I was searching on adoptapet.com for a german shepherd dog and came across Ellie, the dog, who was available for adoption/rescue through tragictomagic.org for $200. I submitted an adoption form and instantly was emailed back. Dana Dallabetta (scammer) and I emailed back and forth about Ellie and then switched to text. For back story purposes, Tragic to Magic is a non-profit organization that takes donations when you want to rescue one of their animals. Dana said in order for Ellie to be transported to Bremerton, WA (where I am based per the Navy), I would have to “donate” $150 to the organization as a transportation fee. Done and donated. Ellie was transported and I got her just fine. Then Dana began harassing me for the $200 adoption “fee”. Where I got skeptical is when she began saying it was for rent, how she lived table to mouth, and to pay off bills. In addition, Ellie was not in the condition, as stated by Dana, when we received her. Under the “organization”’s terms and agreements, they are supposed to give out animals that are fully vaccinated and to the best health possible. Ellie was not fully vaccinated. She had a procedure done, just 5 days prior to coming to me, which was documented nowhere. She was being overdosed on the medication I was given to treat her ehrlichia. She was emaciated. And all sorts of other things. I gave Dana one last text after she kept harassing me saying I was hesitant to pay per the aforementioned examples and proceeded to block her. Dana then tried calling me from a scam phone number of 0000000000 and left me a voicemail. I did not respond. Dana then took information off of my adoption application and texted my two references. Both references screenshot and blocked her as well. One of the references she tried calling from an unknown number as well. For her information, it is a donation-thriving organization. I do not have to donate if I don’t see fit. The organization is NOT on the IRS’s tax exempt list for the US and Mexico, and the BBB also has no record of this place. They have no physical address. The email Dana was using is different than the email on the website.

We agreed upon the adoption fee and the transport fee prior to sending the dog. I have sent many dogs to the Seattle area over the years after learning at the "Best Friends" conference that they have a good chance of beign adopted. After this person recieved the dog she refused to pay the adoption fee. We did a "handshake" agreement. I don't ask for adopton fee until they recieve the dog and it almost always works out great. The dog was fully vaccinated so I'm not sure what that was about. She was a beautiful German Shepherd. Yes I texted you many times to try to get payment. AND yes my dog rescue is hand to mouth. I barely pay the vet bills with adoption fees. Not sure why that is hard to understand. I did check references after the fact (my bad) I did not harrass them. I asked about the dog because I became concerned and they told me the dog was loved so I let it go. My number shows up as unknown because I live in Mexcico. I'm not sure why the number shows up wierd in the US. I was not happy that once she got the dog she refused to communicate with me. I like to find out how the dogs are doing. Just ignoring me and acting this way was completely uncool giving that we had an agreement based on trust. I don't recall about the Erlichia but I do many tests including that one. Not all rescues do that. I would not have sent her without explaining the results and sending the medication. She got a beautiful dog basically paying only for transportation. None of the vet bills or sterilization so I'm not sure why she took the time to complain. I think there is some instability mentally. And I do have a 501c in the US. And yes I have more than one email. Nothing shadey going on here. I have saved a lot of dogs. Many are very very sick when I get them. Many are hit with cars. I do the best I can.
