Well wouldn't you look that...

Hope for paws animal foundation

A Special Thank You to Dr. Llewellyn for Delivering My Evidence

The leadership at Hope for paws animal foundation seems to have a serious problem following rules even the ones set by their own legal counsel.

Despite explicit instructions from their own lawyer stating that board members are strictly prohibited from contacting me directly during this active dispute, Board Member Dr. Llewellyn just bypassed his own legal team. He decided to send me a "long-ass email" filled with nitpicking and provocations.

We all know exactly what this was. It was a calculated, toxic attempt to trigger me, cause me undue stress, and push me out of character, knowing full well the mental and physical health challenges I battle daily with severe Fibromyalgia.

But I have a massive, public message for Dr. Llewellyn: Thank you.

The Ultimate Backfire

By breaking legal protocol to send that desperate email, you inadvertently handed me the holy grail of my case. Attached to your communication were Zoe’s complete, official, multi-year veterinary records.

For months, the foundation has tried to push the false narrative that I received "free care" or "charity." Now, thanks to Dr. Llewellyn’s massive blunder, I have the absolute, indisputable financial paper trail right in my hands.

These official records show every single transaction, every date, and every cent that came directly out of my pocket from 2021 to 2026. It proves, in black and white, that free care was never received. Paid financial consideration was routinely provided by me based on our original contract. More importantly, it provides the exact mathematical proof of the unauthorized 33% billing overcharges I have been fighting against.

Playing a Losing Hand

When you try to manipulate and intimidate someone who is divinely protected, your own actions will trap you. You tried to provoke a reaction, but instead, you validated my entire case and handed me the exact exhibits a court of law needs to see.

The formal notice of this legal protocol breach has already been dispatched directly to your lawyer, Ms. Mitchell. The paper trail is locked in, permanent, and will never go away.

To the community members and donors reading this: stay tuned. The truth always finds its way into the light, and sometimes, the people trying to bury it are the ones who hand you the shovel.

Hope for paws animal foundation and better Together program do the right thing

This letter stands as a formal response to your correspondence dated Wednesday, July 29, 2026. The positions and factual assertions maintained by Hope for paws animal foundation and Better Together program are legally flawed, inaccurate, and rejected in their entirety.

1. Contractual Superiority vs. Program Manuals

The assertion that the internal policy manual governs the copayment structure is legally incorrect. A contract establishes enforceable, mutual obligations between parties. The executed contract governing this matter explicitly mandates a strict 20% copayment structure. An informational manual or pamphlet lacks the legal authority to unilaterally alter, supersede, or diminish the terms of an active, executed contract.

To illustrate the flaw in this logic: when a consumer purchases an item that includes an instructional manual, that manual does not retroactively dictate or alter financial copayments post-purchase. Manufacturing administrative rules to bypass a binding contract is a direct breach. A comprehensive financial audit of all billing records from 2021 to 2026 will be required to calculate the exact total of these unauthorized overcharges, and the foundation will be held fully accountable for the funds owed. The distinction between a manual and a contract is clear, and the contract must be abided by.

2. Rejection of the "Free Care" Characterization

The claim that services were provided "at no cost" or as "free charity" fundamentally misconstrues the financial reality of this file.

The only entity receiving resources without charge is the Hope For Paws Foundation Better Together program, via public donors. The community donates these capital assets explicitly to benefit and support vulnerable, disabled citizens. Consequently, the foundation functions purely as an administrative vehicle and a public resource allocated for the community's use; it does not control public funds to use at its whim. The money belongs to the animals, and the community made this resource happen.

Furthermore, free care was never received. Financial obligations were consistently fulfilled out of pocket directly to participating veterinary clinics based on the contractually agreed upon split (20% paid out of pocket, 80% subsidized by community donations). Paid consideration was routinely provided over a five-year timeline for major medical interventions including bladder stone surgery, dental procedures, and specialized dietary food necessary for the prevention of bladder stones. Paid financial consideration establishes ongoing contractual obligations.

3. Total Lack of Contractual Breach and Failure to Provide Specificity

The assertion that the foundation was entitled to cease services is entirely rejected. Strict compliance has been maintained and the contract has never been breached. Conversely, the foundation has failed to provide a single factual, contractually valid reason for this sudden termination.

The dates and timelines provided are entirely fabricated. Furthermore, they are presented with no explanation, no specific times, no names, and no locations detailing what allegedly occurred. Legally and administratively, an organization cannot terminate an agreement based on arbitrary dates without providing a verified record of times, places, and specific actions.

This letter serves as formal notice that highly valuable, indisputable evidence is in hand demonstrating that board members directly violated and breached the contract on numerous occasions. This valuable evidence will be preserved and presented directly in a court of law, where a judiciary will evaluate the systemic pattern of administrative, psychological, and verbal abuse that individuals in this program are forced to tolerate simply to secure vital medical care. Standing up against this mistreatment resulted in immediate, groundless retaliation. The foundation is failing to provide honest information, which will severely compromise the professional position of legal counsel should this matter proceed to public litigation.

4. Practical Realities, Transportation Breaches, and Medical Necessity

The documentation regarding available program resources is factually false. Despite advertised program mandates, transportation resources for vital supplies were never received, forcing the absorption of out-of-pocket Uber expenses to secure basic necessities like dog food.

Furthermore, this continuous, hostile back-and-forth is causing severe, undue medical stress to a disabled individual, which has necessitated immediate documentation by an attending physician. This foundation is funded by the public specifically to protect animals and support disabled individuals who rely on medically necessary dogs. The 13-year-old senior dog requires immediate medical maintenance and special dietary food. Additionally, the incoming puppy being integrated for accessibility and future service dog certification was completely denied enrollment. Terminating a 13-year-old senior animal from a community-funded safety net is unacceptable.

5. Final Civil Resolution Offer

As a board member previously stated, parties do not need to like one another, but they must remain civil. At the end of the day, this matter is about the welfare of the animals, and community donations should be directed toward animal care rather than funding legal counsel to target disabled individuals. A final opportunity for a civil resolution is being offered to prevent the foundation from looking entirely reckless in a public courtroom.

To settle this matter civilly, the foundation must immediately execute the following terms:

1. Re-enroll the 13-year-old senior dog back into the program immediately.

2. Enroll the incoming puppy into the program as a designated service animal.

3. Refund all financial amounts contractually owed due to the unauthorized 33% copayment overcharges.

If these terms are met, the previous contract breaches will be forgiven, and both parties can move past this matter civilly to focus on the animals. If the foundation refuses to cooperate, this matter will proceed directly to formal litigation. A public court file will place all financial audits, internal communications, and valuable evidence into the public record for donors and the community to see.

The foundation has forty-eight (48) hours to respond with a written confirmation of re-enrollment and a resolution plan.

6. Concluding Statement on Public Funds and Intent

To address your comment stating that "Paws for Hope itself was at no cost to you": yes, it was a cost. A 20% copayment was consistently paid out of pocket, while the remaining 80% was covered by community donations. Those donor funds do not belong to the foundation. Your organization is the only entity collecting free money, which is legally and publicly intended for animals and individuals in need not to fund legal mechanisms against them.

Let's get real here: this is about the animals, not lawyers, and donations should not be used to pursue groundless actions. The Hope For Paws Foundation Better Together program is a resource for public support, and both the program and the funding belong to the animals and the people who need them. Let's resolve this immediately so everyone can move on.

Sincerely,

Laura.

Closing Statement

"Please consider this communication my second, last, and final opportunity to reach an amicable settlement regarding the unlawful termination of my 13-year-old senior dog and the refusal to enroll my puppy into the Hope For Paws Better Together program. I will not make further attempts to resolve this outside of a courtroom.

The funds and donations powering the Hope For Paws Foundation belong to the community, specifically intended to keep pets and their owners together. By withholding this essential resource from my senior Papillon and keeping my puppy out of the program, the foundation is violating its own stated mission. I have maintained full contract compliance from 2021 to 2026. The foundation has provided zero evidence of any breach on my part, whereas their own breaches are thoroughly documented.

Be advised that my family doctor is fully aware of this situation. If the refusal to reinstate my senior dog and enroll my puppy forces me to take formal legal action, I will pursue full damages for pain, suffering, and the severe medical impact this process inflicts on my health. Forcing a patient with complex PTSD and fibromyalgia to endure the physical and emotional toll of court proceedings due to personal bias is entirely unacceptable.

I expect the Hope For Paws Foundation to look past personal differences, uphold their contractual obligations, and prioritize the welfare of the animals. If a resolution is not reached immediately, we will proceed to legal proceedings.

The Sun Cleanse and Holding On

Survival Mode: Finding Peace in the Heat After Being Left in the Dark

I am forced to survive. After the Hope For Paws "Better Together" program abruptly and unlawfully terminated my 13-year-old senior dog who has been faithfully in the program since 2021 they also completely denied my new puppy from being enrolled.

Navigating this sudden loss of support is incredibly heavy, painful, and hard on me, but I am trying as hard as possible to keep my mental health together.

The Sun Cleanse: Right now, I am sitting outside, letting the sunshine act as a natural heating pad for my severe fibromyalgia. The heat is soaking into my body to help relax my muscles and get me away from the chaos.

Fighting for My Mental Health: Dealing with severe fibro flares, complex PTSD, and OCD while fighting this situation is not easy. But I am doing everything in my power to keep my mind and body together.

An Amazing Doctor in My Corner: My doctor sees the toll this is taking. He has officially documented every single detail of this situation in my medical records to protect me, and he is fully aware of how vital my dogs are to my life.

This is what survival looks like. I am hurt, I am tired, and the pain is real but I am still here, soaking up the light, and documenting every single step of the truth.

Let me know what you want to change or tweak on this text right now so we can get it exactly how you want it.

Documenting the Truth

Official Updates: Medical Documentation and Standing My Ground just got off the phone with my doctor ....

I am continuing to document every single detail of how the Hope For Paws "Better Together" program handled the sudden termination of my 13-year-old senior dog and puppy.

Medical Team Advised: I just briefed my doctor on the entire situation and the severe impact it has caused.

Official Records Opened: My doctor is now actively documenting these events and the resulting stress in my medical file.

Safety Net Established: This ensures a permanent, official medical paper trail is in place moving forward.

Exercising My Rights: I have an absolute right to speak the truth and share my story publicly.

This long-standing relationship (2021–2026) should have been handled with civil conversation. Instead, I am forced to protect myself health and my animals. I will not be silenced, and I will continue to post every update here.

Hope for paws animal foundation

Unacceptable Termination and Treatment After 5 Years of Program Participation

I am writing to formally address the unacceptable treatment I received regarding my 13-year-old senior dog and puppy.

-Long-Standing Relationship: I participated faithfully in this program from 2021 to 2026.

-Lack of Civility: Sudden termination without civil discussion violates basic professional standards.

-Vulnerable Animals Impacted: This abrupt decision directly harms a senior dog and a growing puppy.

-Expectation of Respect: A five-year history warrants working through issues together, regardless of circumstances.

Dismissing a dedicated participant without trying to resolve matters civilly is completely unacceptable. I expect a formal response and a review of this decision.

Hope for paws animal foundation

Upon reviewing my Better Together agreement, the contract explicitly sets my co-payment at 20% across multiple sections and contains zero clauses granting Hope for paws animal foundation the right to unilaterally alter or increase that rate. Yet, I recently discovered they have been charging me 33%, and I am now forced to comb through all of my past vouchers, receipts, and bank statements to audit the math and figure out exactly how long this overcharging has been happening.

When you sign a contract, you expect both parties to honor the terms. As someone who relies on the Paws for Hope Foundation and their Paws for Hope Better Together Program to help care for my dog and puppy, I trusted that the agreement I signed was exactly what I would be held to. Unfortunately, I made a highly disappointing discovery, and I am sharing this evidence so others can check their own paperwork.

According to the Paws for Hope Better Together Program Enrollment Agreement and Consent Form I signed, my copayment is strictly locked in at 20%.

If you look at the screenshots of my contract (attached below), the language is crystal clear in multiple sections:

Section 1 (Overview of Services): Explicitly states, "Pet guardians are expected to pay 20% of the charges..."

Section 2c (Copayment Agreement): Reinstates this directly above my signature, reading, "I agree to pay the required copayment of 20% of the total invoice..."

Section 5 (Notice of Changes): Outlines rules for changes in income or contact info, but contains zero provisions giving the Paws for Hope Foundation the right to unilaterally alter, adjust, or increase my copay percentage.

Despite this legally binding agreement, I found out today that I have been charged 33% instead of the agreed upon 20%. There is no clause, no addendum, and no warning in my contract that allows them to hike up my copay.

I am currently documenting every instance where this overcharge occurred to establish the full timeline and total amount.

I will be posting updates and further evidence ...in regards to other things as well I not going to stop advocating for my 13-year-old senior dogs medical care my community donates to us and my dogs photos were used for donations as well till I said no take her photos down I'm glad I did after finding out everything that have continue to.

JUST ANOTHER BREACH TO ADD TO LIST OF OTHER NUMOUS BREACHES.

Hope for paws animal foundation

The Truth is Out: Building My Team and Standing Firm

Lately, I have been pouring my entire soul into advocating for my dogs. At the end of the day, that is exactly what this comes down to, my animals, their care, and their well-being. I refuse to let anyone misrepresent the truth, take advantage of us, or use my situation. Whatever has happened behind closed doors is out in the wide open now. I am not a liar, I never will be, and unlike them, I always back up everything I say with hard evidence and proof.

Right now, I am actively building my legal team. I am looking for the right lawyer and am also getting a legal advocate involved to ensure we have a powerful, complete team. I have done this in the past, and I know it is the best way to handle this. The hard work is already moving forward, and I trust the universe will bring the right professional across my path to deal with this matter completely.

The Paws for Hope Animal Foundation and the Better Together program claim online they support disabled people, but what they have done to me is the exact opposite. They have my doctor's note. They know my doctor explicitly stated that my dog is medically necessary for me. They know that cutting off her medical care risks pushing me straight into the ER and the hospital because of how heavily this stress affects my condition. Yet, they have no care in the world about how they harm people's lives or affects them.

Again actions speak louder then words and no actions speak louder.

They need to seriously educate themselves. They need a Human Resource coordinator to teach them about mental health and disabilities like fibromyalgia, complex PTSD, and severe OCD. Right now, this entire situation has caused my fibromyalgia to flare up so severely that my vocal cords are strained and I can barely even talk. It is completely obvious they are stating lies, like claiming I got medical care for free when everything is documented, just to trigger me, provoke me, and try to get me to react out of character because they know I have mental health challenges.

Executive Director Kathy Powelson used the exact opportunity when Dr. Llewellyn was away for three weeks to push this termination through. She is a deeply mean person who speaks to people with zero dignity or respect, completely on a power trip for the last year. But it is not just her. There are others who contributed to my 13-year-old senior girl to losing her medical care while pretending they love her. I have made sure every single one of those people has been called out. I am not leaving a single person out, and I am not hiding or denying anything for anybody.

Despite the exhaustion, the raspy voice, and the physical toll, the door is wide open now. I am still here, still standing, and building the team to get the justice my dogs deserve.

Hope for paws animal foundation

Not one single word from the lawyer not one single word from the organization about the vouchers and about them charging me 33% instead of 20% like it states in my contract just the numerous breaches and then on the termination June 2025 saying that I had a warning which I got threatened by Executive Director Kathy Powelson because I was in pain and said that going to the clinic for 9 months straight every week is too exhausting on me at the time I thought I had sciatic nerve pain but it was actually fibromyalgia pain and this is all documented I have all this all documented in an email and then the February 25th 2025 have no idea what they're talking about and then stating that July 14th I asked for a review why the hell would I ask for a review about a blog post termination you can't terminate somebody for something they do outside of the scope of the program it's just like you Executive Director Kathy Powelson there's a photo of you standing with somebody with wine a glass of wine and you're supposed to be working and you're drinking alcohol interesting you want to talk about what people do outside of the scope of the program well why don't we talk about that trust me there's lots of things that I know more than you think I do and I'm telling you right now I'm not going to give up I'm not going to stop and if you think I'm going to I'm not this is going to go to court this is going to eventually you know have to go in front of a judge this is going to eventually have to have lawyers involved and everything else I mean you guys already have your lawyer your lawyer doesn't seem to like to do her job and doesn't like to respond to people just like you guys don't she's just as bad as you guys are and you know what I'm saying my truth and I'm saying the truth and that's all I can do and that's all I ever will do on this blog this blog is my blog I'm literally sitting here gasping for air because my fibromyalgia is so flared up and you know I have other health related issues that I don't want to talk about that are personal but you know the stress and anxiety from all of this is just you know making my health deteriorate faster and faster and more worse and more worse and at the end of the day I don't give a s*** about myself I don't give a s*** about my health at the end of the day what matters to me is that my dog my 13-year-old senior and my puppy has the care and the medical care that they desperately need and deserve from the community the community donates to you know people like me you guys stated on your website and you guys held a bunch of resources from me well in the program I approved for that as well I have the call recorded with Cassie Preston I have everything documented so I'm not worried I'm not worried like that in the sense it's just what I'm worried about is how you guys can't be civil for the sake of an animal or for the sake of animals you know you guys are making this about money making this about yourself you know it shows a lot about a person's character when they go silent and they don't say anything they just completely shut you out you know it's really really devastating that an organization like Hope For Paws Foundation Better Together program is supposed to help people like me with fibromyalgia complex PTSD severe OCD asthma and other health related problems and you know you guys have no idea the effect that you guys have put on my life you have no idea the effect that you put on my mental health you have no idea how much you've affected my physical health you don't know how much you are going to affect me financially I'm on disability and you know I'm on a strict income and as you can see in my previous blog post my previous vet passed away last month so you know there's that to you and honestly I want you guys to pay for what you guys have done to me the bullying the harassment the stalking the watching you know just everything I already have everything documented on here that's why soon as I knew that you know Dr Llewellyn was going to be away for 3 weeks I was like oh God here we go Executive Director Kathy Powelson she's going to take the opportunity to terminate me and what I tried to have a conversation with her she was yelling at me raising her voice at me and you know that's why you know I turned to my blog and I turn to my blog for numerous reasons that I don't need to explain myself to you why I come to my blog and why I write on my blog you guys are the ones that are watching you guys are the ones that are you know reading my blog you know like you guys are like it's almost like you guys are trying to find something it's like it's so weird like you know all all you're going to find on here is the truth and all you're going to find on here is me showing proof and evidence of you guys stealing from me you guys lying you guys preaching the contract numerous times like we're not talking one time numerous times and then giving me two termination papers in in the span of you know 10 days like it's just ridiculous you give me one and then 10 days later you turn around and give me another one like what is wrong with you like you know it's just you can tell by someone's actions that they're not doing it at a good faith and they're not doing it because that person actually did something wrong they're grasping at straws they're looking for something and she took the opportunity as I say she I mean Executive Director Kathy Powelson she's been at it for the last year and she was like up Dr llewellyn's gone for 3 weeks better jump on it you know it's just it's you know and then it's unfortunate that you know he stepped down and he stepped down cuz he was tired of the drama he wanted to focus on animals I have the recording and I don't blame him you know Kathy all you do is cause drama that's all you do is create and cause drama that's all you do soon as you don't like someone you just start nitpicking and trying to find a way to get them out of there and push them out of the program and you know what it's not about you it's not about me it's about the animals that suffer the consequences of your actions and your choices and your decisions like you know this is a foundation that is supposed to be founded on animals and keeping animals you know with their with their owners and pets with their owners you know anybody can go on your website and read that like you know and you say you do all these things and everything else but it's all a bunch of b******* you guys just try to make it sound good and make it sound like you guys do all these things and you guys don't you lie you lied to get donations and eventually people will catch on to that and I'm not scared of your lawyer I'm not scared of you guys I'm not scared of any of you at the end of the day I believe that karma is real what comes around goes around and you get what you give and eventually things will come back around and I am a strong believer that you know the universe puts people in your life for a reason and the universe puts you in situations for a reason and there's a reason why you know this is happening and I mean this has been happening for a year but obviously it's escalated to the point where you know there's literally people stepping down and people not wanting being wanting to be a part of your show Executive Director Kathy Powelson and mark my words I'm telling you right now you're not going to last very long with the way that you treat people and the way that you treat animals and cause harm to people and harm to animals you don't realize like I said the fact that you put on people and the effect that you can put on an animal and I know that you know you're obsessed with my dog and you always have been and maybe you're doing this in a way that you know I'll surrender my dog or something you'll never get my dog I'll tell you that much right now it's never going to happen you have been completely disgusting in the way that you act disgusting in the way that you treat people I have the emails I don't have anything deleted from 2021 all the way to now I don't have anything deleted everything is all documented so you know you're up against someone that has all the documentation you don't cuz you guys have all these people as you say trying to get enrolled and they can't and you have all these emails and stuff so you've got all my emails and everything all lost and all these other emails so you'll never be able to find the emails that I have you'll never be able to find the evidence and proof that I have trust me I know that for a fact and you know that works in my favor and that's going to come in my favor and I mean it already has a few times I've already shown screenshots and I've already posted stuff so you know all you have to do is take a read of my blog and go through everything from beginning till now and just see how bad that it's escalated and is going to continue to escalate it's not going to get any better it's going to get worse before it gets better because what you guys are doing is stripping somebody from the community where the community is donating to that person you can't take that away from that person and it's not even the person it's the dog you know it's not for me the money isn't for me like you know the enrollment isn't for me it's for my dog you know it's for my 13-year-old senior dog and for my puppy that is going to get certified you know and don't act like you guys don't have the funds I've watched your guys's website $100 here $150 here and other $50 here another $100 here $250 here $100 here $50 here like literally every f****** like I don't know like every couple like every 30 seconds every minute like this is constantly going on and you're going to act like you don't have money and then you got on your Facebook all these big old checks and everything else like you guys are not hurting for money you don't have issues with money you guys did in the past yes but i g i wonder why I mean you guys make all these stories and put up all these stories and make it look like you guys are doing all these positive things but behind closed doors the way that you treat people in their animals like my dog like I said is medically necessary and then my puppy is going to be certified as a service dog is not like you know I have two pets these are working animals these are animals that I cannot live with you guys have my doctor's note my doctor's note even States that I can end up in the ER maybe I should post that actually both of my doctors know showing that you know without my dog you know I could end up in the ER and they and you guys know that and you guys could care less you guys do not care at all and it's f****** disgusting and I don't care that I swear if I want to talk the way that I want to talk on my blog I'm going to you can't judge somebody based on the way that they talk I can barely even talk right now actually because you know I'm starting to lose my voice but you know I'm able to get the word out advocate for my dog advocate for my puppy and my little senior girl and my puppies are going to be okay I know someone's going to come along and someone's going to help and I know I'm going to get the help that I need and I know that it's going to be it's going to be somebody big and it's going to be someone that is going to say listen you've been wrong by this program this program has treated you like s*** and they've been doing it for years and then we're not talking like I've been in this program for a year like I've been in this program for nearly you know for well actually nearly 5 years almost 6 years so like you know I'm not just some random person I just you know started in the program like I know the contract I you know know that you guys have done things you guys are not supposed to do don't even have a human resource coordinator the person that's causing all the conflict you want me to talk to that person to resolve the conflict you don't go to the problem to resolve the problem make that make sense but you know what I think this is good enough for now and I am going to continue to document what goes on it's only you know 7:00 a.m. almost 7:30 and you know it's another day and I will continue to fight I will continue to advocate for my dog I will continue to do everything I can in my power for her and my puppy and you know I'm the type of person where if I have to hold back on my puppy just because you know this whole situation is going on then that's what I have to do and you know I've already spoken to the person with the puppy and if I have to inquire a different puppy for a different time than that's what I'll have to do and that's what I will do because I'm a responsible person I'm not going to bring in a puppy into a situation where all of this stuff is going on right now my main focus is my senior girl and I got to focus on her before I can focus on a puppy right now but it's it's going to happen and it will happen it's just I got to let the universe you know do its thing.

Reclaiming My Voice: No Longer Silenced

Below are the screenshots of the reviews I left for both Tynehead Animal Hospital and Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital.

As you can see with the Tynehead review, I actually had to post it a second time. They somehow managed to get my original review deleted, so I stepped up and reposted it. I am putting these here because I am finally able to speak up. I am finally able to write reviews, speak the truth, and not have to hold things in or bottle things up anymore. For a really, really long time, having to hold all of this in and being constantly threatened was severely affecting my mental health.

None of this is fabricated. None of this is made up. None of this is lies. This is all the absolute truth.

For years, I was told I had to be quiet, and I was threatened that if I didn’t stay quiet, I would be kicked out of the program. My dog's medical care was directly used as a threat against me. It feels so incredibly good to actually be able to speak my truth now and not be silenced anymore. It feels empowering to finally have my voice back and to be able to tell people my truths.

To be honest, I already saw this coming over the past year. I knew that Kathy Powelson, the Executive Director, was going to find a way to get me out of the program one way or another. If you check my previous blog posts, I actually anticipated this exact moment. I wrote before that I could feel it coming. I knew that with Dr. Llewellyn being gone on holidays for three weeks, she was going to take that exact opportunity, jump on it, and say, "Yep, this is my opportunity right here to get her kicked out of the program."

If Dr. Llewellyn was still the President of the Board of Directors, I don't think we would be in this situation at all. But he removed himself from the drama, the stress, and the anxiety because he just wanted to focus on the animals, exactly like he said. Do you really think an animal lover like him would want to do this? Come on, that man is the only one who actually, truly cares about the animals.

It is just so unfortunate that while he is still a board member of the Paws for Hope Better Together program, his hands are tied because of the program. People like him don’t come by very often. He was just like my previous vet who passed away very caring, very loving. But it’s unfortunate that people are controlled by certain individuals and have to abide by certain rules.

It is what it is. There’s not much you can really do about that part; you just have to go on with life. I wish things didn’t end up the way that they are, but it is going to be incredibly empowering to finally talk. Whether I decide to go the civil tribunal route or the full court route so that it is a completely documented public record, I am finally going to sit in front of them and tell them the absolute truth of what has been going on behind closed doors.

As they say, what is done in the dark always comes to the light.

Hope for paws animal foundation

Before I get into the facts of the situation, let me make something abundantly clear, especially to the legal counsel representing Hope for paws animal foundation and Better Together program who may be taking screenshots of this page.

This blog is my personal space. I use it for cognitive behavioral techniques to manage my complex PTSD, severe OCD, and fibromyalgia. What I write is entirely out of the scope of the Better Together program, whether this blog is public or private. It doesn't make a difference. It is an exercise of my freedom of speech, and I deal exclusively in the truth. If anyone wants to try and submit my personal coping mechanisms as evidence in my contract dispute, be my guest. The Civil Resolution Tribunal is there to rule on a breach of a legally binding contract, not to police my freedom of speech or what I do in my private life outside of the scope of the program.

Now on the facts.

If you have been following my situation with the Paws for Hope Foundation and the Better Together program, you know how I have been dealing with blatant breaches. Not just one breach, not just two, not just three, not just four, numerous breaches of my enrollment agreement. Today, the situation escalated, and it speaks volumes about how this organization operates behind closed doors.

My contract clearly states I was responsible for a 20% copay. Instead, I go to check my last voucher that I had gotten for food, and I see on the corner it said 33% copay.

Despite having undeniable documentary evidence of this breach and numerous breaches of contract, I decided to take the high road. I sent a formal settlement offer to their legal counsel. It was a genuine opportunity to resolve the monetary overcharges and the wrongful terminations out of court. I laid out clear, reasonable terms and gave them a strict 24 hour deadline to respond.

Their deadline came and went at 4:51 PM. I sent the email yesterday at 4:51 PM, and they had until 4:51 PM today, and zero response.

Instead of taking accountability, negotiating, or even acknowledging the documented proof of their breaches, Paws for Hope Foundation and their legal counsel chose complete silence. Paws for Hope Foundation and the Paws for Hope Foundation Better Together program once again chose to ignore a resolution and force the issue to continue. Again, like I said, this has been going on for a little over a year now, but there have been other things that have gone on for the last four years, almost five years that I have been in the program from 2021 to 2026.

When an organization is presented with black and white evidence that they overcharged a client and broke their own contract, their response tells you exactly who they are and their character. They do not want to resolve the issue. They want to avoid accountability, and the fact that they stole money from me has me completely shocked. I am a person on disability, and I already struggle paying 20% I still struggle to pay.

Since they refused a good faith settlement, my next step is formally filing a claim with the Civil Resolution Tribunal. The public deserves to know how the Paws for Hope Foundation Better Together program truly treats the people they claim to support and help. And I will not stop speaking the truth until the facts are laid bare.

And the more I dig and the more I look into things, the more I find. The more breaches, the more lies, the more stealing, the more neglect, the more threats, the more gaslighting, the more manipulation, and the list just goes on. It just shows I am sorry, but I have to be honest, very narcissistic traits. And if they are treating me this way, I truly believe that they are treating other people this way. And I truly believe that there are a lot of other things that are going on behind closed doors that are going to come to light.

As they say, what is done in the dark always comes to the light.

Formal Update Regarding My Dispute with Hope for paws animal foundation

Yesterday July 26/2026 at 4:51 p.m., I delivered a formal Without Prejudice settlement offer to legal counsel for Hope for paws animal foundation and better together program concerning my dispute with the hope for paws foundation Better Together Program. The purpose of that correspondence was to provide an opportunity to resolve this matter without the need for litigation. A 24-hour deadline was provided for a written response, expiring at 4:51 p.m. today July 27th/2026.

As of the time of this publication, I have not received a response.

From the outset, I have made every reasonable effort to address this matter professionally, respectfully, and in good faith. Rather than immediately commencing legal proceedings, I chose to extend an opportunity to resolve the dispute through settlement. In my view, litigation should be a last resort where a fair and reasonable resolution cannot be achieved.

It remains my position that there have been repeated breaches of my contractual agreement with the Better Together Program, including charges that exceeded the copayment set out in my enrollment agreement. I have documented the relevant communications, payment records, program documentation, and other supporting evidence. Those materials have also been discussed throughout my blog and will be relied upon, where appropriate, in any legal proceedings.

Should no response be received by the expiry of the 24-hour deadline, I intend to proceed with filing a claim through the Civil Resolution Tribunal. I have also sought assistance from a pro bono lawyer and a legal advocate and will continue to pursue the legal remedies available to me.

This matter has had a significant impact on my health and well-being. I live with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), asthma, and other medical conditions. The ongoing stress associated with this dispute has affected my health, and its impact continues to be documented by my treating physician.

My objective has always been to achieve a fair and lawful resolution. I remain willing to resolve this dispute through appropriate legal and professional channels. However, if no meaningful response is received, I will proceed with the appropriate legal process and allow the evidence to speak for itself.

I will continue to provide factual updates regarding this matter as it progresses.

I am deeply concerned about the impact that continued legal proceedings will have on my health. Living with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), asthma, and other significant medical conditions, the stress associated with this dispute has already had a substantial effect on my physical and psychological well-being. If this matter proceeds to the Civil Resolution Tribunal because it cannot be resolved through settlement, the additional time, stress, and demands of litigation will likely further exacerbate my existing medical conditions. These impacts will be documented with ny treating physician and may form part of the evidence presented in support of my claims. It remains my sincere preference to resolve this matter fairly, professionally, and without the need for further legal proceedings. Unfortunately, if a reasonable resolution cannot be achieved, I will have no alternative but to pursue the legal remedies available to me.

My Dog is a 13-year-old senior. dog not 11 years.

Upon reviewing my Better Together agreement, the contract explicitly sets my co-payment at 20% across multiple sections and contains zero clauses granting Paws for Hope the right to unilaterally alter or increase that rate. Yet, I recently discovered they have been charging me 33%, and I am now forced to comb through all of my past vouchers, receipts, and bank statements to audit the math and figure out exactly how long this overcharging has been happening.

Well I received a call from Dr Llewellyn missed hes call as I have Scottsdale Veterinarian Clinics number blocked 🚫 so he left me a voice mail I sent him a email and well see what this about as

And I thought from you're termination papers you stated : You will note that Dr. Llewellyn is not responding to your correspondence personally, not withstanding his role as President of the Board. Dr. Llewellyn is also the treating veterinarian responsible for Zoe's medical care, and your correspondence raises both the termination dispute and matters concerning that ongoing medical relationship together. To avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest, the Board has asked me, as Vice President, to act as the point of contact for this matter and to respond on the Board's behalf.

See another example Dr Llewellyn can contact me left a voice then spoke to him with that call is recorded to things are only okay if you decide they are or aren't like make you're mind you continuously, go back on your word.You say one thing, and then do another.

Turned out Dr Llewellyn thinks I can afford his clinic prices paying 80% copay for a 13-year-old senior dog and a puppy and the clinic covers 20% that's what hope for paws foundation and hope for paws better together program pays is 80% and I pay 20% but I recently found out they've been charging me 33% not 20% which is another breach on our contract what a surprise. Not.

Response back to Kathy Powelson and this the list of board members :

And not one of these board members stood up and said anything, they sat back and let Kathy Powelson terminate, my 13-year-old senior dog.

Again, here is a response.

That i'm going to write in regards to Kathy Powelson telling me to wait until the 20th.

Absolutely not, Dr Llewellyn we'll be back on the 16th, but I am going to go ahead and send this email to the board members and Dr Llewellyn which is my 13-year-old seniors, dogs veterinarian, he is the one that took on her care and took all the responsibility of her. So i'm gonna go and head and share the response with him as well Because i'm not waiting until the 20th .I no longer want to communicate with Kathy Powelson I will be civil with her. But I am going to ask that somebody else take on my case. There is no human resource coordinator as I've expressed before. So, you know, someone else needs to step in.And take that position until a human coordinator is put in place.Because kathy Powelson has become

Very controlling, very manipulative, and the fact that she terminated me. It isn't actually me that she's terminated. She's terminated a 13-year-old. Senior's dog medical care and for her to do that is just like she's been doing since 2024 enough is enough. This needs to stop, you know, you know, there comes a point where, you know, there's a pattern of behavior and there's a pattern of behavior that, shows the person's intentions you know by their choices, actions and decisions they are becoming very unhealthy and hope for paws better together program environment is bring affected And she talks about harassing conduct, but meanwhile she's using my blog that is outside of the scope of the program to terminate a 13-year-old senior dog. I mean, I'll let that speak for itself. But here is my response to the board members. And obviously in response to the email that I received from Kathy Powelson telling me I have to wait until the 20th, which is completely unacceptable.

Dear Board Directors, and Dr. Shawn Llewellyn,

I've attached the email response I received from the Executive Director, Kathy Powelson, in which she attempts to defer this matter until her return on July 20th which I feel is a stall tactic I am addressing this to all of you, including Dr. Shawn Llewellyn, to formally state that this delay is unacceptable. By attempting to move this conversation away from you the Board members into a separate, private email , Kathy Powelson is engaging in isolation tactics that prevent Board members from exercising their necessary oversight. I will not accept a delay until the 20th for a matter that is both urgent and contractually invalid. Formal Notice of Dispute:

The termination dated July 6, 2026, which I received via both email and registered mail, was enacted without cause and in direct violation of the Better Together Enrollment Agreement.

The grounds cited for my termination involve actions taken entirely outside the "scope of the program." My activities on my personal blog do not constitute grounds for termination under our signed contract.

Per the program’s policies, any alleged violations of respect are to be investigated and substantiated before action is taken; this process was completely bypassed, as I received no warning, no phone call, and no human resources ( which doesn't exist )involvement prior to the delivery of these termination papers. Invasion of Privacy and Misconduct:

Kathy Powelson’s decision to monitor and extract content from my personal, private blog which is entirely outside the scope of the program to justify the termination of my senior dog’s medical care is an egregious invasion of my privacy. This is an inappropriate misuse of her position. It is clear that this action was driven by personal bias rather than any contractual failure. I am no longer willing to operate in fear or accept threats against my dog’s medical stability based on the personal feelings of Kathy Powelson. Collective Failure of the Board:

Let me be unequivocally clear: not one member of this Board has stepped up to challenge this improper termination. Not one of you has spoken out to state that this action is wrong,

This pure example the board vice president says she can't override Kathy Powelson decision you all make decisions together as Board members and Kathy Powelson makes yes alot decision but the board of directors president Dr Llewellyn makes the ultimate decision.

This is and was a termination without cause, or that it is a fundamental violation of the agreement to apply program standards to activities occurring entirely outside the scope of the program. Your collective silence in the face of this injustice is not merely passive; it is an endorsement of the conduct of Kathy Powelson.Escalation to the President and Request for Interim Oversight:

Dr. Shawn Llewellyn, as President of the Board and the individual currently responsible for Zoe’s medical care, I am escalating this matter directly to you. I expect you to contact me immediately upon your return on the 16th to resolve this. This matter requires a formal investigation into the conduct of Kathy Powelson and a total review of the management of my case. I am profoundly disappointed in every member of this Board for allowing this situation to escalate since July 6th without intervention.I have reviewed the professional backgrounds of every member of this Board. Given the absence of a Human Resource Coordinator and the irreparable breakdown in the working relationship between Kathy Powelson and myself, it is imperative that the Board intervenes. Dr. Shawn Llewellyn, I am requesting that you personally appoint a member of the Board to serve as an interim Human Resource coordinator to point of contact until a permanent coordinator is in place and find someone best suited to provide the strict rule enforcement and compliance oversight required here. I have attempted to remain civil and work with Kathy Powelson, but it is clearly her pattern of behavior actions and choices prove otherwise and that she has utilized your absence to act in a manner that is professionally and ethically indefensible. This situation requires someone who will look objectively at the contract and recognize that procedural rules were violated. It is not acceptable for the Board to remain silent while these transgressions occur; I expect immediate action and professional, objective oversight from a director who understands how to audit a failure in organizational policy and not stall the situation any longer then it already has the way that im being treated and them on top of it zoe my 13 year old senior dog's medical care is being put on hold ive been trying to arrange to get her blood work done like Dr Llewellyn wanted this summer plus with a new puppy on the way we need to discuss vaccinations and risks Dr Llewellyn I left you a message june 25th 2026 was staff. The day before you were supposed to leave for three weeks. In regards to this matter and I did not get a phone call back from you. Nothing, no response whatsoever. So I hope that when you return on the 17th, that we can have a discussion in regards to that matter. And then also, what will be happening moving forward.

Sincerely,

Laura Justice.
