oh no Saleena, you do NOT need to be 501 to collect funds, that is true. You ARE running a business out of your apartment. What else do you think it is? You are collecting funds which is income, from your apartment. Whatever you use said funds on, is your word. Maybe you may want to take a class on how to spell and read English. The above is horrific to say the least. Also do not think you are any professional on the Pitbull or otherwise. You are far from professional. Keep patting yourself on the back, you need the support.

Oh Saleena if I confronted you in person, you would be behind bars with your boyfriend, or where he USUALLY is. Nice try.

About a month ago my dog attacked a porky pine an I had just paid my car payment so I did not have the money to bring her to re vet. The vet have have me a number for a woman who works at pibbles an more. The woman told me that I could have my dog back an viset her when ever I wanted. Now she says my dog can barely walk an kept comming up with excuses. Now they say my dog is being moved to pa. I calls the Vermont state police an they are going to go get my dog from this woman but nobody will give me her name so they have to track her nnumber. An yet still no contact from the founder of pibble an more

THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO A STORY... AND THIS IS JUST ONE...

Chris Woodcock -FYI - 9/10/13 I have had a hard time getting in touch with his references, he gave me two others and I couldn't get a hold of them either. I did speak to the wife of this reference and she said she would not recommend adopting a dog to him. She said his current dog is not trained and does not listen. He is kept in his crate all the time and Chris just doesn't put in the effort to train him. He had even talked about getting rid of the current dog and getting a new one.

The person who posted this complaint needs TO GET A LIFE! It is so obvious that the person has a "personal" issue w/Seleena! I for one have faith in PMAR and will NOT pay any mind to this nonsense! Just look at their FB page or their website. Always running some kind of fundraiser or something to help these poor animals that would otherwise be left for dead or put to sleep at the shelter! And this woman has a FULL-TIME job! I give her madd props, for lack of a better word! And as far as her boyfriend being in jail? Good people make mistakes and as far as I know, the reason he was in jail had NOTHING to do with the animals welfare or Seleena's rescue. Leave the woman, her children, her man, and most of all, her rescue alone! Who cares how many dogs/cats she has? If she has a few too many, I'm sure it's just a temporary solution til she can place them safely. They are all vetted, loved and well cared for. Find something to do with yourself and get your facts straight before you really hurt someone with your LIES! PMAR ROCKS!

I recently found a lovely puppy by PMAR. I gave them 5 references in total, I followed up with my references who all assured me they called them back. Now, I trust my friends and family to not lie to me about calling a rescue back. I got an email declining my application because they were not able to get in touch with my ref's, and apparently there is a 72 hour limit on applications. I am a proud bully owner already, and the one of my referrences they did talk to gave me a stellar recommendation. But they denied my application without even speaking to me personally, without meeting me or seeing my home. It seems to me that if you are serious about finding good homes for your dogs, you cannot just give up after 72 hours when your volunteers won't take returned phone calls. Like I told Dawn when she emailed me, these people are ridiculous. BEWARE.

I had a horrible experience this week. I will definitely be looking into their practices, the way they treat people is horrific. Hope the dogs are being well cared for. Sorry, this happened to you. We had a heartwrenching experience as well.

Also the puppy was at the hospital because she contacted parvo two weeks after she was placed with PAMR rescue. Our rescue has never had this problem.

I really wish I saw this review before I got involed with this rescue. Wasted two months with this rescue when I could have been actually saving a puppy. They are exteremly disorganized, setting up multiple home visits with multiple volunteers who couldn't follow through. Was lied to and told I was the only person to fill out an application and as long as we passed everything the dog was ours. That changed when I was asked for a deposit and was told there was "hundreds" of applications and I needed to put down a deposit to guarantee that the puppy would go to me. Commented on their Facebook page about our puppy and was contacted by 3 other people saying the puppy was also promised to them. Started to get suspicious and the next day got another call asking for my nonrefundable deposit. I again asked if I put down the deposit that the puppy was mine and was told yes. Got a call from a volunteer who warned us that PMAR does this all the time. That they show a puppy, get hundreds of nonrefundable deposits and then tell you the puppy is no longer and your option is to put your deposit for an older dog or lose your deposit. I thanked her. When they called me back later that day for my deposit, I told them I needed to make sure that the puppy was healthy (puppy was in the hospital) before putting down a deposit. I got an email 8 hours later saying I was declined after being approved to adopt. I work with a rescue here in NJ and have never seen a rescue run this way. I know many rescues are hurting for adopters and donations but this is not the way to go about it. Rescues like PMAR give the rest of us a bad name.

I hope more people file complaints about this rescue, the way they deal with people who are trying to rescue is horrible. I've dealt with the public my entire adult life and this was by far the worst experience I've had to deal with.

Sounds like personal issue to me too, These type of people live for the drama... if there is no drama they will create it only if you let them .. ignore her she is not worth a second of your time, , , she will find drama elsewhere... Thank you Saleena for all that you do to help these loving pets

Maybe Saleena should take a few moments to respond to concerning emails sent to her instead of dismissing people so easily. Horrible way to run a rescue!

This article is a load of crap. I know it's hard to not listen to these horrible things people say but I agree with everyone else pay no mind to her or him. They clearly don't know anything about your rescue! And the fact that she had to bring Katie into this is horrible, accidents happen. It's happen to plenty of people as much as that sucks! Katie was a dog who was rescued and lived an awesome life bc of u and I have one of her puppies and for not one minute do I regret adopting from u! I love my dog and glad u were able to give me an awesome gift. And as for them telling us not to donate to u pshhh if I didn't have financial problems of my own I would love to donate money or foood. Saleena don't end PMAR bc these dogs need u! I see u being the next pitbulls and parolees :)

and btw pamilla we are not her followers or ### kissers we are her SUPPORTERS who love what she does and is thankful
pleaase grow up and take ur personal issure with her somewhere else because this is what is going on here, you clearly have a personal vendetta against her smh how about u grow up or stop hiding behind a computer screen and face Saleena and all her supporters face to face!

Pamilla, it appears that you have some personal issues with Saleena and are trying to take them out on her by writing inaccurate and untruthful comments against her Rescue.

PMAR will be Saleena's legacy, what will yours be? From what I have read you appear to be a miserable, mean-spirited person who has no regard or concern for animals or people. I can only assume you are an adult (obviously not a mature one) and somewhat educated however you must have skipped out on the basic teachings of Humanity 101. How sad and unfortunate for you that you will have gone through your life trying to bully and hurt others who have dedicated their lives to helping defenseless animals.

Remember no one is perfect; however in my dog’s eyes and the eyes of all the other dogs she has saved...Saleena sure as hell is!

This is not the proper format to wage your personal war with Saleena so get over yourself and let Saleena continue to do the good she is doing.

Anyone who has watched PMAR for any amount of time knows Saleena saves Lives. She goes thru amazing changes to do so but you can see by watching the Facebook Wall, like I do, what a wonderful person she is and are all the Fosters working with her.

Wow I can't believe all this ### you are saying about Saleena...like you know her up close and personal? Well I do and you have no idea how much work, time and effort she puts into rescue. You think she takes in thousands of dollars? Do you have any idea what her vet bills are? Animals get sick. ### happens. Dogs can jump 6 ft high fences if they really want to get at something. Does not make the person bad and the lose of a life is the saddest part. You sound like you have an ax to grind with her on a more personal level. Leave the rescue out of it, unless of course you want to help save dogs on death row? No...I know...thats too dirty a job. Why don't you post your address so we can all come and see where and how you live? Sounds fair to me. Or just continue to hide behind a computer...like a little freak.

OMG, HOW DARE YOU ATTACK SALEENA and PMAR! I know who you are too and I swear on my babies lives, Saleena has NOTHING to hide. She does not STARVE her dogs, they are not mistreated. Why must you keep inflicting pain in her life when she saves more dogs in one year with her OWN FUNDS (except when we need to do chipins for the sick). WTF do you do with your money? EAT, EAT, EAT! Saleena has made so many sacrifices in her lives for these babies and she takes them to the vet when she, alone has a temp of 104. She doesn't even take herself to the doctor. I have seen MANY of these bills mind you and they exists (yes, in the thousands). I'm not going to tell you how much was shelled out to vets for PMAR alone this week, but STAGGERING is the word I'll use. More than what you would be willing to spend on a dog. You'd have them PTS, you Piece of ###! Saleena has supporters and you'll never take her down, regardless of the crap you write, you nitless waste of a person.

HELP A DOG, there's an idea and leave this wonderful rescuer alone. BTW, the dogs with Parvo are still in their quarantined house out of state and not even in NY. Yeah, you know soooooo much.

And I helped foster and care for Katie for a couple months before she went to her new foster. Know the facts EXACTLY. If anyone should be upset would be myself, another foster, current foster and Saleena. But since you so nonchalantly brought it up, like Katie was just thrown in front of a truck. That's not what happened. Katie was strong. Katie got loose from the foster (trust me, she's flippin strong). I love that girl very very much and was devestated when she passed, but I do not blame Saleena or the foster that had her at the time. It was an accident! Like when your dog got mauled almost to death by another one. So shut the F up!

What a joke. I know exactly who this is and if she spent even a small bit of her time turning her negative energy into something useful, she might not be such a piece of ###. She won't do that though, so a piece of ### she stays. I can't wait until nothing happens to Saleena and this cowardly ### is infuriated at the end result of her malignant efforts. Or lack of results I should say :)

Btw, by you not putting a name to your accusations, you've basically made them a non-issue. Dumb ###.

Saleena, don't sweat this unimportant person even for a second.

I don't get it! Where do you people come from? It sounds like your spewing a bunch of crap because you claim she didn't pick up after her dog! How ridiculous are you? The only concrete proof or facts you have are what Saleena willingly posted (like the dog that got hit by a car). You don't think that could happen with any foster? Get something straight! I don't care if these dogs were living out of a car or a cardboard box while waiting for a home. THEY WERE GOING TO DIE! And why? Because people like you would rather post negative lies about someone than to help any animals yourself. I've seen people like Saleena that devote their lives, and yes, in some cases, get overwhelmed and bite off more than they can chew to try and save as many animals as possible. In just about all cases that I've seen, they never make enough money to get ahead, they give up a major part of their homes and social lives... all to have someone try to spew ### about her and correct her grammar!

I guess you'd be happy if you could get her in trouble with your endless complaints to whoever will listen so the animals that she has saved could be put down.

How many animals have you saved, you literate ###? I used to be against euthanasia, but in your case, I'd make an exception!

FUNNY YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE PROOF YOU WANT. NONE of my dogs were pasted a certain age when they were s/n'ed.
Oh wait yes Baja as he had a bacterial Infection...
Rocky because his daddy had to work but he was neutered & so was Baja.
I hold clinics 2 times per month for all my animals to be s/n'ed at least I do this myself instead of saying yes i will give you back 50 or 75$ once s/n is proven... I Hold the clinics myself.

No NOT when it comes around. I schedule it to come... Yep my dogs are crated when I am not home... So much you know about pitbulls that I am going to let my 4 dogs run loose all day while I am at work. Yep great Job! And I am going to let my dogs God forbid get into a fight while I am not home... ral smart that would be. It is responsible to have them crated when I am not home...
Hoarding yeah lady whatever. You can go & report whatever you want. I am in the process & to be honest I don't run a business OUT OF MY APARTMENT!
I have 4 dogs count them 4 dogs & a sick little puppy! who will be in foster once she is better...
I do clean up after my dogs... I kind of think I know who you are now!
Yes I said I will be filing soon, BUT OH excuse me if when my rescues get sick I actually have to pay bills. Hoarders don't get there animals treated I do!

Could is your key KEY word. I don't do pediatric spay/neuter & you & no one can make me I do MY rescue the way I want too!
I DON'T NEED TO BE INC OR 501 TO RESCUE ONLY FOR DONATIONS TO BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE... Being INC or 501 don't make you a real rescue...It don't make you a good rescue either.
Thats right ANTONE CAN GET INC IN ANY STATE && ANYONE CAN BE 501.
You keep using my first name like you know me... Saleena this & Saleena that... Your so into what I am doing I am in the process it takes time & money!
Happy I am the center of your attention...

I will say again I have 4 dogs & a puppy, & to be honest PLENTY of rescues adopt out unaltred puppies, I see on plenty of rescue websites stating you will get back this amount from your adoption fee once your puppy is altered & its proven.

Sounds like the writer has a "personal" issue with Saleena...I am all over the rescue sites, never have I seen a negative complaint directed atowards PMAR up until now. Pamilla you need to get a grip on reality & keep the drama that you've made up in your head to yourself. We rescuers and fosters are trying to save lives here. These are all false accusations, a flawed attempt to ruin the crediability of a wonderful woman & her endless efforts to help the voiceless. PMAR, you're doing a fantastic job...don't let this war monger ruin that!

Saleena is one of the hardest working rescuers around, she has saved hundreds of dogs lives with what she does. As far as stealing money, no rescue would run with out donations. Im my eyes you are being a giant [censored], yes i said [censored]. Instead of getting online and bad mouthing someone who cares more about these dogs than most people in this world, go out and save a dogs life.

Wow, Glad you felt the need to post here about my rescue. PMAR is MY rescue. No dog has come to NY with Parvo. MAybe if you read correctly you would see a mom & her babies was rescued from A shelter in another state went into foster care & broke with Parvo which is being treated. Yes Katie got out & was hit by a car with the great sadness I posted that. I do NOT hide anything. Never have & never will.
What happened to Kati was an accident & how many dog owners have had their dogs get loose? How many have had there animal get sick?
I have put in my paperwork for PMAR to be INC & We will be filing for 501 within a month.
Aspca has come to my home to inspect my dogs as people are filing complaints that I starve my dogs. Unbelievable wasting time while dogs ar starved, beaten tied out everyday. Shame on you for making False accusations. Shame on you for wasting the ASPCA's time while they could be checking on real Mis-happenings.
Every rescue Has to start somewhere.
I am doing everything the right way. I don't need to prove myself to anyone as I have worked hard to get PMAR off th ground as for collecting $$ Never have I said I am 501 I always state donations ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
All money is spent on the rescues & i have 1000's of receipts to prove it. This year alone I have spent in excess to 5000 & we are only 20 days into the year!
Spew all the lies you want I know where I stand & all my rescued animals...
