This is a picture of my husband Thomas and the MAC dog Moonpie. You may remember our story that Jayne played out on MAC page last October when I made the grave mistake of fostering for MAC. I’m writing this to warn the public of the dangers of being involved with Jayne. I took Shelby Township Peace Officers to return Moonpie on 10/12/2021 and you can watch that video here in 2 parts: https://dontgivejayneyourdog.com/?page_id=34 . You hear the countless dogs barking in her house, her screaming and then screeching at them (“LUCKAYYYY!!!!”), you can hear her threaten to sue us 3x, avoid the cop’s question about the number of dogs in her home and say “not all of them should be here" and you can see her overflowing garage. You can also hear my side of the story in greater detail.
In October of 2021, my husband Thomas and I were looking for a dog and we wanted to foster first, then adopt to make sure the dog was a good fit. I read MAC’s advertisement urgently looking for a foster for Moonpie. My heart broke for Moonpie because I saw a dog no one wanted. I contacted Jayne and solely based on one phone call she agreed to let us foster Moonpie. I also told her I was hoping I could have Moonpie certified as an emotional support dog and Jayne said she believed Moonpie could qualify.
Jayne set us and Moonpie up for failure. She never told us Moonpie could not be in a home with cats and we had 5 cats at the time. Also, Moonpie growled, barked, and snapped at our house guests and our neighbors told use she whined and barked when we were not home. Moonpie needed a lot of training, but Jayne never offered professional training for Moonpie.
After 4 days both Thomas and I politely and diplomatically told her by text and phone that Moonpie was not a good fit. First Thomas texted her (Pic 1) and then I did (Pic 2). Jayne responded by text falsely stating, “u said cats wouldbe fine I basement.” We would never agree to lock our cats in the basement and the suggestion is absurd. She wrote “MOONPIE NEVER BARKS” which makes me think she never spent any time with Moonpie.
Jayne said she would not take back Moonpie until she found another foster. Meanwhile, Moonpie continued to chase and lunge at our cats. Jayne went back on her MAC FB page and began to attack us personally in her advertisements for a new “reliable, mature, responsible” foster. (Pics 3 - 4). And she made posts on her MAC page to incite her MAC FB followers telling them to “speak to” us about how we housed our bearded dragon and hamster. She wrote “ALL RESCUES WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TYPE OF FOSTER”. (Pic 5)
Thomas texted her, called her out for attacking us online and belittling me and demanded she come and get Moonpie so we could be free of her madness. Her response was to threaten to post our home address on FB to her angry mob of followers and she sloppily wrote: “I CAN GIVE THE. YOUR ADDRESS.” and then she wrote: “if you do not believe. what can be done. diane. can provide examples”. These are the words of a thug. (Pic 2)
Jayne’s words and actions began to take a toll on me emotionally. I felt alone and scared for our safety. We also began to realize she wasn’t going to take back Moonpie voluntarily and she was going to continue to attack us personally on her FB page. We also did our research and learned how she sues her fosters, adopters and volunteers. We decided to take Moonpie directly back to her house, where we had picked her up. I sent her a text telling her we would be dropping of Moonpie “tonight”. (Pic 2) Jayne didn’t respond. I decided to ask for peace officers to go with us and as a result we have the body cam video from that day and the link is above. After the police left, she sent us text messages promising to sue again, even after I told her to leave us alone and stop contacting me. (Pic 6)
After we returned Moonpie, Jayne amped up her Facebook attacks on us. She posted that we agreed to keep Moonpie until a new foster was found and that’s not true. Nothing about our “behavior” was “extreme”. (Pic 7). This is also proven in the police body cam video. It is Jayne who was acting irrational and bullying us right in front of the police.
As you can see in the next pictures (Pics 8-14) she got many of her followers involved and they called us “TURDS”, “losers”, and “douchebags”. One person posted “I HATE THOSE GUYS!!” and wrote that we looked “immature”, “seeking attention” and another person hoped the “Karma bus” would run us down. These comments were prompted and well support by Jayne with her comments that we “LIE LIE LIE”, and “the drama. my god the drama.” and about putting us on a “universal list of people all rescues have to avoid”. Jayne posted a picture we had sent to her to identify us to her angry mom and to intimidate us. (Pic 12) It did. Many agreed to share the “story” Jayne had given them and our picture. This continued to scare and depress us.
Some people tried to defend us, strangers, but Jayne deleted their comments and threated to have them designated a terrorist organization. (Pic 13). Again, she edited her post over and over talking about the federal government citing our defenders as a “DOMESTIC TERROIRST GROUP” when she should have been caring for all the dogs in her house in my opinion. (Pic 14). Jayne also threatened our defenders by writing that she is an “attorney” and that she would “LOVE” to bring anyone to court who criticized her shady practices. (Pic 15) She also claimed we harmed Moonpie. Nothing could be further than the truth. Sadly, today no one knows what Jayne did with Moonpie. She is a good dog, she just needs training and shouldn’t live around cats. It’s very sad that Jayne made Moonpie disappear.
I am very disheartened the way things ended with MAC and Jayne. All our cats were distressed and the kittens Salem and Milky Way were just 8 months old at the time and small and fragile. Jayne set all of us up for failure. Later, we adopted a dog from the local shelter who adjusted to our home within a few days, and I was able to register him as an emotional support dog.
I am the 9th person to file a request for investigation with the Attorney Grievance Commission to have them investigate Jayne’s activities and her behavior. Lawyers can’t just act any way they want towards people and keep getting away with it. I’m glad to be a part of this movement to end Jayne and her bad practices. We know that there are more people out there so please don’t be afraid to come forward. Thank you for reading my story.
