Reality TV stars Julia Trubkina and Brandon Gibbs are asking their fans for $250,000 USD to fund a new project, and the reaction online has been mixed.
The couple launched a GoFundMe campaign explaining that they want to build a sanctuary for “overlooked dogs” — the older dogs, the shy dogs, the ones with medical needs, and the ones who don’t present well in loud kennels. Their fundraiser page describes how many of these dogs are constantly passed over in shelters, not because they’re bad pets, but because they need more time, patience, and specialized care than most facilities can offer. Julia writes that every dog deserves a lap to lay their head on, and she believes being “hard to adopt” should never mean being “hard to love.”
According to the GoFundMe description, the sanctuary would be a dedicated space where these dogs can decompress, receive proper training, and prepare for their future homes. The page highlights that many of these animals are left behind simply because they don’t show well in stressful environments, and Julia wants to create a place where time isn’t an enemy. The fundraiser lists the early donations, shows that only $208 has been raised so far, and emphasizes that the project is meant to give unwanted dogs a real chance at a better life. Still, some fans are skeptical, saying the $250K goal feels unrealistic and accusing the couple of doing “another online grift” or using the fundraiser to promote Julia’s dog‑related brand, KingdomsForDogs.
But supporters argue that Julia’s intentions are genuine. Anyone who has followed her online knows she truly loves dogs and has always been a dedicated dog mom. While promoting her dog box business may be part of the visibility, the core of the project is clearly about helping animals who have nowhere else to go. Julia wants to train them, care for them, and eventually help them find loving homes — something she has been passionate about long before this fundraiser existed. Whether fans agree with the $250K goal or not, the mission behind it is rooted in compassion, not exploitation.
