Carol Asvestas still runs her so-called non-profit organization--but, according to a source, she no longer shelters animals on her property. According to her own ASAP website, the organization is going in a "new" direction:
http://www.animalasap.org/
Animals ASAP is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent the law allows.
ASAP’s Mission and Primary Goals
ASAP, Animal Shelter Assistance Program Inc is a unique organization, formed to assist crippled, blind and other animals in emergency situations throughout the United States. Hundreds of handicapped animals are euthanized because of the initial and continual cost of medical care. Animal shelters are over loaded with unwanted animals, therefore ASAP assists shelters by accepting these unfortunate animals.
ASAP will not allow animal’s to suffer. If a veterinarian recommends euthanasia because the animal will be in pain and suffering for the rest of its life, then the veterinarian’s advice will be accepted.
ASAP’s immediate goals are to construct a quality facility for these animals, open a store front and unite crippled animals with crippled children.
ASAP will help shelters that need temporary assistance with animal’s displaced during natural disasters.
ASAP will help shelters that need temporary assistance with animal’s displaced during natural disasters.
ASAP will also help shelters with abandoned baby animals need bottle feeding.
ASAP Articles as of September 30, 2014
Noticed that Behaine is no longer on the board--just three people who have no idea how to run a non-profit and yet they will be ultimately responsible if and when it is revealed that Carol Asvestas used donor contributions for personal use--again. I was told that Carol was bragging that no one can touch her because she is not "responsible" for the non-profit ASAP--only the board members. If the three board members were smart, they would seize control of ASAP and shut it down right away. But because they are totally in the dark as to what is really happening at 9488 Leslie Road, they may have to suffer the consequences once it gets out this is just another "scam" set up by Carol Asvestas.
From what I understand, Carol got rid of about 20 animals (all the dogs and cats) with the exception of one dog that is now dubbed her "disabled" poster dog for ASAP and possibly two other dogs. As to where the animals were taken? Who knows. But I can tell you this, I doubt they all found wonderful "forever" homes. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that she had the animals dumped somewhere in the outskirts of Bexar County, like the area around Talley Road, again.
Michelle Anthony Cryer still works at the same vet clinic and not surprisingly, she got into quite a bit of legal trouble last year:

Makes one wonder if a former WAO vehicle was involved? There was no mention as to the types of vehicles involved in the accident. Inquiring minds would like to know!
Next is Mary and Michelle Reininger. I prayed they'd never be allowed to work at another animal sanctuary ever again based on their horrible track record of protecting and defending the lives of the animals that were under their care at the WAO. Sadly, my prayers were NOT answered--they are working at another animal sanctuary. The sisters now live in Louisiana and work at Chimp Haven.
I pray that they treat the Chimp Haven residents much better than they did at the WAO.
Then there is one of the former WAO board members that thought the San Antonio Zoo was worse than the WAO (comment made back in 2006)--Laura Mireles.
Interesting enough it looks like Laura has legal problems of her own...

Oh how wonderful.
Ron Asvestas reportedly spends most of his time in bars--drinking his life away.
Later: On Oct 2, 2014, Laura entered a plea of nolo contendere - GUILTY. She was fined $700, $422 in court costs and it looks like 90 days in jail.
