I knew Tulp, Philly and Hunny very well.
They were obedient, had excellent dispositions, were sweet mannered, affectionate and they were housebroken (when allowed outside their crates and the opportunity to unrinate/defecate outdoors). They graciously appreciated whatever attention you could spare.
In addition to having no significant behavioral issues..... they were young and had no medical problems.
He made little to no effort to place these dogs .... always focusing on a better, more heartwarming story (where the before and after pictures were more remarkable) OR the easier adoption (puppies).
With all the contradictions he has made regarding these missing dogs on his forum and to individuals in pms, emails and phone conversations, I can see no other conclusion except that they were killed.
I STILL find this ALMOST unbelievable having personally known these wonderful dogs AND given his resources and expertise in dog rescue.
He could have at least warned the rest of us who knew him well (myself, Cecy, etc) of what was about to happen. With an urgent plea, we would have helped.
I can not imagine he is at peace with this, but ... who knows when one makes comments about lost adoption fees.
How does any animal lover have a dog in their care for over a year and not be emotionally attached?
And if we are wrong .... then shame on you, Eric, for wasting everyone's time racking their brains trying to figure it out.
There are a lot of curious people who have been kind and extremely generous to you with their financial support of your organization.
