🚨 In unsurprising news, NYBC is robbing their donors 🚨

Yesterday, July 23rd, 2022, made an urgent plea for donations for a dog named Zeus, accompanied by a photo of him looking emaciated. Zeus was adopted 10 years ago (photos above), and his adopter asked NYBC for help because Zeus needs an amputation. Instead of fundraising for Zeus’s amputation, NYBC used his original abuse story and original photo to bring in donations. They didn’t even mention his amputation. The photo shows Zeus as skin and bones, but photos in this post show you that Zeus is happy and at a healthy weight.

Craig has now deleted the recent post after many people called out his lie, however, screen shots don’t lie.

Included in this post is a conversation with Zeus’ current owner where she was made aware of the post (this was posted publicly).

Once again, Craig Fields proves that he and NYBC are not to be trusted. SHARE THIS POST FAR AND WIDE for the people who continue to be scammed and taken advantage of.

🚨 In unsurprising news, NYBC is robbing their donors 🚨 If we can say one good thing about Craig Fields and New York Bully Crew, it’s that they recycle (stories of dog abuse to collect more money).

Yesterday, July 23rd, 2022, made an urgent plea for donations for a dog named Zeus, accompanied by a photo of him looking emaciated, stating that he needed an amputation. The problem is— Zeus was adopted 10 YEARS AGO (Photos above). Craig has now deleted the recent post after many people called out his lie, however, screen shots don’t lie. Craig can’t deny that he recycled this old post, because the Venmo handle is listed in yesterday’s post, but NYBC didn’t have Venmo when Zeus was with the rescue in 2012.

Included in this post is a conversation with Zeus’ current owner where she was made aware of the post (this was posted publicly).

Once again, Craig Fields proves that he and NYBC are not to be trusted. SHARE THIS POST FAR AND WIDE for the people who continue to be scammed and taken advantage of.

While Craig Fields is on social media begging for donations to help fight a lawsuit from a former volunteer who was severely mauled by one of NYBC’s dogs, he is currently involved in yet another lawsuit of his own: He is suing a former staff for *social media passwords* and claims that former staff are “stealing” donors. He has two lawyers on this particular case, shown above ⬆️

We have questions:
1- How can Craig afford two lawyers?
2-Where does the money come from to pay the two lawyers?
3-If he cared so deeply about NYBC, why not use that money to either settle with the volunteer or save NYBC from going under instead of suing someone over social media passwords, something we’ve seen him do in the past with the ongoing Philly Bully Team vs. NYBC case?
4-Why wouldn’t insurance for an animal rescue facility cover bite cases? Answer: It does! Craig’s issue is that he does not have insurance.

Craig has the money for multiple lawyers, luxury cars, home improvements, diamond grills and more, but he doesn’t have insurance on his kennel so he can keep himself, his dogs and his volunteers safe?
SWIPE➡️

Have you ever seen a nonprofit involved in so many lawsuits? GOOGLE HIS NAME. These are public records that anyone can view online.

The majority of the people who he is currently manipulating to fund the legal battle with the former volunteer who is suing him have no idea of this page, his legal history, and what he’s capable of- SHOW THEM. Share this post, share our page, tag the people who you see donating on his posts. It’s been a bit since we’ve posted, but we’re still here working behind the scenes and we will not stop until NYBC does not exist.

💪❤️To the former volunteer suing him- do not give up. We are behind you, we support you, and we all know what Craig is capable of. It will get harder from here. Stay strong.

We were sent this conversation featuring Johnny Preston discussing his long-standing relationship with Craig Fields. Johnny Preston is well known amongst the rescue community, and not for good reason, but for very similar reasons that Craig Fields is known.

Preston was forced by the state of California to cease operations in 2018 for fraud and misuse of donations. There are instagram pages dedicated to exposing Preston and spreading awareness about the dogs who have disappeared under his “care”. He steals the public’s money like Craig, lies like Craig, and makes dogs disappear like Craig.

This is proof of what we already knew, that New York Bully Crew and Johnny Preston worked together “for years”, and Craig kept it hidden because he knows what Preston is- a dangerous, lying, con artist like he is.

What does it say about a rescue who knowingly works with someone who was forced to shut down by the state for fraudulent animal welfare activity?

🤔 Craig, which is it? Does the BMW that you’re illegally raffling off have 36k miles, “under 40k miles”, or 40k miles on it? And why does the mileage keep increasing as time goes on?

🚨 Do you know someone who has purchased a ticket to win the BMW that New York Bully Crew is raffling off? Let them know that the mileage is steadily increasing.

New York Bully Crew recently paid a transport company to bring a dog named Chanze from Texas to New York. Sadly, Chanze passed away during transport. Per Craig’s own statement, he passed away from bloat. Craig also claims that the transport company didn’t check on him for 12 hours and that he had no food or water in his stomach. 12 hours or more is also the amount of time that Craig leaves the dogs at his own facility unattended per first hand statements from multiple former employees. Also worth noting per former employees, NYBC “kennel manager” James Smith instructed many of them to feed the dogs less than their nutritional needs so they “weigh less, sh*t less, and are easier to walk”.

Craig has publicly blamed, bashed and vilified this transport company (SWIPE to see video) for the passing of Chanze, however, the physiological progression of bloat indicates that it is possible that he was already sick when he got on transport and it’s very unlikely that the transport company did anything to cause bloat to happen. As a matter of fact, one of NYBC’s own dogs, Axel (SWIPE), died while alone in the facility overnight from bloat. Why does Craig consider it a tragedy when it happens to him, but negligence when it happens to someone else?

Despite holes and accusations in Craig’s story, this transport company and their family were publicly harassed and threatened by Craig and his following. They were even forced to remove their page.

Tragically, one of the individuals who Craig publicly accused took his own life last night. He left behind a wife and children. We cannot imagine the immeasurable amount of pain this family must be feeling at this time and our thoughts and prayers are with them.

On July 17th, New York Bully Crew announced that they would be selling 400 raffle tickets at $250 each for a chance to win a 2015 BMW, totaling $100k.

Since it is December, there is no raffle end in sight, and NYBC allegedly continues to collect undisclosed amounts of money, it is important that we shed light on the legalities of charitable raffles as it does not appear to be abiding by New York State Gaming Commission raffle regulations to begin with (SWIPE). Additionally, we have evidence that NYBC doesn’t pay their vet bills, lacks transparency, lies to the public, and allegedly misuses donations for personal gain- So, if Craig Fields can’t be trusted with $1, how can he be trusted with $100k?

NYBC states that the raffle will end when 400 tickets are sold, but who is tracking that? Craig? Has he proven himself trustworthy enough that we should take his word for it? Theoretically, NYBC could have sold 400 tickets already, but since there is no way for anyone to fact check NYBC’s ticket count, they could collect money for years until they decide it’s time to end the raffle.

•What if NYBC never sells all of the tickets? Will participants be refunded?
•Where is the money that has been raised so far?
•Is there a factual way to know how much money been raised so far?
•Who is keeping track of how many tickets were sold?
•How long will NYBC wait to end the raffle without selling all of the tickets?

We have learned and proven time and again that Craig Fields and NYBC are not trustworthy, as they have been caught lying about the need for donations in the past, as well as exhibited unethical, inhumane practices towards the animals in their care. They are currently, literally gambling with people’s hard earned money.

🚨We spoke with the NYS Gaming Commission today regarding this raffle. They gave us an email address below to give to you to express your concerns. Please reach out to them at the address below and let them know that it’s concerning that NYBC is running what appears to be an illegal raffle spanning over the course of half a year with no end date in sight🚨

A veterinarian’s office in Puerto Rico reached out to Philly Bully Team in desperation to find placement for two dogs, Eric and Kelly, who were abandoned at their office with a $22,000 bill by New York Bully Crew in 2017. Despite the vet’s numerous attempts to contact NYBC to claim their dogs and pay the $22k balance, their attempts were ignored. Eric and Kelly, two happy, healthy, friendly adoptable dogs, have been in boarding for THREE YEARS in PR. Once again, Craig Fields and NYBC prove that they have no respect for the dog’s innocent lives, the veterinarians, and the public who flood NYBC with donations for dogs that aren’t even in their care. Undoubtably, thousands of dollars in donations came in for Eric and Kelly, who were left abandoned in PR with an unpaid vet bill. WHERE IS THAT MONEY, CRAIG?

This behavior isn’t new. Craig has been sued in New York by vet’s offices for refusing to pay bills and he has a history of abandoning dogs in PR and with fosters in the states. There are countless NYBC dogs who have been sitting for years at Del Gatu Dog Training and Boarding (see a few posts back) in PR waiting to be flown to the states, and NYBC continues to collect donations on them with no intentions of bettering their lives. New York Bully Crew continues to prove that money is the driving force behind their actions, and not the dogs.

Had the vets office not reached out to Philly Bully Team, Eric and Kelly would have lived and died in boarding. Thank you to Philly Bully Team for saving Eric and Kelly from Craig Fields and giving them their actual second chance at life that was falsely promised to them.

🚩 Eric and Kelly are marked safe from New York Bully Crew

New York State law states that heartworm positive dogs are not allowed to be imported into New York. Since when does the law stop New York Bully Crew, though? SWIPE to see some of the most recent dogs they’ve imported into NY from other states, despite the dogs being heartworm positive. NYBC has the money to medically board the dogs and the network to find fosters before they’re transported to NY, yet they continue to put money, greed, and themselves before the safety of their dogs. The dogs could easily be treated before transport, which is what the law mandates, but NYBC continues to prove that the safety of their dogs is not a priority.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP🚨 This was posted today by “Concerned Citizens for the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter” and discusses how Commissioner Martin Haley has been allegedly protecting Craig Fields and NYBC (SWIPE: 2nd photo)
Numerous legitimate complaints have been filed against NYBC and Craig’s personal residence to the township and municipal shelter, but nothing has happened because of Haley’s “inappropriate and unprofessional relationship” with NYBC.

Now that this issue has been publicly addressed, we implore you to reach out to Town of Brookhaven Supervisor, Ed Romaine, [email protected], and tell him that this type of political corruption should and will not be tolerated. We want Haley gone and NYBC properly investigated!
Contact Supervisor Romaine at 631-451-9100 or email [email protected]

We have spoken directly with Ed Romaine’s office and they have let us know that every email and phone call makes a difference. They are taking this matter seriously. Even if it’s one sentence- contact them. The time to help is now!

RIP Axel. We received word yesterday that Axel has passed away. There are no recent updates on him, no posts begging for money, nothing. As soon as a dog gets sick at NYBC, it’s publicly shared to source donations, but not for Axel. Was he another Tubbz or Roscoe found dead in his kennel? Amazing how NYBC rushes to aid a beaten dog or any other high profile case, yet can’t seem to care for the lives already in their hands. We will be receiving more information on him later that we will share with you immediately. RIP Axel- another precious life lost to New York Bully Crew. Your life mattered.

On January 3, 2009, Brittany Gatterdam tragically passed away in Suffolk County, NY. Above is a public post that her mother wrote to Triton Fights, an organization that Craig Fields was affiliated with. Our hearts break for Brittany’s family who may never get the answers that they deserve.

In 2017, New York Bully Crew claimed, posted and solicited donations for 2 Puerto Rico dogs named Romeo and Juliet and their 9 puppies. The 9 puppies were flown to the states and adopted out, but NYBC left the parents behind in Puerto Rico where they have sat in boarding for the last 3 years. See texts: We were contacted recently by our colleagues in PR letting us know that they’ve been trying to get Romeo and Juliet out of PR and adopted. They stated that Craig did not give reason as to why he chose not to fly the parents, but by now, we’re all well aware that puppies are gold to NYBC because they bring in fast money. Many former employees have stated that Craig is notorious for leaving mamas behind and taking her puppies. FORMER EMPLOYEES: Sound off below. We have yet to share an real opinions on these posts- but this one has really driven us over the edge, so forgive me- How disgusting and cruel to leave two parents who they described lived in ” trash, dirt, filth with no fresh water” behind, taking away their shot at a loving home. There has been ZERO promotion for Romeo and Juliet, yet NYBC damn well collected donations off the them and made a mint off of their puppies. They described Juliet as “malnourished and heart worm positive” and then they leave her in PR and take her puppies to make a profit. What a disgusting excuse of an organization. Like I always tell you- be patient- their time is coming.

TO OUR FOLLOWERS: if this post makes you as sick as it makes us, repost it, share it, tag people- Make New York Bully Crew famous for animal cruelty and neglect.

Remember Hurricane Maria? That’s how long NYBC has had Lily in boarding in Puerto Rico. In 2017, NYBC promoted “the three amigos”, which includes a dog named Lily above, and asks for donations towards their “Hurricane Maria relief fund”. Yesterday, according to NYBC’s social media, they transported Lily from Puerto Rico to NY. This is the first update on Lily in 3 years. During that time, NYBC rehomed tons of dogs across the country and locally, yet left Lily and countless others in Puerto Rico in the awful facility detailed 2 posts ago. Also, during that time and post Hurricane Maria, they’ve flown litters of puppies over from Puerto Rico and gone to great lengths to transport high profile cases to NY, like Baldwin yesterday. Why did Lily not make it? It is the same story over and over again. NYBC promotes a dog, collects donations, fades the dog out, and moves on to new cases that bring in money. NYBC can’t seem to grasp the concept- if you can’t care for the dogs you have, don’t take on new ones- but, unfortunately, money is their driving force, not the dogs. Let’s hope they do right by Lily to make up for the 3 years that they neglected her. As a rescue, you have an obligation to do right by and care for your dogs, yet NYBC’s actions prove time and time again their blatant disregard for the lives in their hands, the law, and their duty to be honest and forthcoming to the public as a “non-profit” organization.

🚨FRAUD ALERT🚨 Please help us understand... Does everyone remember this dog named Baldwin who gained national attention when he was dragged by a car a few months ago? Well, of course, New York Bully Crew stepped up to help with this high profile case. Baldwin arrived in New York today with another dog, Drago, and NYBC posted both of them for adoption even though Baldwin had already been adopted. How do we know this for sure? SWIPE. Baldwin’s amazing adopter was so excited to finally get his boy that he confirmed his adoption on NYBC’s post. New York Bully Crew is asking everyone to fill out an application that has a MANDATORY FEE and the dog has already been adopted.

Most importantly- NYBC is notorious for threatening adopters that their dogs will be taken away should they speak out against them. We want everyone to know this is a PUBLIC POST. No one reached out to us, we never spoke with his adopter, we simply connected the very obvious, fraudulent dots. Let’s protect Baldwin and his adopter from backlash.

🚨REPOST THIS TO LET NYBCS FOLLOWERS KNOW THEYRE BEING SCAMMED🚨

On New York Bully Crew’s website there is a dedicated section to make donations for dog’s in Puerto Rico, which shows graphic, horrific photos of abused, dying dogs. On NYBC’s website and social media pages, they are frequently soliciting donations for PR, but many dogs haven’t had updates posted about them in years. Where are they?

Similar to NYBC’s Long Island facility, they have a facility in Puerto Rico, run by Osvaldo Massanet, called Del Guatu Dog Training and Pet Boarding at PR-183, Caguas, 00727, Puerto Rico. Our colleagues on the ground in PR have told us that there are dogs that have been sitting in that facility since as early as 2017, and that Craig Fields and Carla Murino (Carla was PR’s point of contact, formally NYBC, now of Near and Far AF) had and have no intentions of bringing a majority of the dogs to the states. Most of the dogs are posted for donations and left in PR to be forgotten. Osvaldo, the individual who runs the facility, allegedly has strict instructions from Craig Fields not to let anyone in, so, just like Long Island, this is the second facility that NYBC hides from the public. SWIPE to see only a few of the countless dogs sitting at the PR Facility, still on NYBC’s website, and observe the dates of when these dogs were last posted never to be seen or heard of again. NYBC has no intentions of bringing these dogs to the states for adoption. There are dogs missing, some dead, some we’re unsure of their whereabouts or if they’re dead or alive.

Every single day, NYBC promotes horrifying photos of dogs in PR and other countries for donations on their page, and then once donations are collected, the dogs are never mentioned again and faded off of social media.

Animal welfare laws in Puerto Rico are scarce and inadequate, making this culture perfect for rescues with ill intentions to exploit dogs in need without ever being held accountable to their word and rehoming them. WHERE ARE THE DOGS? ?

12/06/2020

Red Flag Friday 🚩 New York Bully Crew has proven countless times to be dishonest and fraudulent, so how can we be so sure that the money they’re raising for dogs in Honduras, Peru, Venezuela, Egypt and Puerto Rico is actually making it to those countries? We can’t. Their own dogs on Long Island don’t even receive routine vet care, and when they do, NYBC leaves hospitals with outstanding balances of thousands of dollars- So, why are they raising money for dogs in foreign countries? Even more alarming, the opportunity to donate directly to the foreign rescues, which are never named, is never an option. We want NYBC to take care of the dogs in their shelter- but “care” isn’t their purpose. Their purpose is money- and what is the purpose of posting photos of half dead dogs in foreign countries? To bring in money.

RIP Corona 💔 This morning, Corona’s foster posted that he had “beginning stages of pneumonia”. We just received word that he passed away earlier this evening. We’re devastated that Corona knew only a life of neglect and suffering because of Craig Fields and the staff at New York Bully Crew. It’s hard not to imagine that if he had received the proper treatment to begin with, his life would’ve turned out differently. RIP Corona ❤️ You are free 🌈 We will never forget you.

These are the 4 puppies from Fiona’s litter who are unaccounted for. We can only assume they are deceased, per Miami Dade Animal Shelter’s information that 4 out of 8 puppies died of parvo via yesterday’s post. New York Bully Crew has yet to acknowledge concerns from the public regarding the whereabouts of the remaining puppies, or confirm that the litter somehow contracted parvo. In standard NYBC fashion, they collected donations and application fees for 9 dogs, 4 of which were deceased. RIP Hudson, Gus, Jaxon, and Silas. Justice will be served.

05/05/2020

The truth, finally, from the shelter itself. We were sent this information by someone who reached out directly to Miami Dade Animal Shelter regarding the true whereabouts of Fiona’s puppies: The , per New York Bully Crew. According to the shelter last week, 4 out of 8 puppies died due to parvo. Countless individuals asked Craig Fields and NYBC for health updates after the puppies disappeared from social media to hide their condition, yet NYBC hid the truth, again, from the public. It’s troubling that NYBC will milk a scratch on an animal for donations, yet when this litter contracts parvo, it’s a secret. Why? Even more alarming, Fiona was “adopted” by an employee. There have been many times that James Smith, the kennel manager featured in our last post, has “adopted” a dog-A play by NYBC to get the public to stop asking for updates. Fiona is not safe, and now, thanks to Miami Dade, we know that when Craig states the pups are “accounted for”, he really means they’re dead. They still took application money for the deceased puppies though! Never stop asking questions.

from “Enforce the Animal Laws in Suffolk County” on January 6, 2018. Damning allegations that reinforce everything we’ve been bringing to light. 🚨 PLEASE READ AND SHARE 🚨

21/04/2020

This morning, New York Bully Crew solicited donations for Jace claiming that, out of the blue, he started exhibiting strange behavior and was “not acting like himself”. To reference the post above by a former staff member, a dog does not wake up looking emaciated like Jace does. The staff member even questioned if someone fed him improperly because of his appearance. That shouldn’t even be a concern or something that would cross her mind, but at NYBC’s facility, worrying that dogs aren’t being fed is sadly a common, valid concern. Compared to the photo of Jace that NYBC uses to promote him (last photo), he’s clearly much skinnier and looks visibly ill. It seems to be the same horrifying story over and over again. A dog is ignored, provided inadequate care if any at all, and refused routine check ups and shots until emergency care is needed. Whatever is wrong with Jace, the photos very clearly show that it developed over time, and was not sudden at all, despite NYBC’s claims. Since Craig and NYBC staff can’t seem to grasp how to care for an animal properly, it is up to us to continue to hold New York Bully Crew accountable and make sure they get Jace real veterinary care, not CBD oil. @ East Patchogue, New York

18/04/2020

As of April 6, 2020, New York Bully Crew, a “non-profit” organization, owes Oradell Animal Hospital $15,900.30. According to public tax records, and taking into account alleged money that is illegally not claimed on taxes, Craig Fields allegedly pays himself, his Board of Directors (which includes his mother), his “animal behavioralist” wife, and his employees a large salary, but somehow can’t find the money to pay the hospitals and staff who care for the animals. He does, however, find the money to buy luxury cars, multiple pairs of gold teeth, and designer accessories. He has been sued multiple times by vet’s offices for failure to pay bills (SWIPE), but to the public eye, he appears to continue to become richer as vets are losing money and providing free care. ?

16/04/2020

See below dates-The date New York Bully Crew “saved” Solomon (August 2018) vs. the date Solomon went into foster care, skin and bones, after being at NYBC’s facility for ~7 months (March 2019). He completely deteriorated. Per former staff detailed in these photos, Solomon was frequently vomiting, experiencing diarrhea, and losing weight rapidly, which went untreated by NYBC higher ups, as most medical cases allegedly do. It wasn’t until an employee took matters into her/his own hands and demanded that Solomon be taken to the vet (see photos). Does this dog look “safe” to anyone? Solomon was physically healthier BEFORE NYBC acquired him, and like many other dogs, his health declined at their facility. Instead of vet care, NYBC tried using CBD oil according to employees at the time. We’re told that once Solomon went into foster, he fattened up and his health improved, which leads us to continue to beg the question- Does NYBC truly care about their dogs? This photo alone is worth 1000 words, but yet again, we also have the disturbing testimonies from the employees present during Solomon’s stay at NYBC who witnessed this firsthand. Thankfully an amazing foster stepped up to save Solomon and nurse him in her home- we can’t imagine what might have happened if Solomon remained at NYBC. @ East Patchogue, New York

12/04/2020

A few days ago, New York Bully Crew claimed via social media that they found a dog in East Patchogue. Instead of taking the dog to the shelter in attempts to find the owner or scan for a microchip, they brought the dog to their facility and are now accepting applications to adopt this dog out in only a few days. According to this post from “Long Island Lost & Found Pets”, NYBC is deleting comments of anyone asking for the dog to be brought to the shelter, which is important as not everyone has Facebook and the owners may not see the posts. We need to ask WHY. What motive does NYBC have to not go the extra mile and find this poor dog’s owners? Please share, tag, spread the word- we’re sure her family is missing her. @ Long Island, NY

11/04/2020

We received the above message about a mom, Fiona, and her litter of puppies from Miami Dade Animal Shelter that were transported to New York Bully Crew and named on around March 4, 2020 according to NYBC's social media. The last known update or sight of Fiona and her puppies is March 14, 2020. They have disappeared. Countless supporters of NYBC have commented on the photos (SWIPE) asking for updates and stating that they applied to foster or adopt, and would like to know where the litter is. NYBC charges application fees, so where is that money if the dogs are missing? As it is well known how much Craig Fields loves to flip puppies for a quick buck, there is no mention of Fiona and litter in the last month, which raises serious concern. Where is Fiona and her litter? We pray that this post will lead to answers and/or that the dogs are safe and in foster. Please tag Miami Dade Animal Shelter on instagram and our page- Link in Bio.
