Summary
Hungry & Abandoned Paws Shelter appears to be a foreign-operated fake rescue page sharing an address, content, and PayPal account with another page called Just One Life Shelter. Here's what we found.
What They Claim
Hungry & Abandoned Paws Shelter presents itself on Facebook as an animal rescue shelter soliciting donations via Ko-fi. The page lists an address of 1040 E Main St, Clarksville, Arkansas.
What the IRS Says
Hungry & Abandoned Paws Shelter makes no explicit nonprofit claim but solicits donations without any verifiable charitable standing. There is no record of this organization in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.
Red Flags
- This page shares its address, boilerplate bio, photos, and Ko-fi donation link with a nearly identical page called Just One Life Shelter – also listed in this tracker. Both pages appear to be operated by the same individual or group.
- Several language details strongly suggest this operation is based outside the United States. The page lists its language as ‘Ingles’ – the Spanish word for English – indicating the page was set up by someone using a Spanish-language interface who didn’t catch the error before publishing. The contact email uses the word ‘atendimento’ – a Portuguese word meaning customer service. The associated domain friendlypaw.org is not a registered domain. The address includes ‘EUA,’ the Portuguese and Spanish abbreviation for United States.
- Donations go to a Ko-fi account called solidaritypaws – not to any named rescue organization.
