Northwest Dog Rescue & Service Training Center continues to present itself as a charitable organization, yet publicly available information around its fundraising activity leaves significant unanswered questions.

A GoFundMe campaign associated with the organization was created on July 28, 2025, under the name Jason Strickland. Despite later claims made on Facebook that this fundraiser had been removed, the GoFundMe page has remained active and publicly accessible. As of December 30, 2025 this fundraiser remains active and was never removed.
Claims were also made that an additional fundraiser hosted on GoButter was taken down. However, both the GoFundMe and GoButter fundraisers have continued to exist, contradicting those public statements.
A closer look at the GoFundMe page reveals multiple entries listed as “offline donations.” These are not donations processed by GoFundMe itself. Instead, they are amounts manually entered by the fundraiser creator.
It is important to understand what this means:
- Offline donations are not verified by GoFundMe
- There is no public record showing who made these donations
- No transaction confirmation exists within the platform
- The entries rely entirely on the fundraiser creator’s claims
While some legitimate organizations use offline entries to document checks or cash received elsewhere, this practice can also be used to make a fundraiser appear more active or credible than it actually is. Donors reviewing a campaign have no way to independently confirm whether these offline donations occurred.
In the end, the issue is not speculation but documented inconsistencies. There are clear contradictions between public claims that the GoFundMe was deleted and the fact that it has remained active, alongside unanswered questions about the nature and verifiability of so-called offline donations. Together, these points reasonably raise concerns about transparency and accuracy, especially when the public is being asked to donate in the name of a “non-profit”.
