k9mom Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Everyone, I am writing because I was contacted by Michele Sebeso about a problem with a woman named Naomi Browlow. I have been in contact with Naomi via e-mails for two years, since she adopted Cody. She contacted me because our rescue, Amazing Aussies, rescues and re-homes Lethal White Australian Shepherds. We had Cody on our Coast to Coast page to try to help her place him, as she said she could not bring him back to AZ when she moves at the first of next year. Next I hear is that he bit a child and this is the 2nd or 3rd time and they were having him PTS. It had been my understanding all along that she only had 2 dogs, Cody and Zoey. Michele however told me about all the dogs she's had and how she has had them PTS for various reasons. Because our organization rescues these babies, I am very concerned about her moving back to AZ. I know she will want to be involved with us, and from what I have just learned, we will not allow this. If you have any more information you would like to share with me, please send me a mail. In the meantime, I will let my partners and some Aussie rescue folks know about what is going on. We also have a rescue Yahoo group for AZ rescuers with a DNA (do not adopt) list, and I will post to that list to inform the rescues in our area. I will also get word out to some other folks that do special needs rescue in CA and other parts of the country. Thank you all, and a special thanks to Michele for notifying me. From Naomi's e-mails, I NEVER would have guessed.........I feel so bad about Cody, and now that I know he may have been PTS for no reason, I feel even worse! Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Thank you for spreading the word. We are all really sad about Cody and we donty want Naomi to do this ever again! :cry: Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Lorraine, welcome to Dogo first of all and most importantly thank you for broadcasting to your rescue group colleagues about Naomi. Thank you for doing your hardest to ensure another furbabe like Cody isn't euthanased unnecessarily. Thanks to the power of the internet we will do our hardest to ensure that she never is able to adopt again and dispose of a dog :evil: Quote
BuddysMom Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Well said everyone ... Michele you are a HERO, you did it babe! :angel: Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Good Job Michelle! ANd thanks for getting the word out.. Maybe we can put a stop to Naomi's madness. Quote
CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Woah! When she mentioned PTS i was thinking Zoey! I wonder what she decided to do with Tank? :cry: :x Quote
imported_Irena Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 hi k9mom welcome to dogo i hope you going to stay thanx for spreading the word. and Michele i hop we'll never be enemy LOL :lol: Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Wow, thanks Lorraine, for taking the time to come here and investighate. Please don't feel bad, Naomi fooled all of us here for almost two years as well, until she was on her third dog (One was PTS for "health" reasons, the other gieven away, and not long ago she aquired the third), then we realized something was suspicious and confronted her. Most of us, myself included, took Cody's death pretty hard, not to mention the story that went along with it was proven fabricated. As far as I know no one really knows if he bit a child, or Naomi herself, but it has been confirmed the bite did NOT happen like she said it did, and no one came to her door and ordered her to have Cody PTS like she said. Its a shame that people who seem to have good intentions and seem to want to help the rescue community can be so deceiving. Quote

(I seriously don't remember that ever coming up) Quote
Crested Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Oh my God! :o I've missed on so much when I've been gone. I just... can't... I mean... Oh my God! :o Naomi helped me get info about how to care for deaf dogs when I found out that Bella's sister was deaf. I can't believe that she would EVER... do THIS! :o I'm sorry guys, this is just a HUGE shock for me. ...I don't even know what to say... :cry: Poor Cody... Poor Zoey... :cry: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 [quote name='Crested'] :cry: Poor Cody... Poor Zoey... :cry:[/quote] Poor Moose, Stryker and Boonie. Not to mention Tank! :( Welcome back, Crested! And thanks Lorraine for giving Michele and Dogo some time to explain things! Quote

__crazy_canine__ Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah Crested, youve def. missed A LOT! :o Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Cody has been having aggression issues, I dont doubt that. Some people have said he has indeed attacked a child. We dont know if he has for sure attacked Naomi.... supposedly she got 15 stitches but Alena saw her the day Cody got PTS, and she didnt see anything. So, it doesnt mean she didnt get attacked but its unlikely. :-? Before that, she was talking about leaving her husband because of his drinking problem. She was going to move in with her family in Arizona before she was going to move Texas. She didnt want to take Zoey with because supposedly no apartments allowed rotties where she looked and Zoey is Justins dog.... not to mention, Zoey "resented" her after she got another dog, Boonie (who Ill talk about next), and was misbehaving and Naomi couldnt take it anymore. :roll: Boonie, a pom, was from a rescue who she and BaileysMom suspected of being a puppy mill.... yeah, it makes no sense to me either but oh well. :-? He was older and has heartworms. She took him to the vet and treated him but it was so bad he had to be PTS. I have my doubts about it but if thats the case then she did nothing wrong. Before she was going to get Boonie she talked about getting a teacup chihuahua. :roll: The product of a BYB. She was being dumb and said something like, "If I want a certain breed, Im going to get that certain breed," when people tried to tell her it wasnt a good idea. Then she flipped out saying we should know her better than that and she wouldnt buy from a BYB. :roll: Anyway, then she got another pom from rescue (whether its the same one as before I ahve no idea) named Stryker. Well, things were fine with that until she decided he liked little kids too much and was "sad" at her home. She let baileysMom take Stryker and then she was off to get another toy, *cough* I mean, animal, to replace this one. :x thats when Tank came along. Supposedly she was volunteering with a rescue and fell in love with this scared little 8-week-old kitten. She took him home and still has him. Then she got Moose another pom. Thats when everyone kinda got fed up with her behaviour and she left Dogo. She went over to Ripleys Retreat and was calling us names, making fun of us and saying how mean we are. :lol: Recently K found another thread from her in Ripleys Retreat and thats how we found out Cody had passed. :cry: Quote
Crested Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 ...unfortunately. :-? And I'm not even sure if I want to know more. Quote
schippsmom Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 :Dog_run: Michele, you are amazing, thank you for all your hard work on this. I know this will help. I think DAL will be in for a big shock sometime soon :evilbat: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 No one messes with Dogo and gets away with it. :evilbat: Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I didnt even say thanks to you Michele. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for taking the stand and promoting awareness. You truly are one of the brilliant people and I respect you so much for doing that for the nation of furbabes that can't speak for themselves. (((((((hugs))))))) :wink: Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 So has anyone contacted Oasis? If not, I will. Quote
bk_blue Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Well done Michele- so glad you didn't listen to that nasty, pessimistic, condescending poster who said your efforts would get you nowhere. And thank you Lorraine for helping out- you're very kind to come and explain things. :) Quote
JackieMaya Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Michele, thank you SOOO much for all that you're doing to hopefully ensure that Naomi will never be able to get another pet. Lorraine, welcome to Dogo and thank you too for getting the word out. Quote
cheechweech Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Thanks to Michele and Lorraine for their tremendous efforts to make sure this doesn't happen to another poor dog! :angel: Quote
