So I just went to https://cuddly.com/ to see if it's the same as one I looked at previously. I think it is.

Curious about where they are, I looked for a location. Nope. So I figured that the jobs page had to say where they are.

It goes to LinkedIn. Which demands a login.

This is kind of the dark web.

But if you can find another site with the story, post it. No need for me to see stories to be sympathetic to the cause. Animals, after all, are only human, which has its benefits and drawbacks.

They just don't lie. Except on a cushion.

Cuddly.com is a "platform" for animal shelters and rescue organizations
They have over 3,000 shelter & rescue "partners" and their website has many, many animals who need help and/or adoption.

Guerrero's story is on Cuddly.com, but I don't know what page....(At the Facebook site there is a link to the story)

I tried doing a Google search on "Dog Buried Alive" but I didn't see Guerrero's story
I did see a recent story about a dog named Courage who was buried alive in the sand and subsequently rescued

"Man gets a call & rushes to save animal buried alive in the sand" (TheDodo)

I can also search and report if I find the story.

I was tired yesterday and I'm still catching up with postponed things today.

Don't delete, but note that FB requires a login and that people are searching for an open-access copy.

We just can't copy things on DU en masse but can only quote 4 paragraphs (how long is it?) due to copyright and fair use.

If I copy something whole that's Creative Commons licensed, I note that for the admins, if they want to check.

Again, thanks for trying. Cuddly can use the publicity.

Edit: this is recent but in South Africa.

https://www.cuddly.com

This post was not meant to be a "solicitation for money" it was merely a story about a dog who endured great pain and suffering because someone willfully and cruelly actually "buried him alive in a cold, desolate dump."

Cuddly.com is a platform for Verified 501(c)(3) animal welfare organizations.
They do not charge their shelter and rescue partners for using their platform.

If, after visiting their website and reading the stories about the individual animals-in-need, you wish to make a contribution for a particular animal, you may do so, but it's not mandatory. You can read about the animals for free.



(It seems to me that the terminology "solicitation for money" is usually from INDIVIDUALS, who have their own agendas and reasons for asking for money; such as needing money to buy food, pay rent, pay for medical treatments etc.)
