Two by Two Rescue has saved countless animals—but what happens when the person leading it crosses ethical and legal lines? In this raw and unedited episode—livestreamed on Facebook—we take a no-holds-barred look at Sonya King, the executive director at the center of a high-stakes lawsuit, a history of questionable ownership claims, and a GoFundMe scandal that left donors demanding answers.
We start with Promise, a pit bull whose legal ownership was settled in court—but that didn’t stop King from trying to claim her. Despite a judge ruling that the dog belonged to the Greater Birmingham Humane Society, Two by Two took another rescue to court, demanding ownership of an animal they never legally had tying the other rescue up in a peppering of court pleadings.
Then, we dig into a pattern of controlling behavior—a former dog owner who had to get the police involved just to get their own pet back from King. And if you think it stops at animals, think again.
Next, we expose the GoFundMe disaster involving CJ Kelley, a homeless man simply trying to survive in the woods of Alabama with his dog. Sonya King raised $10,000 in his name—but when he didn’t comply with her expectations for how he should live, she shut down the fundraiser and kept the money. Now, donors are claiming they never got their refunds, and CJ is left wondering how his name was used for profit without his consent.
But the story doesn’t end here. I am still reading hundreds of pages of court documents filed on this case and I’ve been contacted by people close to this situation—people with firsthand knowledge—who have agreed to interview for this podcast. Stay tuned, because there is more to uncover.
