$500 Reward for lost transport dog, Mojo. AKA: Houdini

All of the rescue world is watching this search and rescue as it developed from a Facebook Group (Kindred Hearts Transport Connection) of members and non-members that offer their service to assist shelter dogs and cats to be transported, free of charge, to a destination within the U.S. by using a scheduled run. Each volunteer would hand over the dog to another volunteer driver until the final destination is reached. It is very unfortunate that a special dog named Mojo has been lost twice on this transport.

If you are in the Albert Lea area keep your eyes peeled as there's a $500 reward for Mojo. Current updates state that he is skittish and shouldn't be chased as he'd only run much further away creating more difficulty in his rescue. It is advised to have treats, hot dogs, or McDonald's cheeseburgers with you if you search.

Mojo is a two year old lab mix and was last seen wearing a paw print collar and a black harness. It is uncertain if his tags are still attached or if he is microchipped although the Lost Dog Flyer says he's microchipped. The contact number is on the flyer. Please report here if there's any sightings of Mojo which will tremendously help the searchers. Help get the word out to your friends, neighbors, and all contacts you may have within your local organizations.

BRIEF HISTORY:
Mojo was lost on transport the first time in January when he was being transported from Georgia to Minnesota to a rescue who was willing to take him and find the perfect home for him. In March it was decided Mojo would return to the Georgia home where he'd lived after being released from the shelter. This same dog, Mojo, has been lost twice on transport by this same volunteer group that organized his volunteer travel. They need all the assistance that can be mustered up from the local people. He was lost at the Trails End Truck Stop and has also been sighted behind the Home Depot. It is possible he's in the State Park area nearby.

We need to bring this boy in out of the cold and your help and support is most beneficial. Additional information on Mojo will continue to be posted within this thread.

Please SHARE any ideas, tips, or comments to assist the rescue of Mojo. All help is appreciated as there's very few boots on the ground currently and plans are in the works to bring this rescue of him in much sooner.

Blessings and thanks for your assistance.

$500 Reward for lost transport dog, Mojo. AKA: Houdini

I'm Mojo. Not Toto.

Why isn't anyone searching for me?

Where am I? :dunno:

I'm lost in Albert Lea. Not lost in Kansas. I'm not in a movie but I will feel like the starring character in this search and rescue if you will tell me you'll search for me.

I'm from Georgia. I'm not wanting to be a snowbird but I can be one this time if you'll send me packing back down south to Georgia.

I want to go back home to Georgia where it's never this cold and I've a nice, warm comfy bed waiting for me too! PLEASE HELP ME GO BACK SOUTH!

You're viewing me but you're not talking about me whether you're going to search for me or not.

Is $500 enough for you to search for me? So far that's the amount that the kind supporters have donated for me and I think I'm worth that, don't you?

Have you seen me? Did you pass me by thinking that I'm a stray and no one cares about me? I'm depending on YOU to find me.

I've been missing since March 1, 2013. That's too many days and nights for me to be on the run but trust me that I'm still around and have been seen. I know how to dodge the searchers! (Tee-hee-hee!)

Home Depot has a field that I like very much. I do relocate to other areas and oftentimes revisit where I was first lost at Trails End travel center. I make my rounds. You only have to spend some time to find me.

I liked the barn the farmer had nearby where I was lost. I even went and camped out where it was warmer but the farmer put a padlock on the door and I can't return there anymore. And that got a bunch of searchers into a lot of trouble! One was trying to help find me and got arrested for trespassing on this man's land. I don't want to make the farmer mad again so I can't tell you exactly where it is but if you know Albert Lea and this area you'll find it.

Will you'll take advise from a smart dog like me, Mojo?

Speak with the POLICE first because they know all about me and they've been put on alert about me. The police man can tell you where you need to look. If one police man doesn't know, don't give up, ask another police man. Do you have a friend or neighbor that is a police man? They're very nice police here (I see them drive by all the time) and they can help you to know where to search and where to not search. A lot of acres that I hide in and YOU need to bring me out.

I didn't mean to get the searchers into trouble and I feel so badly about that. They were trying to help me. The farmer is really mad. The organization sent a couple of people to get me and they called the farmer and woke him up! He was really mad. I could hear him shouting! I thought he was mad at me!! He won't let anyone have access to his property now and there's property lines around all these acres where I like to meander and you have to find a way to lure me out whenever I'm there. You must be cautious. He has posted NO TRESPASSING signs.

Are you a GOOD FRIEND of the farmer? Are you RELATED to him?

If you aren't then please don't try to speak with him! He is angry. Very angry! Speak with him but only if you ARE FRIENDS or are RELATED to him. If you are then you might be the one to be able to find me. Please don't contact him in the middle of the night. That will only make him more angry. The police are telling searchers to stay off the farmer's property.

Are you the one that can catch me and bring me out of the frigid cold? Please don't chase me because I'll run from you because too many people are chasing me and I don't know who I can trust now. Please move toward me slowly. Don't try to grab me. Move slowly and speak kindly to me and it might be YOUR trust that I gain.

It's cold out here and I need your help now! There's not too many places of luxury that a lost dog like me can bed down and shield myself from the weather.

Do any of you SKILLED HUNTERS have tracking dogs or a female in heat to search all these places where I've been sighted? Since I'm a male, I'd prefer a female, as you already know. You know how dogs travel in circles. You have experience.

Please be the HERO for me! I need YOU in Albert Lea.

If you read about me here on this discussion forum and you find me will you let everyone here in Albert Lea know that you are MY HERO? This isn't Facebook but there's power in numbers here! Right, Albert Lea? Right!!

Come on ALBERT LEA! Let's hear it for Albert Lea's discussion board reaching out to all the wonderful people in this town which right now if my town too - Mojo's Town!

Be my HERO and my ANGEL in Albert Lea! :rockon:

Posted by lendingahand on Mar. 17 2013,8:35 pm

Do you know that I've come a long way to Minnesota? Do you know that I've got a long way to go back home? How am I going to return home if you don't look for me and help the kind supporters make certain that I return to Georgia?

It's a long way. You can view my travel run that was planned for me. I only made it to Albert Lea. I was still so far from home!

< https://www.facebook.com/notes...8929582 >

Do you want to see a photo of me that the concerned people posted on a lost doggie page on Facebook the first day when I bolted out of the transporters car?

They were talking about me but they're not talking about me anymore. I don't know if they care anymore. I think they do. Maybe they're busy searching for me but they're not talking about me here anymore.

This my close-up. See how gentle I am? I'm relaxed when I'm on a comfy couch!!

What a crock! The "transporters" should be held liable, IF this was a real issue... however, these people are posting on hundreds of websites, getting all sorts of donations.. this is a SCAM! These people should be strung up and SHOT! Don't buy into this crap! Block their IP

$500 Reward for lost transport dog, Mojo. AKA: Houdini

I'm Mojo. Not a crock! Not a scam!

I'm a doggie LOST off of a voluntary transport.

My transporters feel badly that I bolted out when the car door was opened.

Everyone wants me to be found and returned.

If you get a sighting of me somewhere or hopefully find me then immediately call the contact number on my lost doggie flyer and let the kind people know. Even if you sight me! They need to know!

If you find me, there's a $500 reward for my Safe Return.

If you don't believe me that I'm lost then please contact and ask about me. The kind searchers and supporters can use your assistance in searching for me.

If you want to ask the police man about whether to go onto the property or not, they can advise you and verify I'm not a scam. Please don't walk onto his property because that will verify I'm not a scam because you'll get arrested because it's no trespassing warning signs posted now.

Please share me with everyone you know.

Are you going to be my HERO and my ANGEL? Please keep your eyes peeled for me today.

All my Facebook links are verifiable that they're only in my best interests to bring me home safe. The internet and social media sites are powerful when finding lost doggies like me.

How much money have you stole from honest people with this fake sob-story?

Posted by imrl_engr on Mar. 18 2013,4:40 pm

I can vouch that this is not a hoax. I have been out there looking, and I have seen him. He is not easy to catch as he is very scared of people.

Posted by White Pride on Mar. 18 2013,4:47 pm

Uh huh... sure

Your signature states "If you're being stupid, acting stupid, or just plain stupid, I will not hesitate to let u know!" I'm letting you know, you're being stupid. I have been a member of this forum for quite sometime, but almost never come in here. I do know many of the people involved in this search. As far as I know only one of the entity's involved was seeking donations for the search and I believe they even dropped that. I will continue searching for Mojo until he is caught and on his way to his home again.

White Pride -- The trpt grp is being held liable. I found this Albert site from my sister on a grp. Its on facebook and yahoo groups talking about this dog Mojo. they're trying to salvage their rep lot of internal squabbles and one main member of admninstration is probly going to be ousted by fearless leader they have. lots internal issues since the dog has bgone missing and that admn is taking the fall. it's talked about in many groups. they are in such a mode to control damage to rep they're bringing in a cpl of volunteers good at catching animals and plan for nest weekend at Myre-Big Island park. its been in the works to set up. they have a gr the secret to catching the dog is knowing here he is. they mapped out grid to getting volunteers to come on foot searching on public/state property is the park not hard to figure out they dont want ppl coming there its secret now in pm only covert. they might change the date cause too many ppl know they want to find the dog Mojo they want to salvage rep and shine. its on Simon page too.

I wouldn't trust the second driver for anything! She is a lying, stealing sort of person that has to get up in everyone's business! NOT A GOOD PERSON! If I was this organization, I would want to cover this up too.. I would be ashamed of having people in my organization that were so irresponsible to even let the opportunity arise to have an animal become loose, especially a highly traumatized, potentially highly aggressive and dangerous animal such as this one. Stupidity and negligence were the root cause of this event.

The tprt grp blames the resq. alledging the grp isnt associated with the resq and that is funny they r the tprt grp. they Kindred KHTC wanted more than $1,300 from _members_ to pay for the search professionals and motel Comfort Inn and wanted donations for airline miles from the members to come next weekend to Albert Lea. Why do the members need to cough up money?. how low! they need take out of their personal pocket the fearless leader shifting blame to the resq that is stupid the drivers made mistake its fearless leaderr's fault but the driver screwed up dog not leashed in car Mojo bit leash chewed it bad driver didn't know.

Posted by shanmar on Mar. 18 2013,8:48 pm

I told my sister to not donate any money to them. They r like a cult now and told her to get out of the grp b4 she ends up in drinking the kool-aid in Jonestown Guyana. Like Jim Jones and his followers. KHTC might go off the deep end soon because of Mojo's MIA on their watch. She's still a member. :frusty:

May this poor dog make it to his home. Prayers be with him.

Posted by ilovedogs on Mar. 19 2013,4:47 am

Thanks for letting me know about this forum, Anna. At least they're posting the truth here. I'm following on Facebook but you see new info on comments one day and gone the next. The Simons Says Rescue MOJO has hidden comments by the driver who lost Mojo and any ridicule against this transport organization is hidden. May the truth finally be told and not swept under the rug. The transport has been a fiasco and the volunteers are a fiasco. They won't allow some people to help rescue but beg for volunteers at the same time. The ones running this show need to throw in the towel and let a paid professional intervene to catch Mojo. How many days have passed? What are they thinking?

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Mar. 19 2013,9:40 am

Actually, ilovedogs, the truth isn't being posted here. There are so many things going on behind the scenes it isn't even funny. If you guys believe just what you see, you'll never know what's actually going on.
Simon Says Rescue Mojo is supposed to be a neutral page, they are not.

White Pride, you must still be upset because I wouldn't date you or you wouldn't be saying such things about me. Since you don't even really know me and all. I think all you're trying to do is start drama and chaos. Shouldn't you be trying to collect more disability or something?

Look, I don't know what crawled up your ass, but ever since I took over this account over 2 years ago, I can assure you I would NEVER date anyone as stupid as you! Collect disability? There is nothing wrong with me or my semi, so you had best get YOUR facts straight before making false accusations! Oh I heard all about how you do what you can to screw people over! I also have received a great deal of information about this dog scam! Folks, this woman seriously f'd up and is doing her best to try and cover it up! It's what she does..

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Mar. 19 2013,10:37 am

LOL Uh huh. Whatever you say. I swear you get more and more stupid as time goes on.
Maybe you need to get your facts straight before you start slinging lies and drama.
If you think you know me so damn well, come talk to my face. If you don't have the balls then STFU!!!!

Posted by ihatehicks666 on Mar. 19 2013,10:40 am

Wow...this is just like high school!!

At any rate...how about forget the drama and help find this poor dog? Who cares how/why/where/whatever happened? Maybe just be a decent person and help locate a dog that isn't equipped to handle cold weather. If you don't want to help, that's totally cool too...just move along and get on with your life.

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Mar. 19 2013,10:56 am

Sometimes you have to act like you're back in high school to deal with others who are in high school!!

I do agree ihatehicks666, let's just find the dog and move on.

Posted by hot84svo on Mar. 19 2013,4:39 pm

Mojo visiting my garbage over the weekend he escaped, he made a good size mess, I have not seen any signs of him since, i think he long gone from escape area.

I left the garage open thinking he would return, but no luck finding the $500 dog.

Posted by shanmar on Mar. 19 2013,7:58 pm

Trap Mojo this week? State park , Home Depot field, Travel Center? Bets are on the state park! Anyone betting?

Local residents available to help out in the trapping? Can u be in the state park this week? KHTC finally decides they need to catch Mojo. Better late than never after all this time?

first it was $1,500. Anyone no the total cost? They're going to try to trap this week at the state park areas if you see atypical activity, its them. Everyone elses trap crates get stolen and damaged by others.

Sherry T. Mastrogiacomo
I received word from Carolyn, today that Kirby has successfully secured trappers for the capture of Mojo. I have been given an itemized list and thanks to all you wonderful people we have the funds to hire them. Please pray for Mojo, Kirby and the trappers. Hopefully, this will be the week!.

Kirby Grosso
MOJO - DAY 14
Nothing to report.
No sightings.
No tracks.

It is now time to revisit a previous discussion about sending a KHTC team in to find this poor animal.
We need one or two more capable volunteers close enough to get there to work with the two pros that have offered to help.
We need sponsors to help with the costs of the search - which I will conservatively estimate at $1500.
Any pledges will be returned if not used, all offers shall be confidential.
We also are asking for airline miles donations, Comfort Inn contacts or discount coupons.
Please contact me via PM or at XXX-XXX-XXXX.
We do not wish to discuss this in public.
This will be a covert operation.

ADMINISTRATOR FROM KINDRED HEARTS GETS BOOTED OUT OF ANOTHER GROUP INABILITY TO CONDUCT A SEARCH TO HELP REPUTATION OF TRANSPORT THAT LOST MOJO

ALL EYES ON

Grosso: I am not one for putting my personal business on FB, but my job is FB related. So this message to to a select few. They know who they are.
Over the last 16 endlessly miserable days, I have been charged with conducting a search for an animal 1800 miles away - with no resources. I have worked this project 18/20 hours a day. I have lost 15 lbs. I have slept with my phone on my chest each night. I have suffered personal family issues, health issues, domestic problems, but they had to be put on hold as I sought to save the company"s reputation.
My "job" has been promised as lost. My 1000's of volunteer hours building a reputable product are thrown away. Some are disappointed in me, others clearly furious.
This was not my transport. I was the one with the nerves of steel and ability to take control of the search.
So, for all I have accomplished in the field of animal transport, I am only a throwaway.
Pity.
Really, a pity.

_REPUTATION REPAIR MODE?_

Which more imp to u? Mojo or ur damaged rep?

They r going to trap this week with 2 hired professionals. One will have a video camera so that if Mojo is rescued (trapped) the flash will b flashing and they'll b ready to be on reputation rebuild n everyone will be happy for Mojo (everyone will!!) and they'll think capturing him will boost their ratings. They'll have the tv news media on standby and will beg for a paper to write an article and show their success You think??? Maybe just the Public Relations lady Parker will handle the publicity of the success which is for their rep - not for Mojo!! If they weren't so stupid they'd done this first.
After losing the dog on their 1st trpt in January they lose him again! What did they not learn the 1st time? In God's name don't let Mojo be tranferred by them again.

Posted by shanmar on Mar. 19 2013,8:39 pm

TRAP MOJO!!!!! IF U DON'T & ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MOJO NOT RESCUED SAFE HIS BLOOD WILL B ON UR HANDS KINDRED SPIRITS HEARTS TNPT CONNECTION ALONG WITH THE INCAPABLE GROSSO WHO COULDNT CONDUCT A SEARCH WITHOUT FOCUS ON THE COPANIES REPUTATION AND WHO CARES IF IT WAS THE OTHER THAT WAS THE COORDINATOR WE'RE NOT HAPPY WITH HER NOR ANY OF YOU.

Pray tell what is going on with this search. Crates are damaged and more crates often requested to be borrowed. As of the latest comments there's hired professionals to trap. The Simon page on Facebook has been a piece of work being run by a cat rescue which joined Facebook only a few days ago. It is said that a Kristine only asked for the rescue and the transport group to make statements because it's literally a page for the transport group which her goal was to post the announcement by the transport group but making it appear to be balanced by also asking the rescue group. It's certain if the organization does safely rescue Mojo that the Simon Says page will slant in favor of the transport if you can detect the nuances.

Today is March 19th. Why wasn't this posted on this forum sooner? This isn't a large city but there's a population that may have had the heart to assist in a search. People could've loaned any traps if they had any and helped. Mojo went missing in Albert Lea on March 1st and why are many of us only now becoming aware of this endeavor to find a dog that has been missing for this amount of days? The inclement weather is not conducive to a dog's well-being when there's no adequate food or shelter. Do those people think that the residents of Albert Lea are inept and unable to assist? Discounting the locals ability?

Posted by shanmar on Mar. 19 2013,10:15 pm

ilovedogs it's competition about who gets the dog will get the glory and rebuild damaged rep. they r wrkng against each other not with each other bcause the tnpt grp blamed the resq but backfired on them except for their followers...Competition at its finest...All At Mojo's expense!!!!!!

Elisa Anne I was the driver. He was tethered to the inside of my truck. He was not tethered while I was driving. When we stopped to meet the next driver, I tethered him again. The other driver opened the door slowly to slip lead him but he jumped at the ground forcefully when he jumped, the tether snapped in two. He is strong as heck. It was a webbed tether. He must have been chewing on it when I went in to get gas. He did not chew anytime I was in the car with him because I kept looking in my rear view mirror at him. I walk dogs for a living and I run a rescue. No other dogs have ever gotten loose from me, EVER! He got loose on his way up to Minnesota also by a different driver. He should have been sent with a GPS collar on him. He had on a harness and half a tether and a collar. Accidents happen. But Debi If you are some kind of miracle person that never has accidents, more power to you. I walked all day for three days looking. Failed a class because I wanted to find him instead of turning on an important assignment, spent two hundred dollars on gas, another two hundred on supplies, got frostbite,y own dog got injured, and put up with endless drama. I wanted nothing more than to find him and cried my head off for a week. I still cry.

_you said it good_promote your company''s rep from going downhill. find Mojo so you can build ur rep back up? U don't say one thing about Mojo. Only u being a basket case from worry about the company''s rep is why you want and need him found and u r flying there on donations. Dig into ur and Magnastriocono deep pockets for ur $$$$

The weather at night is horrible for Mojo, can he survive it?. The poor dog is freezing. Why did they wait so long to hire a professional to search for this poor dog ? It is a very long time to have to wait in the frigid weather of Mn. ,why wait this long to send out professional help?

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this forum until somebody informed me that Mojo was being talked about in here. If you look at my history, I have been on here for several years, but I rarely posted anything and haven't been in here in over a year. There is a lot of misinformation out there on both sides. It has become a competition, but it didn't start that way. Initially everybody was working together. The rescue was suppose to be putting out flyers all over and contacting the media for assistance. By my understanding, they didn't get very far with the media, and based on what I've seen, they didn't do much with the flyers. What split the groups up was how people wanted to work with the property owner that Mojo was known to be on. The property owner had set up to meet with one person, but the rescue felt that they had to be there to meet with the property owner as well. They would not allow the person to meet with the property owner and ask for permission to bring the others in to help look. That person then dropped out so as not to bombard the property owner with a bunch of people. And then the name calling started so that person and a small group backed out. Initially, the rescue claims that the property owner was very friendly and helpful, but the phone calls he made to the others were quite the opposite. The rescue group kept pushing until eventually some of their searchers were arrested for trespassing. At that point several people contacted the other group and asked them to rejoin the search. This was basically KHTC. The rescue at that point posted on their facebook page "Help Find Mojo" DO NOT contact any locals in the area. It has been a big mess ever since.

Here is the truth as I know it.

I was to be the 2nd and 3rd leg of Mojo's trip back to GA. When we opened Elisa's (Driver 1) door, we heard the tether snap as Mojo jumped out of the back of the SUV. He jumped thru her arms and off he went. We kept sight of him until we lost him in the field in front of Home Depot. We then contacted the original rescue, Protecting Paws, then the transport, KHTC, then the adoptive (mom) in GA. Elisa and I were out all day looking for Mojo, calling in several friends and even the Humane Society to help. KHTC made me the contact person because I live here and I have experience with live trapping and also because of my experience at the Humane Society when I volunteered there.
We called the foster dad down from the cities and he didn't have any luck finding Mojo either.
Fast forward a couple of days, we found that Mojo was making his way between Trails and the State Park. So back to Trails everyone went. The rescue, Protecting Paws did not like how I was doing things, despite their knowledge and experience in even setting up a live trap. They wanted me and the people helping me find this dog, out of the search. We pulled our live traps, and things got extremely heated. An owner of the rescue threatened to kill me and even went so far as to punch the mirror on my truck, breaking it. This is where they say their traps were stolen. How can they be stolen when they weren't even their's?? I wasn't about to leave 3 traps in their possession worth $300 or more a piece.
Part of their rescue got arrested for trespassing on posted land behind Trails.
They even issued a statement they were done looking for the dog, he was a $5 dog anyway and they had spent close to $1,000 looking for him. This is where I came back into the search. I was not about to leave this dog out in the cold.
I have been working with some volunteers to search for and trap Mojo.
It's not that we don't want more volunteers, we want volunteers who know what they are doing. Obviously Mojo can't be chased and he can't be talked to. We need to win his trust and capture him safely.
If you look at the Help Find Mojo facebook page, it specifically states to not contact anyone in Albert Lea about Mojo.

Obviously there is more drama to this saga, but I think you all get the drift.
Having said that, if anyone seriously wants to come out and help search for Mojo, contact me. I am willing to work with you, go over the areas we need covered and what still needs to be covered.

Needs all tobe run thru the crap detector.

Who sent who to MN? Siblings? Now who might that be? Come on, think!

Robyn Jeppesen I have reached out to Eldad Hager as well, but have yet to hear back. Hoping I will soon. I have reached out to MANY pet detectives who are giving me tips, but they know it will be difficult to accomplish them without having access to property (the property lines is HUGE, many many acres). We are doing everything we possibly can that is law abiding. We have tried sweet talking the farmer many times. Unfortunately, the police have informed us we are NOT to contact the farmer anymore! The reason being . . . somebody from another group came to MN in the middle of the night and decided to contact one of the farm's owners (it's a group of siblings) at 3:00AM, to ask for permission to go onto property. This severely hindered us and created a lot of obstacles as the owner was not pleased with a 3AM phone call. I promise we are doing everything possible.

How many fliers were posted in twn? Ther's no reason the tnpt organization couldn't have posted Mojo on this forum to get the word out about him and to ask for help early on. One of the members had posted the link in the grp on March 10 and no one paid attn to it. An Albert Lea discussion forum and just blew it off??? Count the days gone by that help could've been received from here. It's not easy to get ppl to search for animals but an attempt could've been made here. What a waste of sources!

Why isn't the woman who owns the transport coming to look for MOJO herself? If she is coming, when is she getting there? Who are the people she has coming by air travel ( she is spending funds on) that the owner of the transport hired for trapping this dog? What is going on here? And why is this so secretive? The secrecy itself brings up a red flag.

Posted by Big1040 on Mar. 21 2013,1:25 am

It certainly seems as if KHTC is more worried about their reputation that failed at doing their job, then the well being and safety of the dog Mojo. This "covert operation," they speak of, does nothing to bring attention to the public or media as to help find Mojo. If the search and rescue of this dog doesn't succeed, then the disappointment will be at a minimum because the transport kept the rescue "low profile." If the dog is found, then that has been covered as well with all cameras blazing and zeroing in on the poor dog, like a super star, and of course Kirby Grosso being the heroic director with all her fans ready to rally her on!! Please give me a break, The egos are getting in the way of the search and rescue of this little dog. They need to let people know what is going on and let the public help find this dog. Mojo needs out of the freezing weather and starvation, before he dies. This "covert crap" is nothing more then a smoke screen to hide more then"rescue efforts".

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Mar. 21 2013,7:44 am

Why does it matter whether this forum was contacted or not? It seems like all you guys do is sit here and b&tch about everything. I offered to talk to people and work with anyone who was interested in volunteering to find Mojo and no one contacted me.
Shanmar, is that all you do is go on Facebook and copy things?

Honestly people, you either want to help or you don't. If you want to help, quit your bitching and do something. But don't sit here and complain you weren't asked to help because now that you have been, you're still not doing anything.

Kirby Grosso does NOT own the transport company. If you guys are going to copy and paste things, you should find out actual facts first.

The rescue responsible for Mojo to begin with isn't doing a damn thing to find him. They said they were done looking for him because he is a $5 dog and they've already spent $1000 trying to capture him.

My rescue is not responsible for this dog, but I have been out there every single day following tracks and trying to find the best possible way to trap this dog.

Now, as I said before, you're invited to help search for Mojo. If you don't want to help find him, fine, then quit complaining.

So the rescue has stepped out on the dog, because he is a mutt and means nothing to them, just more trouble and cash than he's worth to them... and the transport is trying to uphold it's reputation by doing, who knows what? Raising money and traveling by air, some where else and doing what? Who knows...The person running the show for this dog, may be on vacation as far as we know, with all their covertness going on. At the expense of Mojo?

Shanmar, you are to stupid to understand what is going on. Good God! Just sit behind your computer bitching and see how far that gets you.
It's not about media. IT"S ABOUT THE DOG WHICH YOU OBVIOUSLY DON"T CARE ABOUT!!!!

Again, this forum is pretty much worthless. That's why no one thought to post anything on here about the missing dog. I have yet to see any one of you offer to help or get off your ass and do anything even remotely close to helping.
I hope to God you never come into my rescue to adopt a dog. I will flat out deny your application.

This forum has been as much of a waste of time as the Facebook pages, if not more so. You all keep up your bitching and complaining. I'll keep doing whatever I can to catch this dog.

Well, if this page has been no help what so ever then the transporter that isn't telling anything about the search and rescue efforts of this dog is no better then we are, cause we don't know if her and her cronies are even really looking for the poor dog. I can't go hundreds of miles away to look for this dog, I do work. And as far as giving my opinion. the last I checked, it is still America , barely but still here... and I wouldn't give the transport group a dime , they have wasted enough money all ready not calling in professionals in the first place. They have or had trappers flying in... for crying out loud, where are they coming from Nigeria?

@imrl_engr

I now kno who you r and we're about the same age cept I'm probably a couple years younger but not wet behind the ears and far from stupid.

The transport org was given this forum link on Mar 10th. They discounted it. Everyone wanted to get word out about Mojo and this was one source. There might've been ppl that would've jumped into assisting if they'd seen a post here or if there were sightings of him they'd report even privately. How many people did it not reach by not having posted? Not everyone pays attn to flyers even if they see them. Notifications are supposed to go utility workers, rental car delivery drivers, sanitation wrkers, etc. so why not here?

Never call any source a waste of time!

This person said Mojo was around his garage. So there u have it. Maybe he could've posted that back when Mojo was there if a thread had been opened. How can u say something is a waste of time. Even if u don't get help here then maybe ppl will at least know about Mojo and know if they see him that it's him and report it.

Why would anyone want to help now since there's professional trappers coming in from wherever and whenever and your attitude about calling it a waste of time here doesn't set well either. Who would want to contact you now?

You already know his location so if anyone helped now would they also be allowed to be there when the trappers arrive? Doubtful they'd be invited. It's a covert op, remember?

Posted by imrl_engr on Mar. 22 2013,8:38 am

Big1040, I am one of the "cronies" looking for the dog. In fact my wife and I are the only local people actively trying to catch the dog. You can't go hundreds of miles to look for a dog, because you work. That is understandable. I also work, 10+ hours a day, but I do have the advantage of being in town. I will not complain about people giving their opinions and I apologize if it did sound that way. As for the covert op, that is being somewhat taken out of context. Keep in mind, that post was in a separate group that was just people for the transport. Also keep in mind that things have been hostile between the two groups looking for Mojo. The rescue claims traps have been stolen and or damaged. The stolen my wife explained earlier. The broken, all we know is that they said it happened. The so called covert op wasn't to keep from informing people, it was to keep the rescue group from finding out so they did not try to disrupt them from coming in or disrupt the transport search entirely. As it is, somebody did find out about it. They contacted the professional to dissuade them from helping the transport group and now because of it the professional won't come to help at all. Yes it is known who the person was that did that, but I don't know who it was.

Shanmar, first thing, are you sure you don't have the transport and the rescue confused. The rescue declared themselves the search team, and cut everybody out. It was the rescue from the very beginning that was supposed to be doing everything to get the word out. Putting flyers out, contacting the media, etc. As I mentioned earlier, the basically got no where with the media, and did very little putting out flyers from what I have seen. It was on March 4th that the rescue declared themselves the search team and cut people including the transport out, and that my wife and I dropped out of the search. It was on March 8th that searchers for the rescue got arrested for trespassing. March 9th the rescue posted in Facebook "Help Find Mojo" NOT to contact ANYBODY in Albert Lea. March 10th is when the rescue informed several people that they were done searching for Mojo. That they had invested too much time and over $1000 to find a $5 dog. But at the same time they have been posting regular messages on Facebook "Simon Says Rescue Mojo" that they have been having regular searches and sightings of Mojo. However, nobody has actually seen them in the area. Now, backtracking a little bit. Also on March 8th is when the transport decided they needed to get their own search group going, because of things going so poorly for the rescue. That is when the transport asked my wife and myself to rejoin the search. We agreed, but told them we would not in anyway be involved with the rescue group. You are correct, that this was a good and viable resource that could have helped with sightings etc., and I wish I had thought of it. The other thing, and you mention it, is that we already know where he is at. It's a matter of catching him. So far the traps haven't worked. I DID NOT say that it would've been a waste of time. I said that it HAS BEEN a waste of time. This post had been going for 4 days yesterday, and had only been squabbling. That is 4 days with no offer of help or anything, but bitching about how you should have done this or you should have done that. Now as I mentioned earlier the professional trappers got detoured off, so it is still up to my wife and I, and the small group of people that we are working with to catch Mojo. One last thing that I should mention. Even though the rescue seems to have quit trying, but claim that they are, the rumor spreading is that if our group catches Mojo and tries to transport him to his adoptive family, we will be charged with theft. I have not heard that directly from anybody, but that is the rumor spreading around.

Dog Hunters Must Respect Property

Published 8:56am Wednesday, March 20, 2013

I would like to offer my apologies to a local property owner. In searching for a lost dog in the area this person and his family were bombarded by people. My wife and I dropped out of the search due to the way others wanted to handle things concerning his property.

If the stories we heard are even half true, he was severely disrespected and his privacy invaded. Shortly after the events that transpired my wife and I were asked by others involved to rejoin the search. We have agreed, but we are doing so on our own and not jointly with the others involved. If any one has seen a 2-year-old black and white Lab/pitbull mix, could you please contact me at 507-383-6414. He has been missing since March 1, 2013. He was being transported to his adopted family when he escaped. We currently have no idea where this dog may be, so any sighting is very helpful, and I assure you that my wife and I will not go on somebody’s property without permission. Thank you.

Shanmar, that letter to the editor was published on March 20th. It was emailed in on March 15th. We found where he is again on March 17th. Traps were immediately set in place when we found where he is. Not ours to transport? As I mentioned, we are working with Kindred Heart, and they ARE the responsible party for transport. Just because we haven't seen them? Try again. Nobody has seen them. They supposedly had a cookout and seen Mojo during the cookout, but nobody including staff at the truck stop or hotel had seen them. Good luck on the lawsuit.

Posted by WindowShopper on Mar. 23 2013,1:20 am

I am so glad to see that some locals in MN haven't drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid and are aware of Kirby's scheming and that of others involved. Mojo has the right idea- if he hasn't been found or taken up residence with someone in the area- to stay far away from the people involved in this financially motivated drama. There is no good that will come of anyone who had anything to do with his transport getting ahold of him again.

If that was even Mojo that was spotted a week or so ago, I read on Facebook where it said they were throwing food (and no telling what else) at him. Of course, the dog would not just walk on up to someone throwing things at him. Mojo would not be safe back with anyone involved in any of his prior transports.

Posted by imrl_engr on Mar. 23 2013,8:48 am

Shanmar, yes we do know where he is. The other group that came to Minnesota in the middle of the night was a group that the rescue called in a favor from. At the time that happened, it was only the rescue that was trying to catch him. My wife and I had already dropped out because of the way the rescue wanted to deal with the property owner to start with, plus my wife was out of town from Tuesday until late Friday afternoon. That was no secret either. She had let people know from the time Mojo got away that she would be gone during that time. The transport was not involved at that time either because the rescue had said they were in control, it was all them. I'm not secretive at all Big104. Just busy. As I mentioned earlier, I work 10+ hours a night. Plus the time I spend trying to catch Mojo. Windowshopper, it is the rescue that claims they had a cookout and seen him and were throwing food at him. I personally do not believe it because that was on Sunday March 17th at about the same time that we found him again, and he's not at the truck stop. Plus nobody in the area saw them having a cookout, not even the truck stop employees, or the hotel employees. That is what bothers me. The misinformation. If we hadn't spotted him, we would've headed back over that way based on the information that he had been spotted over there. I don't care about the reputation of the transport or the rescue. That is up to them to deal with. All I care about is catching Mojo and getting him to his adopted mom in Georgia.

There's a lot of good reading within this forum taking time to read from start to finish. This is a valuable forum to discuss the issues arising from Mojo's missing as there's info here not allowed on others and free to discuss here. The Simon page is a joke and she's alienated more than a handful of people creating animosity toward her page and the Kindred Hearts of whom she basically is protecting. Another person had already said on HFM that it was KHTC's page but we all knew she was a member of KHTC and has involved herself in transports. We'd researched early on and knew some know her personally and have interracted with her during transports and not pleased with her nor with the other woman Kirby Grosso who attempted to conduct a search rescue but she was a total failure which created a division between her and others. I'll be responding to some other posts that you can shed some light on.

No need to quote all the posts referring to why this wasn't posted on this forum from the start but I'd have to agree that it would've been most beneficial as this person has chimed in. imrl_engr Why do you say this has been a waste of time when even one post such as this is vital and if this thread had been opened earlier then this person could've been privately contacted when Mojo was seen? I'm going to have to differ with you regarding your opinion. It was also revealed that the link to this forum was posted on KHTC's closed group forum and that it was not publicly discussed about asking for help here. It's been, let's say, rumored, that KHTC didn't want to go beyond using Facebook and flyers although begging to share Mojo's flyer in every place under the sun but they put the thought of using this forum aside when they fully knew it existed. They knew. This is a first time search and rescue for you in a situation such as this one with Mojo and I know you're in a learning stage so for future reference remember that is only one person responds that it might be the one response needed to help. There's no valid exuse why the transport group didn't use this when they fully knew. I'm in strong disagreement on it being a waste of time. At this juncture you have to be content that more of the public is aware and because you've not been contacted is nothing to be disgusted over. People are coming into this at a later time and knowledge that there's contention is most evident restricting some to be willing to work with any of you and would do their own searching. As you spend more time in rescue, imrl_engr, both wife and husband, you're going to learn much more as this is a first time episode for you and you're still green but everyone learns as time passes with more experiences. Don't let it frustrate you!

It pisses me off that the rescue refers to Mojo as a "5.00" Dog, oh for so many reasons!!! So concerned with money again and the transport group worried about reputation and egos.It's true what some are saying, Poor dog may be better off running. Mojo

must have known how they really felt about him!

:hairpull:

What is the back and forth on this tethering? This makes no absolute sense at all. From the comment he wasn't tethered at all.

Driver #2 which is Melissa Bennett Carol opened the door to a car and then was going to slip lead Mojo?

Melissa Bennett Carol Please explain this. In no terms do you open a door too a dog that is a flight risk in this manner especially two people involved could've prohibited this if you'd only had one inside the car holding the leash at the same time you opened the car to grab the leash. You should've known that.

Why wasn't he caged on this transport? The coordinator should've known better.

You and Elsa in rescue have no idea that was a mistake. It's baffling to know that Elsa had to look in her mirror constantly while driving which was unnecessary if he'd been tethered. It's baffling when you say that he must've chewed through the tether when you stopped to gas up which gives the impression that he stops chewing when you return to the car?

Everyone that transports or is in AR dealing with physically moving dogs on a transport that the leash is to be INSPECTED before you open any door as it's known that a dog will often chew. That's the first thing you check. Other accessories would've been a plus to have on him like a GPS that you mentioned but anyone that opens a car door in this manner would still lose a high risk dog regardless of what he was wearing. The battery of a GPS is has a short life and those are expensive for any rescue or transport to purchase unless the receiving end wishes to purchase and requires it.

I have already made a comment regarding your attitude toward the forum. You can't say that's the reason that no one thought to post anything on here. There was no thread opened for him in the beginning and apparently someone with half a brain did open a thread. There's still no exuse whatsoever as to why an announcement hadn't been posted here. It was purposely avoided Melissa. There's some things that you don't know everything about.

I can vouch that this is not a hoax. I have been out there looking, and I have seen him. He is not easy to catch as he is very scared of people.

Parts of your response are not clear but this is all in all quite simple too understand. There's always going to be a difference in opinions and control is a major factor. Do you realize as well that KHTC won't work with some rescues and let others assist in coorindinating? The reason behind that is because once you have more coordinators which are women you're going to lose control as you become larger. They know there'll be disagreements and to keep the number of coordinators too a smaller limit then they have the control they want. You don't see KHTC blasting out that they need coordinators but they blast it out that they want more drivers. (Give your license number and couple of details and you're on the run sheet and add to the number of their member group.)

The ultimate state of control is a decisive factor. Nothing but a pissing contest in the end even if between one or two people and have four women in one room that aren't friends too begin with and see what type of decision is made. You'll never reach one and everything is left hanging. shanmar said too many hens. I'll say too many cooks in the kitchen.

Clearly it's the owner of Mojo that should make the decision. That's the bottom line.

The coordination of this transport was a failure. It's required to have two leads on them at transfer and you don't open a car door to a high risk dog, having been lost before to first slip lead him. Accidents do happen but the coordination and the requirements were not sufficient. Maybe the man who lost him the first time in Georgia would explain to us more about how Mojo behaves on transport.

"and off he went."

Mojo jumps out of the SUV. There's two people involved there. If it's an SUV why did one of you not sit in the backseat or wherever and first do an inspection? Why was that step in the process not adhered to? You both say you have involvement with your rescue. You may have expertise in that area of adoptions but I'm sorry to say you obviously have none in transport. You were contacted by KHTC's Cheryl Miles to do a leg on the transport. Denise Flinchbaugh was the back-up coordinator.

Did they give you INSTRUCTIONS to slip lead him AFTER you opened the car door? You can explain this since you were the one that opened the door accordingly to instruction? This is a strange sad event.

It's very difficult for people to constantly search for a pet. Even their own pet. People beg and plead daily for help. Respect is given to those that give of their time to search.

Your wife was the one that negligently opened the car door so everyone does expect her to search and although you have your daily responsibilities as others do, there's not a lot of sympathy allotted to your wife nor any lack of time on her part.

It's hostile. It's beyond hostile. What's new? One claims this. One claims that. When you provide a police report and the end result then all these claims might be more believable. You're an angry man right now. You're defensive because of your wife losing Mojo. Your wife mentioned in a comment to Kirby Grosso that since Kirby has been ousted from another group, because she botched the rescue effort, that she could be her admn for her The Rescue Connection rescue. When we've become best buds then we tend to bash the other side do we not?

Express it much clearer please. The professional was contacted and now won't come to help find Mojo. You know a lot about this. Isn't this the same as when someone tells something in secret to another person in the manner they'll tell them the entire scenario of what they heard but at the end when they're asked who it was that said it or did it they suddenly don't know or usually can't remember? Have you ever noticed that when someone told you something? You say you don't know who said it? Are you trying to fool us or yourself or both?

It would be easy to know that they had to make a statement about not contacting people there due to so much havoc. It's very likely that statement should've been written more extensively so the meaning would be understood. You'll need to strike that and ignore it. The full reasoning isn't there for you to make something out of what you clearly don't have a clear understanding of because of the way it was poorly written.

From what you've seen. From what you've not seen. You're not there 24 hours daily. The rescue is from almost two hours away. To imagine them continuing to be there daily would be almost impossible. I'm not saying that they shouldn't but it's clear that it's difficult.

You say to backtrack a little bit. The only backtracking you need to do is to backtrack in your memory and remember it was YOUR WIFE that lost Mojo. This is already known. It's your wife that opened the door letting Mojo out. Not the rescue. Your wife is the first responsible for his safe capture.

We don't really care about when you decided to join whichever search possee.

When I'm in the office working I pay attention to what I'm doing. I worry about myself and my work and not about my coworkers. If you're that concerned with rescuing Mojo then you should concern yourself with that and not spend 100% of your type-written characters bashing the others.

You wish you had thought of using this forum? You have been able to think of every bashing comment you can conjure up toward the bashing of the rescue but you overlooked the forum? You wrote a letter to the newspaper. Think harder next time. KHTC had in front of their nose and brushed it aside. Everyone missed the boat on that one? I don't think so.

Rumors about transporting Mojo. You're right. It's nothing but a rumor since you didn't directly hear it from anyone. Who do you expect to hear it directly from? It could've been your own neighbor who made it up. You are really caught up in your rumor mill, aren't you, Cory? Grow up and quit sounding like a young girl in middle school that came home late one night with no exuse but blames it on everyone else to get out of a jam.

As humorous an mayonaise running down her leg and exuse she was somewhere making sandwiches! Or your pissing on someone and trying to convince them it's raining! Try convincing yourself of all those allegations (rumors) you're throwing to us.

You're working with Kindred Heart Transport Connection group? Isn't that already obvious? Your wife wants one Kirby Grosso to be her admn. Maybe her coordinator by now. Don't you think if your wife loses another dog that Kirby will botch the search? Open your eyes. The owner of Mojo determines who transports so does sound like you are in hopes of going ahead and doing so.

Is this your modus operandi for searching for Mojo? Is it for Mojo or for yourself and KHTC?

Your blind. Really blind. You expected the cookout to be right there at the door of the truck stop or motel? You've missed the boat again. They probably will next time need to be right up in front of your nose. It was said before. Cory you need to watch your own work and not that of your coworkers. You're digging yourself a grave with your manner of telling these things like you are. Reality check, Cory.

You're one-sided defensiveness is old. :deadhorse:

Where's your wife Melissa? We're awaiting her presence to respond to other posts here regarding her opening the car door. She's a big girl, Cory. She can speak for herself, can't she? Or she is so weak that she mistakenly allows you to speak for her thinking that you have the right words to say? She's only telling you what to say because she talks her own bull but she can't handle it when it gets thrown back at her.

What are Kirby and his crew going to do this time, make Mojo go all the way from MN to GA, without a bathroom break?! Then, when he makes a run for it in GA when they meet up with Janice, he will blame it on her for wanting Mojo back.

When the crap starts getting deep, it's kind of funny that Mojo magically appears. I wonder if this is the *real* Mojo or a look-a-like.

WOW what a bunch of BS! Away for a couple days and it's just a crap-slinging fest on here!

What absolutely kills me is that during the 3 weeks this dog has been "missing," NOT ONCE DID ANYONE POST AN UPDATE OR TIMELINE!

When and where were the "sightings"
When and where were "traps" set up?
Did the dog seem to favor any certain location?

Cory and Melissa both bitched about not getting offers to help search and capture, YET neither of them offered any information on WHERE to look! Why is that? Maybe a logical timeline and transparency to the ordeal would have help tremendously! Ya think? Maybe? Perhaps?

Everyone involved should be hanging their head real low, because all this was completely preventable! Just takes LOGIC and COMMON SENSE.

Oh, BTW, I did contact a couple people back home, and they did go out and search a couple times... if only they knew the best place to look, perhaps that dog wouldn't have had to suffer for so long!

Posted by shanmar on Mar. 23 2013,10:00 pm

Cat woman Simon says she's neutral not involved but she's been as sucked up in this. They knew what was going on.

I think it was mentioned in an earlier comment to Melissa and Cory that what were they going to do, take the searchers on a wild goose chase so they'd not know.

I've heard that people did contact to volunteer and they told them that there was a group that had it under control and thanked them for offering.

They're saying it had to be confidential and official statement will be released soon.

Due to the nature of the capture, and those involved, some information had to be kept confidential. An official statement will be released as it is available. The most Important thing is that he is no longer lost in the snow or the cold and back in loving arms!

Edit History
Hired professionals, overnight campers on watch, rescue volunteers, humans that have former connections with Mojo.. yes.. many many tings have been tried. BUT rest assured, though some have given up, gone home.. the efforts are still there and are even growing in numbers. Mojo hasn't been forgotten, New ideas come in and are tried. Mojo will be captured, returned to rescue and be safe. The love for this dog and the people trying to save him is incredible. Many Strangers are quietly doing things to help, keep him in your prayers, keep sharing his furry face around the web and in the area if you are able.. someone will get this baby... we just cannot give up! Move forward with love and kindness to all, and with one goal - get him home!

Didn't you realize that there were a couple of main points in your posts that was giving it away that you were _self-confident_ which definitely showed something was going on. Remember the statement made that you were bashing the rescue etc. to _set the scene_ for when he was caught? Remember that?
LMAO, it was noticed early on by a few of us.

Notice how I was getting closer to you in my comments about informing us how the search was going and asked for photo of the trap?

Carolyn Parker
Remember the olden days when we gathered our members to rally in anticipation of a run release when there was a dog in need of transport?...A real tear-jerker? Well, kids…we have that very story for you tonight. A story of a dog who needed to get to his mom after spending an eternity in the cold wintery snow, starving, dehydrated, and feeling hopeless. I know many of you, similar to past run announcements, would like to be in on this transport, however, due to the sensitivity of the high profile star involved, we couldn't randomly post the need for transport. I’m sure you’ll all understand and forgive us for not allowing you the chance to bundle this little beauty in your car…because…wait for it…wait for it….this little rock star is none other than the elusive MOJO!! In an effort to avoid drama, the decision was made to deliver this little guy to his mom before advising of his whereabouts. Janice has patiently waited 22 days to have Mojo by her side, and we’re pleased to announce that Kindred Hearts has made that happen. We couldn't have done this without countless volunteered hours, donations, and the general support of our most valued members. March 1st, 2013 may have gone down in history as the day that KHTC lost their first dog, but March 23rd, 2013 goes down in history as the day KHTC delivers on our promise: We go miles for doggy smiles! Tonight, we offer you the smile of one scared little 2 yr old lab/pit mix and his foster failure mom Janice! We would like to thank everyone for each little thought, prayer, and word of support; the donations and outpouring of kindness reminds us that we are in fact kindred hearts, drawn together by our love for bringing needy animals home. Tonight, because of you, Mojo is heading home. Much Love & Special Thanks to our own Kirby Grosso for her undying support and conviction to making this happen!

He talked way too much in the manner of slandering and I agree about the self-confidence that stood out from his writing and saying good luck on the lawyer. Something is very fishy here.
KHTC was keeping this a secret from the adopter in Georgia that Mojo had been captured several days ago? This was intention to keep it as a surprise to transport and deliver him to her but Cory has made his own announcement beforehand without their permission? This story gets better as each day passes.

Her blunder caused much delay and leaving him out in the freezing cold. Come high water she was going to rescue Mojo to save the reputation. She worried more about that than him.

So many animals have been saved by her and her actions that she dont post about publicly. Kirby has dedicated her time health and money into saving Mojo... if everyone else had her passion Mojo would have been found long ago... and if the stupid woman would have followed protocol in the first place we wouldnt be here talking about it in the first place.

Do you recall telling my friend in Ohio, stupidly so, that she shouldn't own pit bull. Zip? Recall that convo? You made a total and complete butt out of yourself!

You did the right thing by bowing out of that convo! ~ Just Saying

Do you recall the faked-up donation expense listing you made for the transport of those dogs who never came on a van and the rest of the pumped-up costs. You would've received more donations but many doubted you and you were found out that you lied about the expense the second you lied about the van that didn't ever exist. You put the transporter in a bind by lying like you did. She was driving when you posted it unawares. We read all about it between the two of you in convo on FB, Christie. Did you think we all were your friend? Contact your transporter and can have a Come To Jesus Meeting here and put it out and justify this expense listing. ~ Just Saying

My typing skills??? really??? thats what we are going on about... and bout hell I dont even remember her name being an idiot with an aggressive dog and being called out... btw I didnt back out of that convo I still think she is an idiot and dont need to own a pit bull if she cant protect them... she blocked me...

lmao are you serious... I had to play nice and kiss butt to get the poor dogs out of that slum hole and the costs where estimated and the van is what I was told we where getting by the POS transporter who has a fixation with my husband and my elbows... yeah I know weird!!!

Apparently you don't remember the convo. You don't remember how stupid you sounded with what you said that was so off-base to her. You appeared to everyone to be out in left field. She should've blocked you sooner before you made a total butt out of yourself. Think twice before you speak. My friend has far more experience than you could ever think of with your age-old online certification of which you can no longer handle large dogs because of your physical inability you've had to rescue small ones which is physically easier for you to deal with. How is you back doing? Ouches occasionally?

Get your transporter here and let her talk about the van that never existed. You don't remember that either? She had already explained before that you lied about a van about you were told there'd be no van. How can you cover it up now? That's not all either. Remember? Tell us all about the pumped-up expense listing Christie! Let's think back as to how much you scammed out of her and to call her a POS? You should be embarrassed and ashamed. I'd like to hear her tell it again. Wouldn't you?

Posted by Mojosbiggestfan on Mar. 26 2013,7:36 am

There are several things I want to point out here. .

1st- KHTC WAS NOT the transport that lost Mojo initially in GA. He was with another transport at that time and went to MN with them...KHTC didn't come into it until it was time for him to return home to Janice.

2nd-ownership from the Rescue was relinquished when Mojo was put in transport to his new owner

3rd-Accusations of theft, when he was sent to the destination that was originally intended when he escaped, is like accusing the postal service of stealing a lost package because it was sent to it's destination when it was found.

4th-This is a conversation in a public area/thread, and rules of Libel do apply

And honestly I'm appalled at the behavior of the people that state that they in this for the animals and all they can think about is themselves. It doesn't matter if it's your rep, the company rep or some action to save face. Those and all the bashing of any party involved is for selfish reasons. I'm sure that I'm going to get backlash on this but I really just couldn't stand the immaturity from the grown adults in this forum.

Posted by Melissa'sBiggestFan on Mar. 26 2013,10:57 am

I also would like to point out . . . the rescue did NOT call in a favor from that "professional". That was all Kirby & her crew. The "professional" drove 5 hours and arrive in MN at 3am. We had one of our volunteers on site to meet him. Come to find out, upon his arrival, he was lied to by Kirby & her crew. He was told that he WAS allowed to go onto farmer's property; which was very incorrect. They also told him that the rescue was afraid of Pit Bulls! Which is hilarious to me because half the dogs in our rescue are Pit Bulls. Once our volunteer informed the "professional" of this, he called the owner of farm at 3AM to try and gain access to the property!! This severely hindered the rescue's efforts with working with the farmer.

Correction: It has come to attention that Kindred Hearts Transport Connection was not the volunteer transport that transported Mojo in January when he was lost leaving Georgia to Minnesota. He was lost twice on transport but not to indicate he was lost twice on a KHTC scheduled transport.

UPDATE: Happiness is that Mojo has been found safe and has been transported to his home in Georgia. It is filtering in that the transport was secret and parties were not involved in the knowledge of him having been rescued. There are many who, what, where and when issues that may still yet have differences in reference to this secret rescue and transport.

The intent of this thread was to gather more assistance to find Mojo during the search period and not to point fingers at anyone although this is a discussion forum and any comments, ideas and honest opinions are welcome to share information. The pm option can be utilized to contact any member if you elect to not comment publicly.

I would hope CORY knows what's going on, he's married to me!!!
So tell me who starts a new job and doesn't have questions??
When I started volunteering at the Humane Society, I had lots of questions.
We had some dogs in that I felt should've been put up for adoption instead of being shipped off to another rescue. The girl (And I use that word very loosely) that was trying to get them to a different rescue, (which she is), had them posted on FB. I asked her politely in PM why she was trying to ship them out instead of adopting them out. (I have this entire conversation saved in FB). She got very snippy with me and thought I was questioning her job and telling her what to do. She has had it out for me ever since. I have several conversations of things she has said and things she has done saved to my computer. I am in the process of finding an attorney to sue her for all the crap she has done

Is that enough for all of you??

If not, let me know

Oh, and I am approved thru a few different shelters to pull dogs from them. AND all of these dogs are completely vetted BEFORE they get to me, so how can I adopt out UNVETTED dogs?? Shows how much she knows.
Oh, and The Simon Says Rescue Mojo page was taken down right after we caught Mojo. Kristine was not a neutral third party at all. She wouldn't even post an official statement from Cory about us finding Mojo. I have some very unfavorable messages from her as well. ;) Like I said, not all is what it seems.

Posted by crapcollectorcop on Apr. 04 2013,8:35 pm

She is lying about the smashing of the phones and all that?
Simon Says Rescue is the lady Kristine Reed that has something of a cat TNR in florida the one that started the Simon Says Rescue MOJO page. She had said an announcement was coming from the trasport group Kindred Hearts Trasnport Connection. There was no new announcement come from them only from the lady in Georgia named Janice who gave the announcement about Mojo being found. Simon Says Rescue MOJO said they'd leave the page up without new comments allowed. No no no she is not what people thought she was and was transparent to many during the time she began to delete everyone's comments. She rapidly removed the page after she said that.
Why did she not allow Corey's story and only Janice's story but no announcement from KHTC and why was she so unfavorable to you as you were involved in the rescue or did she not want any glory going to anyone but Kirby and Janice? She is slick. Least she thinks she is but she is not. Not everyone is that dumb to buy into her crap she posted about neutrality.

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,6:47 am

I never smashed anything.
Simon Says page was put up for Protecting Paws Rescue. So when Mojo was caught, not by their rescue, she stopped putting up statements except for Janice's. She said there was to much drama going on. Take it for what it's worth.

As far as we are concerned, it's all over and done. Our main focus now is our rescue and the dogs we are bringing in. We need foster homes for all of our dogs and we need adoptive homes.

It's about the animals and any drama that is created takes away from them. If you're interested in fostering or adopting any of our dogs, let me know

We will set you up.

The correct spelling is Boshintang or Bosintang.

Shanmar, yes we do know where he is. The other group that came to Minnesota in the middle of the night was a group that the rescue called in a favor from.

Umm, Corey, explain this again. The rescue called someone in the middle of the night you say? Are you sure it was the rescue Corey? I think we know who the admn is that gave the farmer's phone number out to the individual that was sent there. The individual said the rescue was afraid of pit bulls. Who in the world told him to say that? When everyone knows that rescue has adopted out pit bulls.

Corey why do you want to lie right here? Admit it was that admn and that's the reason she got booted out of that group at that time for causing that rescue attempt to be a major disaster.

WHO TRANSPORTED MOJO OUT OF MINNESOTA?

If the kids weren't makin so much noise I could concentrate better and fetch some dates but remember that it was day 14 that Kirby used the wording of _ covert _ . Corey says hear that he was caught on Thursday being that the 21st and need to serach for where I thinking he said Mojo was there with them 4 days. Mabe so maybe not he said.

Simon didn't get all she wanted for her breaking news announcemnts so guess she had to go with using Janice the adopter in Ga who said on Simons page that Kirby had driven over 24 hours!!!!!!

Simon Says page made their own comment with _emphasis_ on that there were only 1 transport and 1 transporter.

Something doesn't smell right with that. We know where Kirbhy was at 18 hours so tired.

Need to do some mileage distance and time calcs and that opens ur eyes that something isn't right somewhere.

First of all, his name is CORY not corEy.
2nd of all, as far as we are concerned, it's done and over. You guys apparently can't follow along enough to get the true story. So, on that note, all I will tell you is, BUY THE BOOK WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!

We can follow along to get the tru story if you'd ansswer the question here on whether you told anyone that you drove Mojo to Kentucky? Do you recall all that you told or they r lying? Somewhere someone is lying. Simon says 1 transporter and 1 transport. Umm Simon wanted that statement to be read loud and clear and we read it and calc'd the mileage in different ways and the hours and the statuses and something just aint' a ringing right.

YES OR NO MELISSA. DID YOU MEET KIRBY IN KENTUCKY?

Posted by crapcollectorcop on Apr. 05 2013,8:34 pm

I have an appt but leave you with something to ponder over and that's the secrecy of the KHTC not wanting the rescue to know that they were transporting Mojo out after he was secretly caught and kept them from knowing because it was understood that Janice the adoptive mom requsted Mojo return to the foster dad in MN so he could recuperate and then return to Janice in GA. KHTC and Kirby Gross et al knew this and they didn't want anyone to know they had Mojo so that the rescue had no part in it anymore. They didn't want the adoptive mother to know they had him and as of today that still remains to be known if she knew that they found him or it was a surprise when Cory announced it. They wanted Mojo to go straight to GA and not to the foster dad first. That's you secret right there. KHTC lied to everyone stating the nature of his rescue and whatever else the PR person said but the truth is that they stooped to a new low and didn't follow through with what was originally planned for Mojo. Now you have the rest of the story...almost!

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,8:38 pm

Completely wrong, crapcollectorcop.
The rescue aka Protecting Paws were not going to return the dog to Janice AT ALL. It was kept secret from everyone until Mojo got to Kentucky because the rescue wanted to charge us with theft of the dog.
The dog actually belonged to JANICE from the point she said she wanted him back and adopted him. Even while I was in KY I spoke to an officer who had talked with a certain person from the rescue who wanted Cory and I charged for stealing Mojo. She had no right to press charges considering it was no longer the rescue's dog and that's what they were told.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,8:39 pm

Melissa in my opinion they used u like a pawn. Surely Simon tried to stand tall.

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,8:42 pm

At this point, I don't care what happened. I was accused of crap I didn't do and would never do.
Honestly, I don't care who likes me and who doesn't. I don't have a reason to lie to anyone about anything and this entire Mojo saga is OVER. He's back with Janice and that's what matters.
If we could've kept him, we would've. He's a great dog.
So I guess if I'm a bad person over all that has happened, so be it.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,8:43 pm

Melissa I'll be nice. I'm sorry. Now that ur talking it's more better. U did drive Mojo to Kentucky and Simon didn't want u guys to say that did she? She lied to everyone saying that their was only 1 transporter and 1 transport. Right?

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,8:45 pm

I don't know what Kristine said or posted about Mojo's trip back to KY. I got into it with her long before Mojo was caught and she took me off the page.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,8:49 pm

She said in comment that there was only 1 transporter and 1 transport and don't think she metnioned anything about Cory. She said Kirby Grosso was the person that transported Mojo. No one from that camp has sayd that you devoted ur time but its out that u did meet Kirby in Kentucky. It seems that ur the only 1 that will even speak more honest about it . So you did meet Kirbyh in Kentucky? Rite? It's all good but i still think they used u during this time. That's nice u say you'd have kept Mojo.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,8:53 pm

I no you got credit for ur efforts in searching but why no credit from them for driving Mojo to Kentucky to meet Kirby and their making it sound to everyone that it was _only Kirby_ that drove Mojo? Please let us know what part u played in that transport and if you deserved credit for it and why they're hogging all the glory?

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,8:54 pm

I was going to drive to TN to meet Kirby but I could not drive straight thru like she could. I had my 8 yr old with me and my parents went along so I wasn't driving alone. Cory did not go. He had to work and he had his older girls that weekend. Because of when we got on the road we ended up meeting in KY instead.
I don't believe I was used but if I were, I'd do it again! I love to travel, it's some place I had never been before and I got to spend time with part of my family and Mojo.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,9:05 pm

Thank u for being honest. :clap:

It was transparent through Simon Says Rescue (cat rescue in FL that was hosting a page Simon Says Rescue MOJO now deactivated on FB as we noticed) and it was obvious in that comment. It was poorlie written bcuz she tried to make too much emphasis on it and it stood out that something was wrong. We knew Simon Says Kristine Reed was lying in that comment and theirs been other comments that haven't been ringing with a true tone.

Thats nice that you visited with u family and u enjoyed Mojo being on his way.

Why or why or why did they lie n exclude u and all of the followers, and the PR person Carolyn Parker did this big cheerleading event status for Kirby?

Why they lie and say only Kirby Grosso was the one that transported? u have told the public the truth and Kirby Grosso KHTC and Simon is one big LIARS

Why the lies by KHTC?

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,9:11 pm

Like I said, I don't have a reason to lie about anything. It doesn't get you anywhere.
I guess I really can't speak for why KHTC said anything they said. I knew I was focused on getting Mojo caught and back to Janice safely. It's very unfortunate there was so much drama going on in this whole thing. If there hadn't been so much, we could've maybe caught him sooner.
I can only assume part of the reason KHTC didn't say anything about me taking him down there was because they didn't want me to get in any trouble by the other rescue. Which, they tried and it didn't work. Other than that, I really don't know the answer to that question.

Posted by shanmar on Apr. 05 2013,9:21 pm

It makes me ask u if they asked u to not say anything about u driving him their. Cory didn't say anything in his Tribune article that u drove Mojo. r u going to rite a book?? I'll buy one if u disclose everyting!! Tell us how KIrby and Carolyn Parker lied by only saying Kirby drove Mojo. WTF?

?

Kirby had a lot of ppl angry and down rite mad at her for her rescue mess up with the farmer. The KHTC rep was tarnished over this. They had a lot to polish up on. We think too that since u were involved with the first transprt that they didn't want any backlash from anyone if they knew that u had driven him again as their were boocoos that said you transporters shouldn't be involved again. It appears that they wanted the spotlight only on them and especially Kirby to make her look likke a hero and that she brought everyting back around to a full circle. this selling of t shirts is insane that their doing now! What they need 2 do is get their Mojo on and QUIT LYING ABOUT HOW KIRBY WAS THE ONLY TRANSPORT LMAO!!!!!

KIRBY GROSSO AND SIMON SAYS KRISTINE U GUYS R A MOTLEY CREW OF LIARS

But when he was found,

GET UR MOJO ON, KHTC, AND CUT THE LYING CRAP!! U LIED THAT KIRBY GROSSO WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT TRANSPORTED MOJO. MONEY MAKING MUCH OFF OF HIM NOW? GET UR MOJO ON AND QUIT THE CRAP! :rofl:

Posted by An Engrs Wife2 on Apr. 05 2013,9:33 pm

KHTC had nothing to do with the farmer being upset. I think people misunderstood that part of things. I was supposed to meet the guy and 2 girls from the rescue didn't want me to meet him alone. They threw such a fit, Cory and I backed out of the whole entire thing. We pulled our live traps because I wasn't going to leave those traps in the possession of people I didn't know. They are expensive traps!! Cory looked on his own for Mojo while I was in WI with my daughter for Spring Break. One of the girls from the other rescue called the property owner at 3 AM, cops were called, etc. The next day, people were arrested for trespassing on his property, etc. That was the day I came back from WI.
So, KHTC had nothing to do with ticking the farmer off. That was all the other rescue's doing.

I like the shirts

I have the original picture they used for those.

I will agree Kristine is a liar, but I don't agree with Kirby being a liar. I think there are different points of view to everything. It's in perception and points of view. I think part of it is you don't know what you would've done in that same situation.

Cory and I joke about writing a book. There was so much that happened in those 3 weeks, so many sleepless nights, so much planning. We think we could make it in a novel and possibly a movie lol

I don't have time for that. I have lots of dogs coming to MN that depend on me for homes. This has definitely been a experience our family won't soon forget.

A month of Sundays to catch up on everything commented in this thread!

21 Mar 2013 which was a Thursday. That's the correct date? Wasn't it commented upon somewhere in this forum that you had Mojo for "four days?" This quoted response was given after you were asked to show proof of any cages proving your present search at that time and
"within forty five minutes" you posted the announcement of Mojo being captured.

My inquiry to you is WHY did you announce Mojo's capture "before any others announced", etc. while the actual transporter(s) and Carolyn Parker, (now knowing there was more than one, Melissa was leg #1 on return), were "supposedly keeping this a secret" from the rescue group, the adoptive mother Janice in GA, and all the public that were following this.

Was Janice actually aware ahead of time that Mojo was caught and on his way to her and he was keeping quiet about it or was your announcement a total and complete surprise to her as KHTC hadn't told her before you did?

Cory or Melissa please give us some input to this. It's appreciated that you've been forthcoming in relation to this search and transport. The public who has spent hours devoutly following it on Facebook and deserves to know and not be cut off only because he was captured and handed over to his adoptive mother.

Posted by crapcollectorcop on Apr. 08 2013,7:37 pm

@An Engrs Wife2 I'm dealing with a migraine right now and this response to you is getting written quickly and not with the patience as I'd like to have. I won't drag up a lot of quotes or copying from some posts I reviewed nor take up time talking about it though I must say that there's still many aspects Cory touched on that aren't all the way up to par. I respect you for coming forward and participating in some discussion and I respect your opinions but I do have to differ relating to the farmer and the out-of-stater. He was told that the rescue was afraid of pit bulls (although they adopt them out!) and he thought he was supposed to just dive right in and get Mojo and long story short he was given the phone number and he woke up the farmer. What could've been a success within due time was a fiasco over KHTC sending him there or there so-called 'hero' as we implicitly know who she is. It's absolutely unclear why she and others haven't disclosed the fact that you drove the first leg out of MN. They have kept this solely in Kirby's glory. Even Cory in his news letter < http://www.albertleatribune.com/2013...-caught > never made mention of your involvement. That is really disappointing the way this entire situation was handled by KHTC. There's so much to this than meets the eye even on issues that Cory, yourself or I've touched on. As for Simon, it's pretty obvious that Shanmar has blasted that one out already so no need for me to repeat anything she shouts out on Simon.

Your joy is sensed through your writing about having had the photo for the t-shirt. That is sweet and it makes you happy for being a part! I hope they gave you one and didn't charge you. My opinion is that they push things a little too far. The t-shirt wasn't necessary and it's all about their rep.

Remember the olden days when we gathered our members to rally in anticipation of a run release when there was a dog in need of transport?...A real tear-jerker? Well, kids…we have that very story for you tonight. A story of a dog who needed to get to his mom after spending an eternity in the cold wintery snow, starving, dehydrated, and feeling hopeless. I know many of you, similar to past run announcements, would like to be in on this transport, however, due to the sensitivity of the high profile star involved, we couldn't randomly post the need for transport. I’m sure you’ll all understand and forgive us for not allowing you the chance to bundle this little beauty in your car…because…wait for it…wait for it….this little rock star is none other than the elusive MOJO!! In an effort to avoid drama, the decision was made to deliver this little guy to his mom before advising of his whereabouts. Tonight, because of you, Mojo is heading home.

WHY DID SIMON SAYS RESCUE ON THEIR NOW DEACTIVATED FACEBOOK PAGE SAY THAT MOJO WAS ABUSED WHEN THEY DIDNT KNOW IN THE FIRST PLACE?

MISLEADING THE PUBLIC?

Kirby Grosso My observation of this character is not so much terror, but in fact trust.
He seems to bond with each person within a short time, then at transfer, he is ripped away from his new love. I believe he is a runner out of confusion, not so much abuse or fear.

I am still wondering how Mojo managed to maintain his body weight in the frigid northern winter nights and days with no food, water or shelter. He looked down right chunky in his first picture after being caught. Not at all like a dog on the run, managing to escape from traps and people for 22 days and surviving the bitter cold with no food to even help him make body heat. :dunno:

Someone doesn't need to hear anyone's prayers but n time of need they ask for prayers. Don't say you'll pray for a dog to this person on KHTC. CLUTTERS UP THE THREAD. SAVE YOUR PRAYERS FOR SOMEONE THAT NEEDS THEM THIS ONE DOESN'T.

Elaine Kilgore Would love to help. I have helped with Lost Dog Recovery for almost 2 years. I use Google Map and Facebook to contact businesses and individuals in the area. Granite state Rescue has great info on their web site on recovering lost dogs. Trick is to get info out and to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Every search needs a coordinator so the searchers can do their job and not be distracted with the usual "I'm praying for your dog""cute puppy" post that do nothing to find the dog but clutter up the thread.

No prayers wanted there by that person. What an awefull remark offensive to those that sincerely pray for a lost dog.

Prayer is such a fruitless waste of time! Prayer goes against god's will, god's plan, what have you, because you are asking for him to change his big plan for measly little you! How selfish! Praying to a toilet will get you better results.. "oh but I was praying FOR someone/something else" yeah.. so YOU WANT that something else to get/have/become/etc? SELFISH!

If you are going to pray, pray that this god will wake the F*k up and start actually doing something GOOD!

I have to be honest and say, I thought that Melissa had mojo too... he was too fattened up and didn't seem at all like he had been out in the cold for days starving and dehydrated. And with the fact they took him to another vet other than their own and they admitted to wanting him. if I am wrong I am sorry, but i thought it...

You are an atheist or anti Christ, admit it You are speaking utter foolishness and" your knees will bow some day ,that Jesus Christ is Lord." YOUR god is unable to help you find any thing, MY God is able and does... Many prayed for this dog to be found and he was found you pitiful poor lost soul, so full of bitterness, I hope you find peace.
