And yes, I'm naming names here - namely Jan Weber who works at Lexee's
Legacy, one of the DFW area's many pet rescues.

This woman seems overly cruel and vindictive, going out of her way to
call and harrass people about how "mean" they are when they have
brought a dog into Lexee's because they cannot care for them any more.
I know that some people place animals above people, but there is no
reason for doing this - NONE.

Case in point.  A very good friend of mine, after having adopted a
puppy from Lexee's a couple of years ago decided, AFTER MUCH ANGUISH on
her part, that she had to give up this dog.  The dog had never learned
not to poop/pee in the house (after numerouse training sessions), she
became very ill (having multiple allergies which required many
expensive meds), and had become very aggressive, attacking two smaller
dogs, which got my friend into hot water.

After weeks of tears, prayer, and weighing the pros and cons, my friend
finally made peace with the fact that she had to give up this dog.  SHE
DID NOT WANT TO, but these circumstances forced her to.  There was
never a more loved dog - she spoiled this dog more than any child.  The
dog (80 lbs!) sat in her lap, was given her own chair, slept in bed
with her, got the best food, medical care and overall care of any dog
I've personally ever come across.  This entire decision about ripped my
friend apart, so I don't want ANYONE saying that she's a bad person and
a mean pet owner.

After calling Lexee's to explain that she was bringing in her dog, this
Jan Weber person berated her over the phone for even contemplating
doing this, which really upset my friend.  Luckily Jan was not there
when she and another friend dropped off the dog, but TODAY--Memorial
Day no less!--Jan calls my friend from a number *other than Lexee's*,
and left her a message about "how depressed" the dog is now, and how
"she's never seen a more depressed dog."  Well my friend called her
back at the non-Lexee's number Jan called her from (hello, caller ID!)
and Jan ripped into her about "why are you calling me at this number?"
and then how "mean and cruel" my friend was for giving up her
dog--something that was COMPLETELY uncalled for, and extremely
unprofessional!  This woman actually sounds a bit unhinged, quite
frankly.  My friend called me today in tears, understandably completely
traumatized.  And now I'm pissed off as well.  No one should have to go
through that crap.

If anyone knows the name of the MANAGER or OWNER of Lexee's PLEASE
POST.  I and some other friends plan to get hold of her and let her
know that someone like Jan is bad for Lexee's business and has got to
go.

So be forewarned if you ever have to deal with Lexee's Legacy in
Carrollton! >:-(
