Cathy Kittell Emails

Joanne Hale Emails

Other Emails

The Root Of The Issue:
On the evening of September 27th, 2006 ,without warning or explanation, Joanne Hale and Cathy Kittell , representing HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue , were removed from the BCARN list of rescue contacts.

This decision was made by Stephanie Light , the BCARN National Coordinator, and Karen Massaro, Coordinator for the Northeastern States.

Heavensent Bulldog Rescue was the only group representing New Jersey, and regularly provided rescue for Bulldogs in Pennsylvania , Delaware and Maryland.

No person or group has been assigned to the areas we regularly covered. Bulldogs at risk in our area remain unprotected.

To date, no reasonable explanation has been provided as to the decision to remove HeavenSent from the rescue roster. We must assume, from the sequence of events and the lack of any evidence of misdeeds on the part of Heavensent, that our removal was in retaliation for not releasing 3 in-tact mature female Bulldogs who were entrusted to our care by a Pennsylvania animal shelter.

A formal complaint was filed by our attorney on October 06, 2006. Copies were provided to all appropriate BCA and BCARN officers and administrators. Our request, within the content of our complaint, has not yet been acknowledged.

The BCA/BCARN Issue

October 23, 2006: UPDATE.
To date, there has not been the dignity of a response to the letter sent by our attorney on  Oct. 06. We are aware that BCA President Claudia Brown has been led to believe she has no jurisdiction over the affairs of BCARN and that there is no legal connection between the two groups.

On the official website of The Bulldog Club of America (www.thebca.org) , a page designated "Officers, Divisions and Club Members of the BCA" lists officers of The Bulldog Club of America.   Those listed include the treasurer of the BCARN, Inc. and a "Committe Chairperson 2006-2007 " for Bulldog Rescue. Obviously, there is not full separation.

In addition , any person who wishes to join BCARN, must first become a paid member of the BCA, with an application signed by a member in good standing of the BCA, and that applicant must remain a paid member in good standing to remain on the BCARN;  hence, a viable connection.

The contention of complete separation is also contradicted in the Spring- 2006 Newletter written by Stephanie Light and available on the BCARN website , lower left side , under "Newsletters". That very issue is addressed in the following e-mail that was sent today.

To: Stefanie Light, President, BCARN Board of Directors and National Coordinator
cc:    Claudia Brown, President, BCA
cc:    Gail Knight, BCA Committee Chair, Bulldog Rescue

In an article entitled "News from the National Coordinator" on Page 3 of the Bulldog Club of America Rescue Network "Rescuer" newsletter, Volume VII, Issue 9, published in Spring 2006, there is reference made to the appointment of two new Directors to the BCARN Board.  Specifically, the article states, "As required by the BCARN bylaws, the BCA President, Bob Newcomb, appointed two new Directors to the BCARN Board. They are Cindy Mozingo, Division V, and Bethany Scott, Division IV."

Although the BCA Bylaws and constitution are posted on the BCA web site, the BCARN documents are absent.  Please advise as to the procedure under which I can obtain a copy of the BCARN bylaws.  Also, as required under IRS regulations, please provide me with a copy of the BCARN's exemption application, including Form 1023 together with supporting documents and any letter or document issued by the IRS concerning the application the BCARN's three most recently filed annual information returns.  If there are costs associated with the copying of the documents, please advise.  Please send the documents to my attention at the following address.

Kara Gordon
(ADDRESS REMOVED)

I've copied the requirement to produce the documents below.  Thank you in advance for your consideration.

On April 8, 1999, the IRS issued T.D. 8818, amending the regulations implementing IRC section 6104 of the Code. These amendments generally require tax-exempt organizations (other than private foundations) to provide copies of certain tax documents to requesting individuals; these tax documents are usually to be provided immediately in the case of in-person requests and within 30 days in the case of written requests. The tax-exempt organization may charge a reasonable copying fee plus actual postage, if any. These new disclosure requirements are in addition to the requirement that tax-exempt organizations must make their tax-documents available for public inspection.

The affected tax documents are the exempt organization's exemption application and its three most recently filed annual information returns.  An exemption application includes the Form 1023 (for organizations recognized exempt under § 501(c)(3)), Form 1024 (for organizations recognized exempt under most other paragraphs of § 501(c)), or the letter submitted under the paragraphs for which no form is prescribed, together with supporting documents and any letter or document issued by the IRS concerning the application. (emphasis added)

The information returns are the Form 990 , Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax, Form 990-EZ , Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax, Form 990-PF, Return of Private Foundation, Form 990-BL , Information and Initial Excise Tax Return for Black Lung Benefit Trusts and Certain Related Persons, and the Form 1065, U.S. Partnership Return of Income.

Ms. Cathy Kittell,

To follow is the response to your request for the reasons prompting the decision to rescind access to applications, and to remove contact information from the National Roster.

Placing apps on hold when the applicant had not even been contacted, and placing too many apps on hold. The web site instructs: "Use this option when you are seriously considering an applicant for an adoption. This will notify other rescuers not to contact the applicant about dogs they are placing. Of great concern was the fact that two applications that had only been on file for two (2) days were on hold. Please remove the Hold if you do not place a Bulldog with the Applicant." No way could there be that many adoptions in progress. This is not being a team player and it can prevent applicants from ever being allowed to adopt because other rescuers may not review the application when it is on Hold. It has had a negative effect on other BCARN members who feel that Joanne isn't "playing fair". Unfortunately your alliance with Joanne in Heavensent Bulldog Rescue has not been to your advantage

-- Allowing dogs to be adopted intact. One intact male was adopted out twice. On this particular dog, Joanne had been questioned because the web posting mentioned that he was not neutered. She replied that ALL dogs placed through rescue were spayed/neutered.

-- Allowing dogs to be adopted without going through foster care. The Code of Conduct clearly describes when this can be done as follows: "Arrange adoptions without a period of foster care only when the dog is already spayed or neutered, and up to date on vaccinations with documentation provided. The dog should be evaluated in the current home to ensure that the temperament is sound and any medical issues can be managed by the adopter. When possible, the dog should be transported to the adopting home by a BCA Rescue Network member or another responsible rescue transport volunteer."

-- Not being able (or willing?) to advise rescue who has the 3 Chester County dogs from the shelter in Reading PA. While it was important to get the dogs into foster homes quickly, it just is not possible for permanent adoptions to be arranged in a day or two for dogs just coming out of a shelter. A foster care contract should have been completed, stating that the foster caretaker
would return the dog to BCARN if/when requested, and the Hold-Harmless Agreement to release BCARN from liability for any losses or damages. None of these guidelines were followed.

Rescuers must keep the contact information for the person who has each foster and adopted dog. From the Code of Conduct: "Keep accurate records of all Bulldogs entering the rescue program and where they were placed." Not being *able* to tell us implies that the paperwork wasn't done. Not being *willing* to tell us goes back to the lack of teamwork.

Hi Stefanie/Cindy:

As I stated in my email to you, Stephanie, last evening at  8:07pm EST, I am  still unable to log in to the BCA site.  I have several dogs to place, and a potential adoption underway, and I need access to the applications!   Please help me ASAP - there are dogs and families counting on us and I can't help them without access.

I am not aware that I have violated any rules which would cause my login/ID to be revoked.  Whatever the case may be here, it can't be more important than the bulldogs who need our help. 

Please contact me as soon as possible.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Cathy,

I am sorry, I can’t give you access to the applications. I cannot discuss the details at this time, but Karen Massaro should be providing more information shortly. I regret that this had to be done without advance notice.   I agree we don’t want this to disadvantage the dogs. Let’s talk about what we need to do.

How many dogs do you have that need to be placed? What are their situations, and where are they currently? Have you already spoken with the potential adopters and checked their references?

Stefanie,

At this point I am quite dismayed and honestly, disgusted at the way I have been treated during the past two days.

As I reported to you on September 27, 2006, my login privileges were revoked with no warning, and although you say you regret having had to take this action without advance notice, that does not make up for the frustration and embarrassment that I have endured in trying to perform my duties as a volunteer with the public.  I learned yesterday that not only were my login privileges revoked, preventing me from accessing applications of people I'm already working with and potentially good homes for dogs I'm trying to place, but my name and contact information were removed from the BCA rescue roster.  I can only hope that there is not a dog in need in the state of New Jersey tonight, for that person and dog would be at a loss as to who to contact within the BCA organization in New Jersey. 

My name has been on the rescue roster since July of this year.  I can provide you with a log of the many phone calls I have received, adoptions I've facilitated, transport, home visits, counseling and rescue duties I have performed in the past three months.

With that said, if you feel you can not grant me access to the BCA applications, and I must wait for Karen Massaro to explain the reason that I was removed without any explanation or notice then I will respectfully request that the president of the BCA refund my BCA membership dues in full as soon as possible.

The purpose of my joining the BCA was to perform rescue duties to the utmost of high standards in the eye of the club, the public and my peers.  Blocking my access to applications and removing my name is a slap in the face to me, my standards, my reputation, and insulting to my intelligence and my dignity.  I have done nothing to warrant this kind of treatment.

As I stated in my last note, I have several bulldogs that need to be placed, but at this point I feel that it would be in mine and the families/dogs best interest to accomplish this using my own resources.

Sincerely,
Cathy Kittell

Hello Cathy,

I received your email, and while I can understand your upset, you must understand that this was not an action taken lightly, or without great consideration.  The decision was not made for any other reason than it was in the best interests of the rescue bulldogs, and the rescue organization as a whole. 

I will be composing a correspondence which will clearly delineate all the reasons for this action having been taken.

I did have one question for  you.  You said this action prevented you from accessing applications of families/individuals that you are currently working with.  I have a problem understandiing that.  It would seem obvious that if you were working with a family that you would have printed out the application to have close at hand.  The apps contain a great deal of information, and I for one couldn't possibly retain all that information without having the application to refer to.  Perhaps your memory skills are better than mine.

I assure you that I will complete the letter and have it posted to you within a few days.

Best,
Karen Massaro

Thanks for that clarification.  However, we're not speaking about programming, or software systems, we're talking about information relative to a safe, appropriate placement for a bulldog.  Unless you have a photographic memory, printed information is sometimes the best way to go.

Subject: Heavensent

Dear Stefanie,

Why??

why did you let this happen?
why have you done nothing to rectify it?
why would you EVER allow someone like Kathy Degrande to do this??? 

I WAS a member of LSBC for about 6 years before Kathy started coming to the meetings. within 2 years everyone who was actively involved with this club started to drop out.
reason...........Kathy Degrande. 

You are a person who is respected, and i am so very disappointed that you are not standing up for what is right, Heavensent has done nothing wrong. Kathy was insulted, so she gets her friend  to remove Heavensent from the rescue roster who is this really hurting the dogs thats who but Kathy doesn't care about the dogs she only cares about herself and trying to make herself look good.

I helped Joanne with a rescue out of Berks County , Kathy was notified first, but she said the dog did not have the "classic" bulldog look, so she was not interested. This is the kind of person you want representing your orginization? someone who only wants the dogs that have "the look"? or maybe she only wants the dogs with the publicity surrounding them, like these females from the Michael Wolfe raid. You should be ashamed of yourself for not addressing this and putting a stop to people abusing  their positions. I am a believer in rescue, but if your rescue orginization is just another "clique" then shame on you.

I hope you do not allow Kathy Degrande to put an end to a dedicated and hard working group like Heavensent. Joanne and her group have placed many dogs into loving homes, isn't that what rescue is about? 

Thank you,

Hello, Sandra,

Thank you for expressing your concern about the decision that Heaven Sent rescue should no longer be associated with BCARN. I take it you do not know all the reasons that Karen and I felt this was a necessary decision. It has been building up for several months, with information coming from more than one source and being carefully considered. I will not engage in a point-by-point debate of who did what to whom.

Please be aware that we have done nothing to prevent Heaven Sent from continuing their rescue work. They can rescue Bulldogs with or without “the look”, as they wish. And BCARN will continue to rescue as many purebred Bulldogs as we can. I believe that is what our supporters expect.

To add insult to injury - More Sad News.  Not only has the world lost sweet Winston, who wanted nothing more from life than some meatballs, a kind touch and some gentle words, RESCUE is not getting the benefit of someone who gives of her heart and soul, not to mention her home and resources, to rescue bulldogs.  Joanne Hale is being persecuted by the BCA Rescue Network because of politics and personalities.  Joanne is not "permitted" to be involved in "BCA-sanctioned" rescue because she did not play the politics game.  Cathy is not permitted to be involved because of her "unfortunate" association with Joanne. 

If it wasn't for Joanne, at best, Winston would have died locked in a basement starving to death.  If it wasn't for Joanne, he never would have known a happy moment in his WHOLE LIFE.  If it wasn't for Joanne, his tail would never have wagged again.  THINK ABOUT ALL THE DOGS OUT THERE WHO ARE BEING DISCARDED AT THIS VERY MOMENT BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE "IN CHARGE" DON'T LIKE JOANNE OR DIDN'T GET WHAT THEY WANTED.  THEY DON'T PUT THE DOGS FIRST.  RESCUING DOGS IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF RESCUE - NOT GETTING IN THE NEWSPAPER - NOT THANK YOUS - NOT RECOGNITION - EGO does not belong in rescue.  Rescue takes HEART and GUTS and PERSEVERENCE.

All of you are witnesses to the love and caring Joanne gives to the SICK AND SUFFERING, ABANDONED AND DISCARDED, LONELY AND LOST, UNWANTED AND FORGOTTEN bulldogs.  These are the dogs who are not IN the news.  She gets nothing material out of it, and usually no recognition.  What Joanne gets is to know in her heart that she's made a difference in the bulldog's life.  Joanne has a heart of gold.  There is no bulldog too sick, too old, too hard or too far gone.  To subject her to this kind of treatment is simply insane.

Yep!  This is a classic example of the lunatics running the asylum.  Someone who does what Joanne does for rescue should get a medal, not a kick in the ass.  For Joanne, rescue is a 24/7 job.  To criticize, ostracize and defame her is just not right.  There comes a point when you have to stand up and say, "This is just not right.  I'm not going to sit still for this treatment."  If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.  STAND UP for Joanne and HeavenSent.  Thanks to all of you who already have.  We can't thank you enough for your support.

My name is Anna Gristina and I adopted Buhbee ( remember the un adoptable dog) you thought should be put to sleep. Well I must say you should both be ashamed of yourself for the way you have handled the  dropping of Heavensent from the rescue roster.. I am not directly affiliated with them other than they HELPED Buhbee get out of the hell he was in and to me. Yes they helped him... I know for a fact Sonya his old owner was told to put him down by you guys... 

Do you really care about the rescue of the suffering dogs??? Or more about your power plays and power trips. RESCUE is about the best interest of helping the dogs in need. You should be removed from this organization and let people who truly love the dogs and put there needs first take over.. 

I pledge my help in any way I can to Heavensent for what they did for Buhbee and all the other dogs. I am going to send a sizable donation to help with any legal fees they may encounter due to your power plays and un professional games. At the expense of the dogs...

I never get involved in other people's crap, but i feel so strongly for the dogs in need that I had to get involved...Your BS is hurting the chances of some bullies getting placed.. you are selfish and shameful.... 

You should be ashamed of yourself'. So ashamed. 

will defiantly be making some powerful calls tomorrow to look into the funding and distribution for donations to see if they have been appropriately spent. After all your shameful display of power mogul leaves me in doubt as to what else is going on and how the organization is handling the donated funds as your apparent removal of Heavensent was not in the best interest of the dogs.... IS IT...

I will be calling the attorney-general in your state to ask them how I can obtain the public information ...Its my right as a citizen to request this .. 

And for the record I went to meet a dog in LI one year ago.. No home check no call to my vet or references .. I could have driven him home.. other than he was way to much Bulldog for new bullie owners and we elected to not adopt him.... so don't throw stones at other rescues groups  when the flaws run in every group...
