Does anyone here follow the Asher House on IG?

I quite enjoy watching his stories when they crop up on my Facebook "watch" thing. But I don't get them in chronological order and don't follow on IG.

So anyway, he used to be based in Estacada Oregon I believe but moved to a much bigger place somewhere else in the States last year - am I right?

My question is - what happened to all the farm animals he had in Oregon? I know he had pigs, llamas, at least one cow, a goat (plus a parrot and some cats) but all he ever shows us now is the dogs. And he's continually getting new dogs - up to 50 or so atm?

Have the other animals been quietly forgotten about? He must have made a colossal amount of money to be able to afford the new place plus all the staff (who rarely make an appearance).

He keeps popping up on my FB and I can't understand how he can look after so many dogs, does he foster them and then they go to forever homes?
Its like he only gets them to make (shirtless) videos. I don't know what to make of him.

He's done a video to say the other animals are still at the original sanctuary being looked after, and will be moved to the new place once they've got all the fencing and accommodation sorted. It will take a while as they've had a shitty winter weather wise and need the ground to dry out.

He does have staff to help look after the dogs. Some go to new homes, some stay with him forever.

I think he fosters some and keeps some? Do dogs actually like living in such a big pack? All the gushing comments "you are an angel, Lee" seem to come from women so perhaps he's playing to his audience with shirt off!

Does his money come from donations or social media platforms because it would cost a fortune.

Asher House is a registered charity. They are funded by donations, YouTube (he has almost 500k subscribers), brand affiliations, selling Asher House branded clothing and CBD business.

He has a patreon and every video you watch is interrupted by several adverts. So I assume both. It's incredible the amount of money you can get from being popular on social media.

If you follow on YouTube (and therefore get all the advertising exposure) does that automatically mean money in the bank account?

He is odd he calls himself a sanctuary. Yet he takes in healthy dogs and popular breeds. It seems to me he is like a kid in a candy store wanting all the popular breeds. He has to be constantly shirtless on IG. I never see him really adopt or take in old sick dogs. He kisses dogs like they all want to be smothered like that. I heard one time in an interview told some guy that the girl really wants it. He just seems off to me. Why is he constantly shirtless. To sell himself and be funded by people.

Wildwestbandit · 05/02/2024 14:15

You hit that on the nail. He is playing into the shirtless sales tactics. Something is off, and if he is a sanctuary he sure gets healthy popular breeds. I don't really see him get sick or old dogs.

I would like to add that he has killed several dogs under very suspicious circumstances, look into Chevy and Janny just to start. Also, the money he makes on social media, speaking events, merch, cbd, NONE OF IT GOES TO THE DOGS. He keeps that for personal funds. There are so many dogs that he never updates us about and we never know what happens. And the video of him showing where the dogs sleep is total bullshit, the kennels he has for the dogs are outside, tiny little cages. The DOJ is investigating his scam, BEWARE!
