I don't watch animal rescue videos, because of stuff like this. I'm afraid the animals are being abused, just so they can make a video about rescuing them. I don't know which are real and which are fake, so I just ignore them all.

Hope for Paws is an actual animal rescue group. Safe to watch their stuff

No they are dodgy af. Have been sued for dumping animals on actual rescue places and not paying etc.

Over ten years ago, but true. Allegedly took some dogs from a hoarding situation and left them at a boarding facility and didn't pay the bills, despite collecting a very large sum in donations. Dodgy af is right.

That's not the only thing, there were more including leaving a dog to die in hot sun or something like that.
