I am so upset I am crying. Why is it that people and organizations that do so muchgood get **** on like this. ? I have contacted Hemopet because it mentions a mimimum donation of 1000 . dollars. A person emailed me and said that in this case lesser amounts are being accepted and he sent an attachment that I was unable to open because of my computer . will fill you in when I get more info.
It's absolutely insane. Someone who has helped and saved so many animals, being prohibited to?? With all the other monstrosities that go on in the world???
I was able to donate a (much smaller) amount on the site ok

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding here. The State of California has not put Hemopet out of business. In fact the State has accommodated Hemopet by passing a bill that EXEMPTS Hemopet and like businesses from future sales tax.
Hemopet chose not to pay required sales tax for past years for whatever reason. They ran up an overdue bill for $81,000 on past due taxes. They are now asking for public donations for their past due taxes. The fact that sales taxes will not be due on future services does not mean that a business is then exempt from past due taxes. If Hemopet goes out of business it is because Dr. Dodds can't or won't pay her tax bill. The State is not closing her down, just asking her to pay past due taxes. Dr. Dodds knew the taxes were due when providing services but chose not to pay them.
Contribute to Dr. Dodds past due tax bill if you wish but just understand what you are contributing to.
super Dee Dee I WILL TOO ONCE I FIND OUT HOW. I am waiting to hear back from Jean Dodds. Folks could you please email your vets and provide them this link and ask if they can help. Your help is much appreciated.
she has helped many people directly and indirectly in many ways. Her vaccination protocol is becoming universal. I feel like I know her and anyone who has met or even emailed her will feel the same.
The implication is that you do know the whole story behind this, so please educate all of us.
I only know what Dr. Dodds wrote and Dee Dee posted. It is simple to read and understand what the issues are even though Dr. Dodds does "sugar coat" the issues a bit. I am a California resident. I have operated a resale/retail business. I know the BOE (Board of Equalization) requires a business owner to file a quarterly report on sales, taxes due, signed under penalty perjury. If taxes are due, and you don't pay, the BOE sends you a tax bill on a quarterly basis with the taxes due plus penalties and interest.
If there is more of the "whole story behind this," I hope that Dr. Dodds will be forthcoming.
Hemopet was visited one day , unannounced by CA auditors. They demanded to see their bloodbank sales. The auditors deemed them to owe taxes for four years before . This was a total shock to Hemopet as they had been operating tax exempt for over twenty years. They did not and still do not have the funds to pay these taxes. There has been no willful attempt to avoid taxes on their behalf as suggested by Ricky. I thank those of you who have donated and I hope some of you can also help this not for profit company to provide the services dearly needed by our dogs . Thank you
