Kimi Peck, as we mentioned, and according to court documents was LEGALLY FORCED to shut down her ‘sanctuary’ in Burbank in 2005. Here is an article written in regards to this shut down. Tehacahpi – 2010 – DE JA VU

Dog house is emptying, owner says July 20, 2005 Mark R. Madler The owner of a controversial dog shelter is meeting a court order to reduce the number of dogs kept at her facility in preparation for a move out of the city, the woman’s attorney said in court Monday. But former volunteers say she is hoarding animals, and will continue to do so. Chihuahua Rescue owner Kimi Peck placed more than 100 dogs Sunday, giving them to foster homes and other rescue organizations, leaving her with only 88 dogs left, said Shannon Keith, Peck’s lawyer, who informed Superior Court Commissioner Kirkland R. Nyby Monday. Peck acknowledged that before the placement of dogs Sunday, she had 284 Chihuahuas housed at her rescue, but that is 50 more than the city’s limit of 234 dogs, said Burbank Police Lt. Bruce Spiers, head of the Burbank Animal Shelter. In June, Peck pleaded no contest in Burbank Superior Court to a municipal code violation of insufficient record keeping for the animals at her shelter and agreed to move the facility out of the city. Peck has an Oct. 26 deadline to shut down her facility in the 400 block of Moss Street. "I’m tired of rescuing," Peck said. "I’m retiring and I’m going to start a sanctuary. I do specialize in dogs that aren’t adoptable. Bring me a dog that’s 15 years old that has six months to live; that’s who I want to take care of." Peck and Chihuahua Rescue gained national attention in August 2003 when they took legal action in a case of 175 feral Chihuahuas taken from a ranch in Acton. A Los Angeles County judge later ruled that Peck’s group could have the dogs placed into foster homes rather than euthanizing them. Former volunteers at Chihuahua Rescue paint a different portrait of Peck — the former daughter-in-law of late actor Gregory Peck — as someone who hoards rather than rescues animals and keeps them in neglected and dirty condition. Former volunteers alleged that Peck is only placing animals now to satisfy the court order, but will continue hoarding them wherever she ends up outside of Burbank. Up to 350 dogs had been at the shelter at one time, creating squalid conditions, they said. Outside the Burbank courthouse Monday, a group of ex-shelter workers held up large color photographs they claimed were taken at the shelter showing multiple animals living in cramped feces-filled cages. Mark Hohne, a veterinarian who worked at the shelter, left after a year because he couldn’t take the smell of the dogs whose cages were not cleaned, he said. "She kept it clean initially to make it so I wouldn’t see what washappening," Hohne said. Peck counter-charged the volunteers were disgruntled people with an ax to grind and that she has adopted out thousands of dogs over the past decade. "This is misdirected," Peck said. "They should go after the breeders and the people who abandon and abuse their animals, not the rescuer who is merely a Band-Aid." The ex-volunteers were in court in hopes of getting Nyby to order Peck to put the remaining dogs up for adoption rather than just transfer the animals to another location. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was ready to begin screening of applicants who wanted some of the dogs, said Rene Barge, an attorney representing the ex-volunteers. Instead, after a nearly 90-minute wait, they witnessed an update on how many animals remained at the shelter and Nyby setting an Aug. 17 status date for the case. "I was hoping the court would take more of a stance," said Alissa Stohlgren, a volunteer who left the rescue facility last fall. "But we’ll be back."

Sep 1, 2010 @ 8:12 pm Post#136 Oh geez, this Kimi Peck on "Dangerously Devoted" is scary. Just from the first clip of her I’ve seen dogs with both kinds of mange, plus corneal ulcers. Is there a separate thread for that show? I did a search and didn’t see one. Sep 2, 2010 @ 9:20 am Post#145 I finally got up the energy to watch this show. After watching regular Hoarders, I became very tired and couldn’t do it anymore. I’m ready for this I think. I wonder how long I can last!? IRT Dangerously Devoted, Mrs. Former Screenplay Writer looked like the child of Kelly Bates (19 Kids) and Farrah’s mom from Teen Mom. I couldn’t stop staring at her!

I thought she has to be mentally ill. Who were all those young people with her? The house she was losing looked to be rural. Were these volunteers? Family members? And just how did/does she plan to support her cross country pilgrimage to DisneyWorld and to see President Obama? It looked like those other young people were going along, too, in her "caravan." It was like a mini-cult. I fear we will see the snake man in the news when one of his snakes hurts his child. Hopefully his snakes are away from the house and not in the basement. And in what world is an alligator a sleeping buddy? Maybe we will see him in the news, too. lovesnark View Member Profile Find Member’s Posts Couch Potato Sep 2, 2010 @ 8:40 pm Post#147 She was a piece of work wasn’t she?

And in what world is an alligator a sleeping buddy? Maybe we will see him in the news, too. She was certifiable. I thought the young blonde was her daughter? I want to know how she could afford a truck, trailer and fuel to take her ridiculous journey. And, I assume she was bankrolling the group that was going along for the cross country ride to crazytown. Her house was going to be auctioned because she wasn’t paying for it but she had $5000 a month to spend on dogs and had money to run away from the problems she created. I call bullshit on her story about having 36 dogs dumped on her doorstep, too. She was a classic, nutso hoarder who couldn’t take proper care of those poor dogs and blamed it all on a conspiracy. Nothing was her fault and all her problems were because people were out to get her. At the end of the show, it said snake guy had agreed to house the snakes in a different building. I hope so. The guy with the traveling menagerie was sort of sad. It’s obvious he has some mental problems but I thought it was sad that he wanted to reconnect with his kids so badly and only one son would have anything to do with him. Makes me wonder what else went on besides him deciding to spend his life living in a truck with a zoo. yourbabymomma View Member Profile Find Member’s Posts Video Archivist Sep 2, 2010 @ 8:43 pm Post#148 Bonnie looked just like Bunky Bartlett..He won the lotto a while back.

Seriously, WTF? Also, if she had several multi-millionaire husbands and didn’t take any alimony? She is seriously mentally ill. I don’t understand why they made this a different show. With the exception of the snake guy they could have been on the weekly show. lovesnark View Member Profile Find Member’s Posts Couch Potato Yesterday @ 12:31 am Post#150 And then she was going on about how she couldn’t pay her electric bill and they were going to shut her electricity off and when she got to the office her bill was $33.67. Seriously, WTF? Also, if she had several multi-millionaire husbands and didn’t take any alimony? She is seriously mentally ill. WTF? is right. You don’t have enough money to make your house payment, pay your property taxes or your electric bill but, you can scrape up 5 grand a month to take crappy care of a couple hundred dogs? Some of those poor dogs were in pretty bad shape and it would have been much kinder to euthanize them than keep them alive with no quality to their lives. When I hear these loons wailing that if they didn’t have all these poor animals they’d be killed, I want to throw things at the TV. Someone who truly loves animals understands that as heartbreaking as it is, euthanizing one that isn’t enjoying life anymore is the kind and loving thing to do. I have to have my daughter’s 30 year old mare put down before winter gets here and it breaks my heart. But, on the flip side, I love her enough to not force her arthritic old body to have to endure another winter. Sometimes, there just aren’t enough meds in the world to make life comfortable for animals in their old age. That’s when love and logic comes in and we do the right thing. The people on these shows don’t have the ability to make the distinction between living and just barely enduring every day. I’m doubting her claim of all those rich ex’s, too. People like her like to say all sorts of crap to make themselves look like the martyrs they imagine themselves to be. Oh geez, this Kimi Peck on "Dangerously Devoted" is scary. Just from the first clip of her I’ve seen dogs with both kinds of mange, plus corneal ulcers. Is there a separate thread for that show? I did a search and didn’t see one. Oh my, I absolutely agree about Kimi. This woman has two hundred dogs in a relatively small house, and she clearly has some very serious issues. At the end of the show she stuffed them all (200 dogs!) in a trailer and plans to take them to "meet Obama" and to Disneyworld.
