One of my FB friends just posted this story:

READ READ READ.... JDS IS A MURDERING SCAMMER..
We are heartbroken, sickened and outraged to announce that our dog, Red, an average rated ...beautiful girl, whom we rescued from *** on 11/9 was put to sleep by her foster, JS of XXXX, PA on 11/16. In less than one week, she decided to end Red's life without ****'s knowledge or permission.
On 11/16 we received a frantic call from a rescue friend via a vet employee in PA. JS brought Red into their practice and wanted her euthanized. The vet refused, so JS left with the Red. We immediately called and texted Her. We left messages and sent texts begging her not to do this and told her we would come and pick Red up. We then called XXX Township Police. An officer was immediately dispatched, but it was too late. According to the officer JS had already taken Red to XXXX Veterinary Hospital in XXXX, PA and had her euthanized. We have texts from JS from Nov. 11, 12 & 13 with no mention of any issue or problem. She sent a cute pic of Red, and told us, "she is a gem." Three days later, she had her killed.
Sadly we have grown accustomed to saving dogs from miserable owners. Now we must also worry that vets will euthanize healthy dogs at the whim of a foster, without permission of the dog's owner (****). All of Red's paperwork is in the name of *** and ****, and her microchip was in our name. How could the vet have euthanized a dog if the "owner" could not provide proof of ownership? JS could not possibly have had any legitimate paperwork indicating that Red was her dog. After numerous conversations with the Practice Manager at XXXX Vet, she insists that she can not provide any details to us because we can not prove she was our dog. We have sent her all of the shelter paperwork. When asked if the vet bothered to check the dog's microchip, she said that doesn't prove a thing. They will give us no information other than the fact that the dog is gone.
We have retained an attorney to file a complaint with the veterinary licensing board in PA. We will pursue this in any way we can. We will fight for Red. We will try to stop this vet office from ever killing healthy dogs again, Especially healthy dogs that do not belong to the person who is requesting the euthanasia! We will try our best to see to it that JDS never kills another innocent dog.
Below is a go fund me post by JS about Red. She was attempting to raise money for vet bills which is odd considering **** pays for vet bills. Her post even says, "Even if we cannot be her forever home I am 1000% committed to seeing her find such." Cleary she was a foster, and had absolutely no right to have this girl euthanized. The post appears to be from 11/11, and on 11/16 Red was dead. Was this a scam? Please share far and wide. Let's honor Red's memory. She mattered, and she deserved better.
We will update you as this progresses.
With love & sorrow,
****

Issues with the foster aside, I'm trying my best not to reply to the post asking people to consider NOT condemning the vet for any of this. They have NO idea what this woman told them. She could have said she adopted the dog from the rescue and the dog needed to be put down for something reasonable. She clearly didn't tell them she was the foster and just wanted the dog euthanized for no reason, or that the rescue offered to take it back. I'm sure if I comment, people will just attack me too. UGH!
Edit: This vet is also super nice and offers 100% FREE OVH & neuter to cat rescues once or twice a year. The vets and staff all volunteer their time and spay & neuter easily 100+ cats that day. They also give them all capstar, apply frontline, treat them for ear mites, test them for FIV/FeLV etc, ALL AT NO COST!
