A U.S. Marine. A neighbor’s false claim. Three innocent dogs gone. Now Rick needs our help.

Rick Wallace has always answered the call to serve. As a proud United States Marine, he defended our country with courage and honor. Today, he’s facing a battle he never expected—one taking place in a courtroom instead of a combat zone.

Rick’s neighbor has filed a civil lawsuit, accusing Rick’s three dogs of killing a pony. But here’s the truth: no clear evidence supports this claim. Wildlife activity in the area is a far more likely cause of the horse’s tragic death. Despite this, Rick’s neighbor acted without warning or investigation—and shot and killed all three of Rick’s dogs.

Instead of mourning and healing, Rick is now being sued.

This lawsuit is not just unfair—it’s deeply unjust. Rick is being forced to defend himself against a claim with no hard evidence and after suffering a heartbreaking loss. And now, he’s being crushed under the weight of mounting legal costs.
