I am exposing a massive, ongoing double standard by the Executive Director, Kathy Powelson. Over the years ( 2021-2026) I have been in this program, Kathy Powelson has repeatedly and consistently asked me for photos of my medically necessary senior dog. She explicitly admits in writing right here: "This helps to raise donations. If you are okay, with it, please send me a photo :)"
Using My Dog as a Financial Asset: And has for years since 2021 This was not a one time favor. Kathy Powelson has constantly used my medically necessary senior dog as a marketing tool to bring in funding and pull on the heartstrings of donors to collect money for her foundation.
Refusing Critical Support: While they are perfectly comfortable collecting donations off the back of my medically necessary senior dog, they completely refuse to help me with the essential care and vaccinations my puppy needs. This puppy needs her vaccines to safely undergo training and become certified as my service dog.
The Hypocrisy: Kathy Powelson will happily exploit a disabled person's senior dog to fundraise, but will turn right around and deny the necessary veterinary support required to transition to a new service animal telling me to wait until my dog passes away to enroll my puppy that would be a certified service dog NOT PET!
Because of this blatant disrespect and corruption, I am formally revoking all consent. Kathy Powelson has absolutely zero right to continue using any photos or imagery of my dog to raise money for her organization while simultaneously threatening my access to care and refusing to help my puppy get the care she needs you could use all the donations you made off my senior girl.
