Shoen did not pay a surrender fee when she abandoned the dogs, forcing Froehlich’s Rotten Rottie Rescue dog adoption agency to pay those costs. Eventually, Froehlich found out that the owner was the wife of the billionaire heir to the U-Haul fortune, Joe Shoen. She then sent Sylvia a text asking for the money needed to save the dogs. Shoen responded: Shoen bought Coco, the mother of the puppies from a breeder with the intent to breed her, Froehlich wrote in a Facebook text. All of the dogs were so sick that Froehlich decided to look up the information on the dog’s collar. That’s when she realized that a billionaire had dumped the dogs. Two days after Froehlich’s Facebook post, Joe Shoen came to take the dogs back. Froehlich refused to give them to him because of the condition the dogs were in when she got them. Froehlich wrote: Froehlich still did not get any money for the dogs’ medical treatments, so she took to Yelp and started posting negative reviews of the local U-Haul facilities. That got the attention of Joe Shoen. She received $15,310 for the surgeries that two of the puppies needed and was also reimbursed for medical procedures already performed on the dogs. Froehlich did update her Facebook post to acknowledge Joe Shoen’s contribution. However, she is still concerned about the three dogs the Shoens still have. She claims the billionaire couple has two 11 week old puppies and their dad and that the dogs live in their own feces. Well as the saying goes, money doesn’t buy taste or class!
