Animal Victims Fund

Donation protected
On Sunday 3/5/23, the true character of Haylee Morris came to light in the Knoxville, TN area. Hundreds of people came forward with evidence of their personal animals being neglected, abused and starved while utilizing her petsitting services. Multiple clients have also had dogs die under her “care” while boarding.

 Hundreds of complaints were made to KCAC and law enforcement since Sunday, and on Wednesday evening, the worst news was confirmed. Over 40 animals were seized from her home, 5 of which were deceased upon authorities arrival. 17 dogs, 12 cats, 2 Guinea pigs, 3 rats, one bearded dragon, one gecko, one turtle and one parakeet were removed from her home.

 The seized animals were transported to Young-Williams Animal center in Knoxville. Many of them are in extremely poor health and are receiving immediate medical attention from the wonderful veterinary staff at the shelter.

 Not only do these animals deserve justice, they deserve all of the support that our community can give after all they have endured at the hands of Haylee and her family.

 100% of donations made in this fund will go directly to these animals’ care and needs as they begin to heal. Every dollar, every cent matters.

 Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Young-Williams Animal Center, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. More information about Young-Williams Animal Center: We are the official animal shelter for Knox County and the City of Knoxville, Tennessee. We take in about 11,000 homeless pets every year and provide food, medical care, and adoption placement. Since the beginning of our Spay/Neuter Solutions program in 2007, we have performed over 63,000 public spay/neuter surgeries, which is reflected in our decreasing intake numbers year after year. Our vision is A Home for Every Pet and we are getting closer to that every day!
