They rescue ALL animals in danger not just Pit Bulls. Just an FYI....

They aren't a pit bull rescue - they rescue ANY ANIMAL that has been inhumanely treated.

Patch, don't be fooled. The PSPCA is just trying to smear Justice Rescue to cover up their own failings. 1) Justice Rescue does more than save pitbulls, they've also come to the aid of cats, horses, and many other breeds of dog. 2) The owner voluntarily handed the dog over; he filled out a voluntary release form, signed it, and gave them a copy of his driver's license. 3) All of this happened in *September.* Why is he making an issue now? 4) PSPCA had gotten numerous complaints about the dog, Rocky, being left out all day and night in the cold, in an uncovered chainlink pen, on a short chain leash. PSPCA didn't do anything about it, so Justice Rescue stepped up, as they have done countless times before AND since. This whole thing is just a weak smear campaign which is totally untenable. Get the facts!

I have to agree with Kay, above. Many times a concerned neighbor will call the SPCa about cruelty to a dog in their neighborhood, only to have the SPCA investigate and say everything's fine. You even see that happening on Animal Planet, where the authorities have been called about an abused animal, and the authorities say the treatment is okay (because the dog has a doghouse, even though he's left outside in 5 degree weather). I don't think the SPCA likes these guys getting accolades (and donations), when the SPCA would rather the money go to them. JMO.

I live in Delaware County, have followed Justice Rescue from their inception. My family and I have met them at the Delco SPCA Bark in The Park event. They are gentle, caring men and women. The report from Fox 29 is unfair and biased. There would be many dead animals if Justice Rescue didn't step up and remove them (LEGALLY) from abusive situations. People.... they are the GOOD GUYS!!!! Follow them, read their mission statement, research all the good they have done. People all over the world respect and support them. Do you honestly think 13,000 people are wrong???? Isn't it about time the truth is reported! One other thing... I do NOT and WILL NOT donate my hard earned money to waste it! I trust them and I believe in their mission. Thank you.

How does the media keep getting this wrong???! Sooo many things not being reported correctly...most importantly...the dog was turned over by the owner..signed paperwork..truth will come out!!

To answer your question these guys are true hero's...along with the rest of their top notch staff, volunteers, and esp their followers! They do their homework..and they do investigate before they suggest an owner surrender. Their mission is to help. Evidently pspca dropped the ball on this poor puppy that was chained outside in a used car lot in bad weather..expected to do an adult dogs "job"! sounds neglectful to me...imho.

TRUE heroes. Their first rescue was six mangy, pitiful abandoned puppies. I have one of them now, and she thrives, because of JUSTICE RESCUE. Fox was irresponsible and unprofessional. They did NO research on Justice Rescue before putting their awful, one sided story on the air by an unprofessional reporter. Disgraceful. THEY are heroes.

I am behind Justice Rescue 1000% Period!

I have personally met these men and they are caring, brave guys who truly care about the welfare of animals. They offer information and advice to people to better care for their pets, they have helped build shelters for people who cannot afford it, they have provided vet care to the animals they rescue and find foster and homes for these animals. They do all of this while working regular jobs. To criticize them or accuse them of wrong doing or even calling them bad in any way is beyond ridiculous. Get your facts straight before you print lies and allegations against people who are helping animals. To help those who cannot help themselves should be praised.

Justice Rescue are heroes. They are always on the side of an animals welfare. They never pretend to be something they are not...and notices left clearly state they are from Justice Rescue. They actually work with families and the community on the proper care of animals. This slander that is going on is reprehensible. I would like to see someone with some sense do some research instead of parroting all the lies....that is, if they really care about the animals and not just wanting to jump on a bandwagon of sensationalism for some misguided attention.

Justice Rescue rescued by furbaby from a dumpster!!! Thank God for Wolf and House!!!!

George Bengal is an ineffective incompetent moron. Justice Rescue is something that Philly can and should be proud of.....not target because they make the rest of the city government look bad....shame on you PSPCA!!!!

Justice Rescue SAVES animals and they HELP CHILDREN and FAMILIES in need. This mess needs to be cleaned up ASAP!

Justice is a group of the best people an animal could find. Their only interest is making sure animals are safe and cared for. They have given up nights, weekends, time with family and friends to help these animals in need. If you would check them out you would see how they help families with their pets, supplying food, beds, vet care whatever they can do to help people take care of their pets. Do some more research before you going printing articles full of untruths.

First of all, Patch should check your facts, because nearly your entire story is inaccurate. Justice Rescue is based in Woodlyn, PA - not Havertown. Second, the PSPCA allowed the dog in question to be adopted - not as a loving companion animal, but to live outside, ALONE (there were no other dogs on the lot) and guard a car lot in a really rotten part of the city - because the owner of the lot is too cheap to purchase a security system. In rain, sleet, snow and freezing conditions, his dogs are left on the lot to suffer. This particular dog was kept on a 3 foot chain. It was pathetic. Next, the photo you use in the article isn't even the two men who were arrested - only one of them. The PSPCA either can't or WON'T do anything about their dogs being adopted as guard dogs, and apparently would rather rip a reputable organization to shreds, rather than taking responsibility of allowing the dog to end up on the lot in the first place, and enforcing the laws to keep the dog safe. This story - when the facts come out - will only serve to diminish the already tarnished reputation of the PSPCA because someone did their job better than they can. It's a pissing war, and the dogs are suffering. This stupid 19 year old kid who runs the car lot subjects these friendly and loving dogs (yes, I know the dogs) to an awful life, and he and his trashy family certainly are the real villians in this inaccurate story.

I know both of these men personally and know that best interest of the animals in mind. They neither want nor need to impersonate ANYONE let alone "steal" an animal from someone. Justice Rescue does things by the book -- there is NO wavering from that rule -- EVER! God Bless Justice Rescue for the love, time, dedication and personal funds they put into each and every rescue.

I have followed the work of Justice Rescue since a friend adopted a dog from them. They are saving the lives of animals and finding them forever homes with people who love and take excellent care of them. There are animals on the streets tonight that will not be saved because of this bs. Get your facts straight and stop repeating malicious and unfounded lies about these good men. I guess it is true that no good deed goes unpunished!

These guys are truly dedicated animal lovers. George Bengal is a moron for labeling them vigilantes! The SPCA murdered animals for the longest time and are just now phasing that out, who are they to speak out against these heroes? Wolf, House, etc. have dedicated their lives to the well being of all animals. So many people abuse and neglect their animals and these guys don't stand for it. They did not steal a dog and they do not do anything illegal.

Amazing how PSPCA had no problem with Justice Rescue giving out free dog food to people who couldn't afford it for their pets, building dog houses for those that had NO shelter (out-of-pocket, of course), responding to in-home animal medical emergencies (including FREE-to-the-family follow-up medical care), or large monetary rewards to help lead to the capture/conviction of animal abusers. George Bengal "can't go traipsing around someone's property"? Okay. Well George, did you bother to go traipsing around PA overnight, on Christmas Eve, in the cold and snow, looking through the streets and alleys for unsheltered, loose, or endangered animals?
That's right, you didn't. It was the men of JUSTICE RESCUE who did that.
And you have the nerve, as Director of Law Enforcement for PSPCA to tell people if "they don't want animals outside, they should direct their resources to lobbying Harrisburg." Are you serious?? Do you realize the first "P" in PSPCA stands for PREVENTION? As in, preventing the cruelty to animals?
This rescue went out and for FREE, legally did what PSPCA is PAID to do-ensure the animals' safety.
Anyone with eyes who has seen the photos of the condition of the "shelter" this dog was kept in will agree it was dangerous and cruel. Except the PSPCA,of course.

If this dog had frozen to death in that so-called "shelter" at the lot during one of those Code Blues, would he have been given as much publicity as has been spent trying to vilify these volunteers?

Heroes...no doubt about it. These men have the courage and heart to provide voices to those who cannot speak. I am both appalled and ashamed of the PSPCA's behavior. For the PSPCA, my checkbook is now closed, but Justice Recue will have another donor.

Maybe justice rescue should run the PSPCA. If they do so much good without funding to save these animals, just think of how much MORE they could do, animals they could save with the resources of PSPCA. I the PSPCA lived animals as much as these men do and if they did their job, there wouldn't be an issue because Rocky wouldn't have been there to begin with. My donations will now go to support Justice Rescue since they are the ones who really care!!!

I guess this Patch is just like Fox... no response. But not as bad as PSPCA who censored remarks by changing their facebook page so NO one else could comment. Cowardly.

Why would these folks go through all of this "trouble" if they did not feel the dog was either neglected or in danger? That does not make any sense. I would personally like to meet them and thank them for their love & support for these animals. Look at all of the above comments! Not one comment had a single negative thing to say about them.

JR is nothing but a bunch of glory seekers. everyone in rescue , like myself have been waiting for this day. many rescues have reached out to them and got no results, stealing a dog from a non violent person and claiming the glory, yeah that sounds about right. trust me people you've been had

no 1 in rescue is in it for the glory. these guys are all about the glory. trust me from someone on the inside.

Joan, lets not say that unless you want to finish up the story, since you're on the inside. I'm sure everyone else would like to hear what you have to say unless you're afraid to get sued for slander.

Joan, you clearly have your head up your rear. The egos in rescue are out of control. Let's not lose focus of the most important thing here, the animals being saved. Oh, perhaps you feel there should be an oscar involved. Ty JR & anyone else out saving animal lives. No rescue can be everywhere 100% of the time. Only we can help.

Joan, where on "the inside" are you? Please share specifics/facts/names, etc.?

Yup many time. lol fools

If that's an "answer" to my questions, then you would know JR works with police, animal control, etc. They have thanked them, given them the credit they deserve and have asked everyone......numerous times......to meet so everyone can start/continue to work together.

"joan" lol. The one person that doesn't put their full name but she's on the inside. The inside of Fox

The media tried to do the same thing to Rescue Ink. I'm a volunteer at a shelter and have met some of the guys from Rescue Ink. They too are good guys doing a good thing. The media can not be trusted.
