Update on where we stand in our fight for justice for Harriet! We made some really great progress over the last week.

To everyone who has stood beside us screaming, we cannot thank you enough. We wouldn’t be where we are without your support. 🩷

We are not done. We still have work to do. But now we do it with a win under our belt.

We couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you for helping us get our girl back.

Another awesome way you can support us and all of our dogs over the holidays! Thank you so much to Canine Einstein for partnering with us. 🩷

This year, our Angel Tree will benefit Olyver and Co! Olyver and Co is a local rescue that specializes in the harder to place dogs. Their website says, "Our mission is to provide a safe place to land and rehabilitation to the dogs who need it most - the ones most other rescues wouldn’t touch. Our mission is not “retail rescue” or “flipping dogs.” Our fosters may take longer to find their families, but we’ll be cheering them on and advocating for them until they do."

This year, we want to support them with our Angel Tree. Stop by Canine Einstein anytime between today and Dec 23 and grab an angel from our tree! All the angels have suggested supplies or items that the rescue is looking for- bring in the items and we will deliver all donations to Olyver and Co before Christmas so all the dogs can have a Merry holiday!

We will also be accepting donations for Olyver and co during this time. We hope you will join us!

It feels a little icky to be begging for money while we’re in the middle of dealing with the biggest blow we’ve been dealt as a rescue, but we run solely on donations. If we’re going to get this through blow, and all the other blows we know will come, we need your support! 🤝

This Giving Tuesday, we’re launching something special: Bully BFFs, our new monthly giving program! Your monthly gift, no matter the tier, helps us provide basic necessities like food and preventatives, training, and vet care for the pups in our care (also: legal fees! 🥵).

With giving tiers starting at just $5 per month, we can sustain our mission with consistent, predictable donations all year long. As part of this program launch, we’re excited to share that Bully BFFs will receive O&Co swag after three months of donations have been received! Join as a Pal, Buddy, Friend, Bestie, or go all-in as a BFFL. Every donation makes a difference.

Learn more by visiting olyverandco.org/bully-bffs or sign up to become a monthly donor by visiting olyverandco.org/donate.

Harriet once attended raffle basket building, and to say she was absolutely no help is an understatement. She kept stealing items out of the baskets, and once she located the stuffies, it was game over. There is not a doubt in our mind this was the happiest day of her life. 🩷

This is heinous, this is incomprehensible, this is evil. This is also a very long video, so grab your tissue box and buckle up. Watch the whole thing. It’s important.

We intend to fully pursue legal action, as this was a serious breach of our adoption contract, along with negligence on the part of the vet clinic. Complaints have been filed with multiple agencies. After trying to have an amicable conversation and being ignored, a demand letter has been served to the adopters, and they have seven days to respond. If they don’t, we will move to a civil suit.

We’re persistent, obnoxious, and ruthless when it comes to our dogs, but we aren’t idiots. We understand the likelihood of “winning” a civil suit. Nothing will give us Harriet back. Nothing can repair the utter and complete gutting every single volunteer of O&Co is feeling right now. Nothing will be “a win.” But, Harriet deserved better, and we’ll fight for her for as long as we possibly can…loudly.

The likelihood of anything coming from filings against the vet is even smaller. Our hope is that, after an investigation, the vet will consider doing more research before taking the word of a client of a very newly adopted dog who is very obviously not presenting with any aggression or dangerous behaviors. If we can prevent this from happening to another dog, we’ll consider it a win.

From the day the adopters raised concerns to the day they euthanized Harriet totals eleven days. One day for each MONTH that she was in our care. One day for each month she was loved unconditionally, snuggled, appreciated, celebrated, and accepted for exactly the perfect girl she was.

Harriet was loved by so many outside of O&Co, and we know this enormous loss isn’t just devastating to us. We are working on a few ways for you guys to support and get involved. Stay tuned for more info. We need as many of you behind us as we can get to fight this fight and be her voice. We will not stop.

We have rallied, we are mobilizing, and we WILL get justice for our girl. Harriet was and always will be the mascot of O&Co. She was with us from the start, was a local celebrity, and deserved so much better than we chose for her. There is not a chance in hell that we’re going down without the fight of our lives. We saved her life once; now we honor her legacy.

We have shared all of the information we can. Please respect that we can only say so much as we move forward. We will not release the names of the adopters - ever.* We’re not releasing the vet clinic info for now. As much as we would love to scream every ounce of information we have from the rooftops, getting justice for Harriet is, and will remain, our top priority.

*Don’t get us wrong. We want nothing more than to plaster their faces and address on billboards across the city.
