🚨Case Update🚨

RLG, LLP and EARN are eager to share some exciting news regarding our case with client, Southern California Pit Bull Rescue.

We recently finished depositions for our client, Mark Rulon, of Southern California Pit Bull Rescue.

Mr. Rulon continues to impress all of us with his dedication to seeing this case through in honor and memory of the lives of animals taken far too soon by Haven Pet Center, specifically Georgia and Cinnamon.

With Mr. Rulon and his organization, we will continue to seek justice for Cinnamon, Georgia, and every other animal whose life was lost while in the hands of CEO Jeff Sheppard and Haven Pet Center.

As this case moves to trial, we will continue to update you.

Just another day at RLG & EARN 🐈

When our team members get together for meetings you never know who is going to show up but we can always guarantee they’ll be an adorable animal present. 🐶 🐱

We recently met to discuss our current pro and low bono cases and rescue kitty Cinnamon showed up on camera to assist her mom Attorney Jill Ryther.

Together EARN and RLG currently have 32 active pro bono and low bono cases! 🎉

32 families and rescue organizations would not have access to legal representation for their animals without our discounted assistance. We fear to think what would happen to these animals if we could not provide low-cost or free legal services for them.

Thank you to our friends, supporters, and donors for helping us provide life-saving legal assistance for families through our pro and low bono representation.

If you’re able to make a donation of any size, please visit the links in our bio, or our website, www.expandanimalrightsnow.org

🎊Attorney Autumn Williams has done it again!🎊

Back in January 2025, Sora’s canine sibling who was dying of cancer was outside in the evening with their human grandmother. While outside, their neighbors dog came onto Sora’s property, barking at Sora’s canine sister and grandmother. It was dark and late, all Sora knew was that her family was outside and there was another dog on her property barking at them. As such, Sora ran out the front door and was involved in an incident with this other dog. Sora believed she was protecting her family. 
 
On November 18, 2025, nearly 10 months later, a hearing was held and Sora was deemed to be “potentially dangerous.”

Alarmingly, this hearing was held without our clients present as no one ensured that they received notice of the hearing. Therefore, they were unable to defend themselves and Sora. It was upon receiving the ruling from this hearing that they retained our firm. 
 
This “potentially dangerous” designation ignored the clear evidence, municipal code, and other applicable law which DOES NOT allow for a dog to be designated “potentially dangerous” or “dangerous” when there is provocation or when the incident occurs as a result of trespass. 
 
On appeal, it was decided that not only was there trespass onto Sora’s property, but that she was provoked. As such, Sora was not deemed to be a potentially dangerous dog and gets to continue to live her life happily with her family with no terms and conditions.

We are so happy for Sora and her family, and incredibly proud of dedication and tenacity of Attorney Williams!

Today we celebrate the career and retirement of Marc Robinson. ⚖️

Marc has advocated for animals alongside of Jill Ryther since the early days of RLG. Marc’s compassion, dedication, and strong legal skills have been a pillar not only to our clients but also to our team.

The world is a better place because of Marc Robinson.

We are all better people for having the opportunity to work with him. Marc has saved countless lives, sought justice for so many others, and along the way has never wavered from his deep commitment, rooted in humanity for all. And while we are all sad to see the closing of this chapter, we have no doubt that Marc will continue to do great things, and that we will continue to be his comrades in the justice he seeks.

Today we hold up a glass of the finest scotch, favorite cocktails, mocktails, and doggie biscuits as we cheers to and celebrate this one of a kind human.

We love you, Marc! ❤️

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED ⚠️

These images are very disturbing, but are the reality of what is happening to animals in the Skid Row area in Los Angeles, CA.

We are sharing an update in our case with the Stand Up for Pits Foundation.

We continue our fight alongside our client, and have filed our First Amended Petition. Excerpts from that document shared here.

RLG and EARN remain committed to fighting for the animals suffering on Skid Row, and beyond, in our case against LAAS, LA PD, Mayor Bass, The City of LA, and Annette Ramirez.

Thank you for your continued commitment to being a voice for the animals of Los Angeles ⚖️

REUNITED!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Sweet pup Chon Hoi was recently impounded away from his home and family by animal control following an alleged first-time bite incident. Even worse, Chon Hoi’s canine brother, Prince Malo, also pictured here, was included in this designation despite having no involvement in the alleged incident.

Animal control deemed them “Dangerous,” and an administrative hearing was scheduled. Chon Hoi’s humans reached out to us and RLG and EARN Attorney, Autumn Williams represented Chon Hoi, Prince Malo, and their family, and, we are thrilled to share, secured Chon Hoi’s return home!

As you can see in this photo, Prince Malo is very happy to have him home again!
