75. I don't see anything at the links you provided

that demonstrate that the IRS information has even been collected by them for 2012. Can you provide a link on their site to a charity they've listed that has 2012 tax info available? Possibly those monitoring sites do not yet have 2012 data. Because it does make clear the Hagars provided that tax information for 2009, 2010 and 2011. It seems unlikely that the Hagars would suddenly stop complying with IRS regulations.

I do see that you were able to provide direct links to the 2 complaints about them. It was nice to see how many 5 star reviews they had from people stating that the Hagars paid all the dogs' medical bills.

I have no problem if they draw a salary from the work that they do. Frankly, I wondered how Mr. Hagar made a living while spending countless hours...and sometimes days...working to humanely and safely rescue some of the stray dogs in several his videos.
