Now that her location has been confirmed and she has been served legal papers, Paula Nourse is scrambling. In recent days, she has been urgently trying to move dogs out of her possession, even offering to pay fosters to take them. This unusual tactic raises questions about how many animals she truly has and why she is suddenly so desperate to find placements.

Nourse has also been contacting local rescues, alleging that she is shutting down and asking them to take in dogs currently in her care. While she frames this as a sudden need due to health concerns, it appears to be part of a broader effort to gain sympathy while avoiding accountability.
The False “Wheelchair” Story
To add to the pressure, she has been spreading a sob story that she is “in a wheelchair” and in failing health, claiming she has no choice but to shut down. The truth? Paula is NOT in a wheelchair. While she is a dual amputee and uses prosthetics, our recent photos and video clearly show her actively doing transports, walking, and continuing to take in more dogs.
What’s Really Going On?
The sudden push to move dogs, the offers to pay fosters, and the false narrative about her health all point to a larger concern: too many animals in her care and growing public scrutiny. With legal action underway and her location no longer hidden, Paula appears to be taking drastic steps to cover her tracks.
For years, questions have surrounded Nourse’s rescue activities, from a lack of transparency to repeated rebranding under different business names. Now, as the spotlight intensifies, her actions signal a troubling pattern: placing animals at risk while shifting responsibility to others.
Rescues, fosters, and community members should remain cautious when approached by Paula Nourse with offers, requests, or pleas. The animals deserve stability, not to be caught in another cycle of neglect and manipulation.

So we have to ask: Why the sudden rush to get rid of dogs, Paula? Could it be that you have too many in your care again, and you know the spotlight is now on you?
