Luke's Refuge

Announcement: A New Chapter Begins with Luke’s Refuge

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We have an important update to share with you. Our page, which has been known as "Return Luke Home" will now be called "Luke's Refuge"

Many of you know the story of Luke, the dog who touched our hearts in ways we will never forget. After we rescued Luke and nurtured him back to health, he was cruelly stolen from us. Despite our efforts, Luke was never returned. His story has been one of heartbreak, but also one of hope.

In honor of Luke and the love we have for him, we’ve made the decision to continue his legacy by creating a safe haven for other neglected, abused, or abandoned dogs: Luke's Refuge will be dedicated to helping others dogs in need to also be cared for, loved, and provide the safety they deserve, just as we had provided for Luke.

We are also proud to share that Luke's Refuge is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation and registered as a charity with the state of South Carolina. Additionally, we have applied for 501(c)(3) status, and once approved, this will enable us to accept tax-deductible donations While our 501(c)(3) application is pending, please note that any donations made during this time will not be tax-deductible. Your contributions will still make an incredible difference in helping us care for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your support!

This new chapter is deeply personal to us, and we are committed to making a difference in Luke’s name. Thank you for being part of this journey, and we hope you will join us in this mission to provide a safe haven for dogs in need.

With gratitude 🐾
Luke’s Refuge
A Safe Haven for Neglected, Abused, and Abandoned Dogs.

We have both been struggling to create a update/post of the reality of what has been done to us. It has been really hard given the fact we both love Luke and miss him so much. To read through all the documents and see lie after lies, manipulation, and deception is honestly disheartening. This is a miscarriage of justice with allowing For the Love of a Paw and their board members to move our dog Luke out of state with no reprecussion or being held accountable. Attached is a link to Luke’s blog which has a update to the timeline of our filings with the court. We are very heartbroken there really are no other words to describe this pain.

https://returnluke.com/court-update/

We have been struggling to post this update. As you read through the court filings and the documentation to validate that in our opinion and have always maintained that Brandy Beach Hudson and the board members of For the Love of a Paw (FLOAP) in which she is a director are manipulative, deceptive,....

What a true testament to helping not only the dog but the owner (true rescue) and not passing judgment on this teens situation. They seen the bigger picture and took the time to see the love and bond between the dog and it’s OWNER. They didn’t condemn the teen instead they put their ego aside and saw a need… this shelter could have created a post with derogatory, condemning, and judgmental remarks and statements about the backstory of this situation however they rose above and that’s what a true rescue and non profit organization does. It’s about helping the community and it’s animals. The human component cannot be ignored in rescue.

For the Love of a Paw did not do a home inspection, did not know our living situation or fact of the matter Luke’s living situation… Why? Because Luke belonged to Jerry he was in fact rescued and surrendered to Jerry. manipulated in order to deceptively steal Luke that never had a family before and Luke finally found love, trust, and safety. Food for thought: If had an actual legal ownership claim they would have had documentation proving their claim and that would then mean that they could have: #1 been able to remove Luke from our home or #2 filed a claim in court just as we did. They choose to be manipulative and deceptive. Their actions seen and unseen prove this and all will be revealed. I promise we are fighting for Luke everyday. We have so much to update through research and investigations. So much has happened and we are currently updating Luke’s blog and will publish and share all the facts of his case that has been uncovered when we get our day in court. That day is coming 🙏🏻 thank you everyone who is checks up on us and keeps us in their thoughts and prayers truly means so much to us both.

Today marks the anniversary when manipulatively and deceptively stole Luke under the guise of a follow up veterinarian appointment.

We have been struggling with all of this emotionally and psychologically. One of the hardest things we have ever had to do, is grieve the loss of a loved one who is still alive. In this case; Luke. We miss him so much and cannot wait to see him again.

We have been contacted by several people asking about an update about Luke’s case. Several developments have occurred in Luke’s case. We plan to share ALL the facts that has came to light through this ordeal. What we can share is that for the love of a Paw’s CFO and Treasurer at the time of Luke’s theft has stepped down and is no longer representing For the Love of a Paw as their attorney and is no longer listed as ’s CFO/treasurer with the Secretary of State. We are awaiting for our court date to be rescheduled and will share the facts that has been gathered once we do have our day in court. Thank you to all who check in with us, keeps us in your thoughts and prayers, and sees the injustice and pain this has caused to us.

Luke means luminous; bringer of light and truth. Our boy Luke is truly living up to his name and is continuing to shed light and truth into our world. 🙏🏻

Today marks the anniversary of when Jerry rescued Luke. Jerry stepped up and took the initiative to save Luke. When everyone else looked the other way Jerry did what no one else would do… to include For the Love of a Paw. Poor Luke was less then 1/4 mile from building and disturbingly he had been there for so long sadly Luke must have became part of the scenery. It took Jerry starting a new job in this area to spot Luke, and help him. A fresh set of eyes to spot this broken helpless soul. After spotting Luke, Jerry started to stop on his way to work, and share with Luke not only his breakfast but his lunch breaks. Then on October 6, 2020 a year ago today Jerry worked up the courage and took the INITIATIVE to ask Luke’s owner if he could have him? Jerry walked into Luke’s life as a stranger but became not only Luke’s hero, but his friend, and family. Jerry did what no one else would do - care enough to save him; advocate for him, be his voice, and Jerry PROVES it everyday by providing the care, love, concern and to fight for him. We might be quiet on social media the last few days, I assure you we have been behind the scenes advocating and fighting daily for Luke’s return. We will keep fighting for Luke that is our promise to him For the Love of a Paw manipulatively and deceptively stole Luke from the very person who took the initiative to remove him from his hopeless and helpless situation… Luke was stolen from his hero who did something about his situation! Otherwise can you imagine if Jerry had been like everyone else and just keep driving by…. and do NOTHING? It’s evident up until this point nothing obviously had been done.

What does it mean to “rescue” an animal?
The verb sense of the word defined by dictionary.com: to free or deliver from confinement, danger, or difficulty.
Vocabulary.com defines it as: “when you rescue something, you save it from bad - you come to the rescue.”
As the above definition of rescue in the verb tense Jerry RESCUED Luke from the suffering he was enduring. That’s “rescue” in the verb tense (shows action or something that you do). Jerry nor I claim to be a “rescue organization” which is the noun tense (which is a person, place, thing) however Jerry did “rescue” in the “verb” tense of Luke. Jerry didn’t just “take” Luke because Luke had a owner that would be “stealing”. Jerry asked his owner if he could have Luke and the owner said yes… Jerry is Luke’s “legal owner”.

Jerry and I have taken many pictures of Luke and of our other dogs however… how does posting pictures as they are taken on Facebook/Social Media of our pets = love or demonstrate our love for them? The fact that Luke is loved and part of a family. Obviously many pictures and videos were taken by us and were not used on our social media for our own personal need for “attention” or for “praise” for our good deeds done for Luke. They were done from our heart… through these genuine good deeds we developed a bond and love for Luke and he became part of our family!

The pictures we have taken are for us, they are our memories and this page showcases these memories. Why would we feel the need to share the good deed we did for Luke when it was done? Doing the good deed of rescuing Luke was joy in of itself and we didn’t need to post it on social media to get “praise” to have done that would be “attention seeking” and then the point of the good deed is honestly ruined. Bragging about your good deed(s) on social media makes it about a need for your own “attention seeking” and NOT the “intention” of RESCUING or what Luke really needed which was HELP. There was much more important things Luke needed like for the first time in his life being cared for, accepted, and loved. Jerry and I stepped up for Luke when everyone else looked the other way. To include For the Love of a Paw.

Instead of posting about Luke we cared for Luke and kept him safe… we did what others to include wouldn’t do: we loved him. There was much more important things that Luke needed like a bath he never had before that we provided that shows we love Luke like our own dog because he is OUR dog.

“One doesn’t have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient.” -Charles M Blow

I sent numerous text messages, emails, and messenger messages just begging, pleading, all the while crying for Luke to be returned. They were all ignored not a single response! Attached are just a few of the unanswered messages and the picture I sent of Luke the last picture we had taken of him. With tears in my eyes they ripped away a part of our family. For the Love of a Paw stole Luke form the very family who took the initiative to save him from his suffering. They stole Luke from his hero… from the family who cared for him when he had no one else.

If you are new to Luke’s page here is the story of how Luke was cruely, deceptively, and manipulatively stolen from us and why we started this page.

I took Luke to what I believed to be his follow up veterinarian appointment for his neutering. Little did I know that when I dropped him off at 8:45 am that would be the last time I would see Luke. Luke didn’t want me to leave and actually jumped back into my drivers seat and that is my last memory I have of Luke. I was told I would receive a phone call for pick up, however I never received that call. The drive to vet is about an hour drive one way and due to covid restrictions had to call to drop off and not allowed to wait in the office. I planned my day around this appointment in order to keep close by to the veterinarians office I did errands locally. I found out that Luke was was deceptively stolen from us while I was checking out at the post office. I broke down in tears while trying to pay for my postage and the clerk helped me to tape up my package to be shipped. This morning I relived this moment as I reread these text messages still at work, filing out a police report, and pleading with For the Love of a Paw at their “cat headquarters” to no avail to Return Luke Home. We both begged and pleaded through text messges, messenger messages, and emails for our dog to be returned with no response. This was a planned, cruel, manipulative, and deceptive act that has left Jerry and I both traumatized as well as devastated. We have always maintained we just want and we are determined to share the truth of these events with the public.

So stay tuned... this is a series we will be revealing the unfolding of these events and deception by and

Friendship isn’t about who you know the longest. It’s about who walked into your life and said “I am here for you” and PROVED it!

Jerry did the one thing that NO ONE at For the Love of a Paw would do for him and that is rescue Luke from his suffering. Poor Luke was less then 1/4 mile from building and disturbingly must had been there for so long sadly he became part of the scenery. It took Jerry starting a new job in this area to spot Luke and help him. A fresh set of eyes to spot this broken helpless soul.

We need to change the laws in the US and follow the pet theft reform that is taking place in the UK.
They have recognized that their current laws “does not properly reflect the emotional trauma of losing a cherished animal.” Now they are including a “new offense to better reflect the fact that for most people, pets are not just property and having one stolen is traumatic for both the owner and the pet.”
For the Love of a Paw manipulatively and deceptively stole our Luke under the guise of a follow up veterinarian appointment
Dogs' FEELINGS will be taken into account when sentencing dognappers - who face up to FIVE YEARS in jail under proposed pet abduction law:

The new offence comes in response to a rise in pet theft and pressure from MPs across the Commons to impose tougher penalties.

A 43 second video shows how happy and loved Luke felt and how truly adored he is by us. It was taken a week before Christmas and about two weeks before we notified Brandy with For the Love of a Paw that Luke found his forever home. Luke organically became part of our family. This video was also taken 2 months to the date when they manipulatively and deceptively stole him under the guise of a follow up veterinarian appointment (this evidence will be posted in the comments section that was forwarded to us that she planned Luke’s theft). Luke never had a family before, he didn’t know what love was, or had a warm bed; Brandy’s rescue building was less then a 1/4 mile from where Luke suffered for YEARS… the cat rescue building is less then a 1/2 a mile also from where Luke suffered. What do they do? They deceitfully, manipulatively, and deceptively steal Luke from his hero. We put Luke first and we will never give up on him.

Projection is the process through which someone reveals who they are and what they are doing. Similar to a filter: what they are accusing others is actually an unconscious admission of their own character. For example someone who is rude may accuse others of being rude. In our case Brandy Beach Hudson with For the Love of a Paw falsely accusing Jerry and I (libel) of not giving Luke his prescribed Prednisone and Doxycycline (which the following information collaborates that we indeed gave 2 rounds of Prednisone and completed the Doxycycline), when in fact the accuser: Brandy is the one who withheld and neglected to state that Luke was even suppose to be taking these very medications. These medications she states was for his heart damage. Luke went from October 11, 2020 when he escaped her rescue the last time) and Jerry rerescued Luke on October 12, 2020 until October 24, 2020 (which is when Tammy took him to the vet and learned he was to be taking them all along however Brandy neglected to say he was to take them and to provide them).

Each screenshot has a caption please click on each picture for more information, along with collaborating evidence that we not only gave Luke his medications we advocated for them for Luke.
🐾
Timeline:

Brandy took Luke to his 10/7/2020 appointment, and we were unaware when Jerry rerescued Luke on October 12, 2020 he was to be taking both prednisone (steroids) and doxycycline (antibiotics). Brandy falsely accuse us in the attached screenshots that we refused to complete his meds, but the below information and screenshots that are DATED and IN ORDER shows that not only did Luke complete one round of steroids and antibiotics but two rounds of steroids. Someone asked Brandy, "Isn't that the meds she had trouble getting a refill for?" The below screenshots of text messages with Brandy outlines the communication issues and her not being forthcoming of any medications Luke was to be taken from the beginning and was given to her.

The attached screenshots were forwarded to us of her falsely accusing us of not finishing Luke's steroids and antibiotics. Our documentation shows and proves we not only completed his steroids and antibiotics but advocated for him to take a second round of steroids. She was the one negligent of even telling us about his prescriptions from the moment he came home with us. She should have had the original prescriptions prescribed to Luke that she never gave us and why we attempted to get them from Brandy instead of going to the vet for a refil when she should have Luke’s meds?

We also have a timeline that clearly shows this issue www.returnluke.com. In the attached screenshots, Brandy states that we didn't post all screenshots of text messages, and they were out of sequence on Luke's timeline in an attempt to convolute the story. The person in these screenshots asks Brandy questions point blank and asks her, "Have you read the timeline on Luke's blog?" Because the timeline on Luke's blog shows dates and times and clearly outlines the lack of communication and issues with contacting Brandy.

FIRST VET APPOINTMENT
10/7/2020: Brandy took Luke to his first vet appointment. Luke escaped the first time, and she did not attempt to recatch him, and Luke was left out all night following heartworm treatment. When he should have been "crate resting."

10/11/2020: Luke escaped out all night, and Brandy contacts Jerry again. 10/12/2020 Jerry rescued Luke again, bringing him home this time. (Screenshot between Brandy and Jerry 10/12/2020) Never stated Luke was on prescription medications: steroids or antibiotics for heart damage.

October 15, 2020: Brandy's text message stating dog food and vitamins on the porch for Luke. AGAIN not ever mentioning Luke was to be taking prednisone or doxycycline. SHE gave us vitamins and no details about prescription medications he was to be taking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zi64bLiYgHyCoPDT182BUNqso0a8wX7M/view?usp=drivesdk

SECOND VET APPOINTMENT
10/24/2020: Tammy took Luke to Santee Animal Hospital for a vet appointment. We didn't ask Brandy to pay for it. Brandy texted Jerry and stated she had an account for Luke that we didn't need to do anything. Brandy/For the Love of a Paw did a fundraiser and she stated we raised over $1,100.00 for Lukes care. During the vet appointment, the vet inquired if Brandy gave us the prednisone and doxycycline prescribed at Luke's October 7, 2020, appointment that BRANDY took LUKE to? She did NOT give us the prescription medications, and I responded, "No." She asked what Brandy gave us and I stated Luke was brought home after escaping her rescue 2 times, in which Brandy gave us a 5lb bag of dog food and a zip lock bag of a some chewable vitamins for Luke. Brandy never stated he was to be taking any medications. Explained to the vet that Luke escaped 2 times while in her care and was only in her physical custody for 4 of those 6 days. The Veterinarian then re-prescribed the medications and stated she was starting Luke all over on his meds like he never was on it since Brandy did not give them to us. Brandy had only given us vitamins. The vet stated if the meds help that she can do one more round of steroids for Luke.

Brandy withheld Luke's prescriptions for his heart damage from the October 7, 2020, vet appointment so she should still have them?

10/30/2020: Proof of medications completed as prescribed. Text messages between Jerry and Tammy stating the first round of steroids are almost complete.

11/9/2020: The vet stated to Tammy on 10/24/2020 vet appointment that if this round of antibiotics and steroids helps Luke, she could do another round. We reached out to Brandy to get the medications initially prescribed to Luke on 10/7/2020. She never gave us the medicines to Luke, so she should still have the original prescriptions - correct? However, Brandy never provided the medications initially prescribed for Luke. I had to go back to Santee Animal Hospital to pick up 2nd round of steroids (refill) for Luke. She stated that she offered us to pick them up from her, but she didn't, see text messages, and why we had to drive to Santee to get them, which was further away, about a 45-minute drive round trip drive.

11/9/2020: Jerry attempted to call Brandy and texted her to request a phone call regarding the medications for Luke.

Text 4 of 10: Sent pics of Luke's skin because not only was the meds helping his heart but his skin issues as well. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FXb4mfgSV5dEawxiUS5dAWVe27-BEfGH/view?usp=drivesdk

Text 6 of 10: Jerry understood she was in a car accident and asked if there was anyone else he could contact with For the Love of a Paw. A veterinarian appointment and trip to Santee were not necessary if she had the meds, and that's why he was asking because he was going backwards in his health.

Text 10 of 10: Not only did we drive to Santee to pick up the refill on Thursday. The vet could not do his shots, and I went back the very day for his shots. She is stating that we we refused to give him his meds and the facts are that Luke completed 2 rounds of steroids and we advocated for them, even all the while Brandy was the one whom neglected to provide them to us in the first place: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17bGjQZe6uOI3WUYZyePHT5zAVL6dSvIL/view?usp=drivesdk

12/03/2020: Jerry told Brandy Luke was almost completed with his antibiotics and second round of steroids: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gSBFM1JshAg5_4gK0W7ujEz4_lWn_VNM/view?usp=drivesdk

Orangeburg County Animal Control and Shelter, Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office, Town of Elloree, and Lake Marion Animal Hospital how does one get away with theft? To plan it? This is deceptive and manipulative. Isn’t this a crime? Under Article 9 Section 47-3-530 it’s a crime and we have evidence that proves she knowingly knew she couldn’t take Luke from our home. He is our property. Brandy Beach Hudson manipulatively stole him under the guise of a follow up veterinarian appointment and we have text messages from her admitting of this.
