[NAGDU] Dog repo in Florida

[Raul A. Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello Tracy, thanks for your question. As you may recall from our board 
meeting last night, nobody asked about this. I do not know what the 
current situation is. Based on other emails we have seen on this list, 
on the Blind-Talk list, and on the flagdu list, Reverend Blake has setup 
a GoFundMe page and has secured a lawyer. It is our understanding that 
she appealed with Southeastern and they denied her appeal. She and I 
have only spoken once, and after that, a one-sided version of my 
conversation was shared on the various lists. As you may be aware, I 
sent a response from March 12. Therefore, NAGDU is not taking action 
since it appears that the issue is being addressed in Florida.


Respectfully,
