1. Sorry, Lee, but you will never get through to these idiots.

2. These people were never dog parents. They were dog owners who want someone else to handle it.

3. Sending gratitude, respect, love and Good Vibes to Rebecca and the entire Asher house team. Thank you for all that y'all do.

4. Sending love & prayers to Rebecca and all your team Lee!❤🙏❤️

5. I did what Rebecca is doing for three years for a large animal sanctuary in the United States. They told us most people would burn out after two years . I definitely stayed too long because I wanted to hurt some of the people when I saw what they did to animals. I heard all the terrible stories and I saw the awful pictures people send to you thinking this will make you take their pets. They just don't understand we would be sent hundreds of pics every week and they would just make us hate the person who sent them and feel overwhelmed. I will never get those pics out of my head. I knew I needed to get out when a woman threw her cat at me with a $20.00 bill and sped off in her car screaming "this is your job" or the woman who wanted to "donate" her black cat because he didn't match her new decor, but was wondering if we had an orange tabby that would match. We had many, but not for her. Take care of Rebecca. Let her do a different job for a while. Don't let her get to the place I did where I couldn't cry anymore.

6. Lee, I am so grateful for this video that you put out. It’s truly how it is in the world unfortunately. Sometimes I lose faith in people but then I tell myself there are great wonderful people in this world. I try not to focus on the, sick minded and ill willed people and just focus on the people who are doing good. It’s so true about having your own animals and then for some reason not being able to take care of them anymore. Yes, they are still their responsibility and no one else’s. I myself am heartbroken because I am not in the position to adopt a dog which is what I so desperately want in my life. I think about dogs every day, and it almost is an interruption or even an obsession. Well, maybe not to that extreme but sometimes it is consuming. I have a cat and he’s beautiful and he does give me comfort. I rescued him and he loves being here. I’ve had many cats in my lifetime and many dogs. I’ve been truly blessed by every one of them. All my cats have been awesome. All with beautiful personalities. I’m not trying to float my own boat, but I seem to truly have a connection with animals in a deep way. I myself don’t hang around with many people or haven’t. It’s not like I’m socially awkward. I just am one of those people who focuses on my daughter, and I keep to myself. If my house was filled with dogs though, it would be my dream come true! My financial situation prevents me from my dream. I don’t care about money. I just need enough to live and get by. I don’t care about material things. I don’t care about designer, clothes or fancy shoes. I dream about money enough to be able to have a dog. I live next to an elderly complex and I have offered to walk anybody’s dog that needs walking. A lot of them have dogs and sometimes are unable to. So a few of them have taken that offer up. I get my dog fix in that way for now, lol. But it’s not the same. I long for a dog. It may sound silly, but I actually pray about being able to rescue a dog. Give them a safe and loving home. Someday I believe that will come true. But sorry now I’m rambling. I just want to say you said that it’s irresponsible for people to to just expect that somebody should now take over the responsibility of having their dog.
   And I also want to say it makes me truly happy and it warms my soul to watch your videos. It makes me so happy for the dogs and it makes me so happy that there are people like you still. And giving up on humanity is not the answer. Got to put out the good vibes and hope it spreads. You’re a beautiful person and I admire you. May you have so many many blessings headed your way. Thanks for what you do.

7. Having been in rescue for years – responding to emails like Rebecca – I will send her all sorts of love and healing because I know how difficult it is for her because you want to take that dog (or in my case – cat).

8. Spot on with how people just put their problems on others so they feel better, if i had a dollar for every person i have known like that i would be able to open 1000 sanctuaries

9. You said it. People don't want to blame themselves it's easier to place blame on others. You're one if my favorite rescues. I love how you love each of your babies

10. Hi Rebecca! This is Rebecca too! Thank you for all that you do for the Asher House! As a member of such an extraordinary team, I know how much you must want to help every dog possible. It's so unfortunate that some dogs get the rotten luck of being owned by such terrible people. Please remember, do what you are able, but you are not a bellhop. Let them deal with their own baggage.

11. Thanks for all you guys do for our furry friends. I hope people listen to your message. Have an awesome day

12. Lee, not only are you a rescuer of four legged animals…you are a rescuer of 2 legged ones as well!!! Love to you, the pups, cats, and mostly to Rebecca!!!

13. COMPASSIONATE HEART I WATCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND SPREAD THIS KINDNESS

14. Everything you say is true Lee,you are so articulate, I agree 100%You and your team are all Angels,sending love from Bedfordshire, England 🇬🇧 ❤

15. People are emotionally manipulative using the guilt trips. Im older with rescue dogs and i talk to my kids and have people to care for my dogs if something happens to me. My plan as i age is to rescue older dogs who won't live a decade. Older sick dogs are overlooked and would not be adopted.

16. Looks like what he needed to get off his chest, was his shirt….

17. That’s awful!!

18. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

19. So sad and hedious and soooo manipulative to say the least. I feel sad for Rebecca who has to read these messages and I’m sure it hurts her heart.

20. Will be using the term "F-n-Q's" from now on😂 And big hugs and aloha to Rebecca 🙌🏾

21. I have to stay with mine till the end and my neighbours tried to have them put down. Luckily the court did not comply with my neighbours. So many people are sick in spirit I prefer to feel sorry for them. Keep loving and giving to all your fur babies.

22. That’s so sad how people want to pass their dogs unto someone else and then when they don’t get their way their threaten the dogs life and poor Rebecca to put up with such ugly words from ugly people

23. You and your staff do not deserve this. You have worked so very hard and are coming from a heart of gold. You have been amazing and I’ve followed you from day one. My love to you and yr staff. Paw prayers.

24. So true

25. Soo true, people project their issues on everyone else. Good for you for calling crap out. Good Always wins, but it isn't easy. There are a lot of crappy people out there, it's up to good people to show them the right way. ❤

26. I did not know you had F and Q. Thank you. I will check 😅

27. I LOVE YOU ❤️ GUYS!!!

28. Looking for money again

29. We need more people like you in the world Lee…and Rebecca….what you do is amazing….the dogs need your humanity ❤

30. Hugs to you, Rebecca! 🥰You're on the frontlines, which is never easy. I have found that people who abuse their dogs (and other animals) normally abuse other humans in their life (i.e. wife, husband, children) with ease, so they will be confrontational with you no matter what. It's good that Lee keeps a cool head during a lot of these rescues … the priority always remaining the safety and welfare of the dog, cat, or other animal. ❤

31. From one Rebecca to another. Please look after your soul.
    My Dad says :

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.

    Being a dog loving empath, I’m sending Rebecca my love.

    Ps ; The God bit is arbitrary … it’s just good philosophy per se

32. Amen, couldn't of said it any better.

33. Maybe your better followers could take over that task so Asher House could 'do the work'!

34. Hate people. Love dogs!

35. Well said. You do you!

36. Like your assistant I effin hate people like that. The way some people treat animals they should get the same treatment. Some people just need to have their teeth kicked in end of story. You are doing God’s work Lee.

37. Thank you

38. That's why we seriously need a better control and some kind of license to own dogs – one for each breed! Very severe fines and consequences if you don't care enough or treat them badly. A lot of those who buy one without putting much thought into it would hopefully think twice then – or better don't get one in the first place. Dogs are no toys or "things"!!! You can't toss them aside when they become an inconvenience to you or "put them down"! Those people aren't decent humans – they lack common sense and empathy! 🤨😓

39. GET FUCK8NG DRESSED. We don't need to see your chest for you to get something off it. I would prefer NOT.

40. Rebecca is so kind, helpful, diligent, and quick to respond.
    Be thoughtful and kind!!! Remember that she's a person and treat someone how you want to be treated! Would you treat your Mama that way and hopefully NOT your children or furbabies!!! ❤

41. The hardest thing to do is to detach from hurtful vile comments😢 your staff deserves respect from people & peace at the end of the day. Unfortunately there will always be mean- spirited people. Hooe your staff can find a way to detach from nasty comments by ignorant people & find a way to detach emotionally. Not easy to do but worth a try for sanity & peace of mind which your staff so deserve❤

42. Asher House and staff are a gift from God. Treasure them and the work they do. Put resources on your website so its right there for people. Mean spirited people are probably not very nice to anyone, so don't take it personally.

43. The fact that she takes the time to give them other resources is truly AMAZING! If they truly care for the animal they will be so thankful for the info. Hugs, Love and Prayers to you All!! ❤

44. Dearest Kind Decent Lee:
    Keep SAVING ANIMALS EVERY DAY & EVERY WAY YOU CAN! DONT LOSE IT!
    I have actively worked as a volunteer dog rescue worker since 1980 &
    I ADORE ALL GOD’S CREATURES- EVEN PEOPLE!! Keep laughing out loud
    I can no longer keep up my tally on how many souls/lives I have saved along the path! My job is a Nurse & a Midwife- so I think I Come by this extra Avocation Naturally!
    I am comforted by the thought that when I pass on, I will get to cross the Rainbow Bridge & reunite with all my dear furry & scaly friends gone ahead of me! They are guiding my choices & lifestyle every day & always- keeping my choices conscious & conscientious!

    Live the Life You Love & You Become the True Gift to All Who Know You!
    Thank You for your Guidance, Kindness Caring & the Wise Path You Chose!

    Deepest Regards:
    Geti & Terry

45. Lee, when are you going to get married and have lots of babies? You would make a great dad.

46. I am so so sorry for you and your team to have to deal with this. You are all amazing. You are 100% correct.
