Another example of a disgusting human being


The wife of U-Haul billionaire Joe Shoen allegedly dumped several sick Rottweilers on a pet-adoption charity -- and the couple agreed to pay for the dogs' medical costs only after a nasty text and social media feud with the charity's operator, according to a report.

Sylvia Shoen in May had asked Rotten Rottie Rescue in Gilbert, Ariz., to adopt the dogs because she was battling cancer. Shelly Froehlich, owner of the pet-adoption charity, had waived the $600 fee because she felt bad for Schoen -- unaware that Shoen's husband was the second-richest man in Arizona, with a net worth estimated at $2.7 billion, the Arizona Republic reported Tuesday.

Froehlich soon found out that the dogs Shoen dropped off were very sick – some with conditions requiring costly treatments and surgeries. Some were plagued with diarrhea and hydration troubles, while others were strapped with genetic disorders and riddled with parasites.

Froehlich also discovered that the dogs didn’t receive their vaccinations and that some previously had roundworm, among other problems, the Republic reported.

Needed surgeries for at least two of the dogs could cost upward of $20,000, the newspaper reported. Froehlich soon began contacting the Shoens trying to get them to pay for the medical bills. She had learned that Joe Schoen and his brother had made their fortunes through the U-Haul rental vehicle business.

A fight then ensued between Froelich and Sylvia Shoen over financing the dogs' medical care.

“Nobody is going to adopt King Kong with the heavy medical expenses that he will need just to be able to live out his life pain free and happy,” Froehlich reportedly told Shoen in a text. "I was shocked that a woman of your wealth would have staff that would let these dogs get into the shape that they are in.

“You certainly can afford [the surgery] though. You are a billionaire! As a breeder, that is your responsibility. You probably have a hand bag that costs more than what their surgery will cost. Please do this for them. I beg you. Don't force me to put them out of their misery when you can give them a good life.”

Froehlich also threatened to smear Shoen publicly, reportedly texting her, “I will make sure that EVERYBODY knows about your dirty little secrets, and they will hear about how you neglected them of the medical care that they needed, and how god awful skinny they were when they arrived, full of parasites and illness.”

Schoen wrote to Froehlich: “This B---h will never see a copper penny!”

Froehlich did what she promised. She then took to Facebook slamming the Shoens.

When Joe Shoen stepped in to take the dogs back, as Froehlich had previously suggested, the charity owner turned back on her offer allegedly concerned over the dogs’ health at the Schoen house, the paper reported.

Joe Shoen told the Arizona Republic that he was “perplexed” by Froehlich’s decision. He asserted that the dogs had good homes with him and was unsure where the “worms” came from.

Joe Shoen added that he tried to respond to all of Froehlich’s supporters, but accused the woman of encouraging people to act in a “vile manner.” He also admitted that his wife’s messages weren’t right either.

Days after Joe Shoen’s visit with Froehlich, he agreed to pay for the medical expenses for the two dogs who needed parasite treatments and hip surgery – all $15,300.

However, there was a kicker.

Rotten Rottie Rescue announced that the Shoens had paid in 15.3 million pennies.

“I'm happy they finally stepped up,” she told the Republic.

yeah that sounds like BS?

Where the heck do you get 15 million pennies, and how'd he get them there, One million pennies => 1,000,000 * 2.5 grams = 2,500,000 grams OR 5,511.56 lbs per million

15.3 million pennies would weigh 84,318.30 pounds or a little over 42 tons...

Maybe U-Haul trucks?

^^^^^^^

What a miserable life she must have to be stingy with caring for those dogs.

I can understand dropping them off because of the cancer but I would have expected a nice donation to go with them.

LOL perfect, still a 15 ft truck can carry a ton fully loaded, he'd need 42 of them

I think it’s safe to say they did not actually pay in pennies, but that the article author is a ditz who stupidly took the Rescue place’s statement literally when they were merely alluding to Ms. Schoen’s remark about not paying even one copper penny.

Some people deserve what they get.....

I think somebody's math is off. 15 million pennies is $150,000. They paid $15,000.

That's 1.5 million pennies. 8,300 pounds.

Here's what 1 million pennies looks like. We estimated the weight of the pennies at 6,000 pounds (older pennies are heavier than new).

He married his housekeeper?

If you read the history of that family they are nasty and dysfunctional. Not nice people.

Went to grad school with the youngest daughter of the founder. She actually seemed pretty cool and well adjusted but even then there were undertones of the overall family drama.
A few years later (early 90's)there was one of the 48 Hours types show about a very questionable death at one of the family residences in SW Colorado. Don't recall the details but remember it being a very twisted story.
