Ms. Snow WAS arrested and taken to jail in Oklahoma County. She spent a few nights there but then was released and we later found out that no charges will be filed in OK County against her. But there was another County involved, Cleveland County, where they took all the puppies. It is my understanding that she had the puppies in a different location from the adult dogs. We are hearing that Cleveland County intends to prosecute this case. They have not allowed the public to see these puppies but we have heard that some of them were in pretty bad shape. I do wish that both counties would prosecute her and she would never be able to do this again. But my biggest fear is that this just slowed her down and she might be back in business if this doesn't stop. I was also worried that Cleveland County would release the puppies or younger ones to the public unspayed and unneutered. We have been told they would be available for adoption and not released to any rescues so that they could recover some of their expenses. But did hear they plan to vet them all...spay/neuters, shots, hw testing. Thank God! I was afrain that Ms. Snow would send all her family and friends to adopt and the vicious cycle would start over again.
I am on my work computer so I don't have pictures of my 2 fosters here but I will post some this evening. I have Richie, a beautiful chocolate yorkie. Richie is 4 yrs. old and 13.5 lbs. He is one of the few healthy ones, maybe the only healthy one. I also have Jagger who has no bone in his lower jaw due to the horrible oral infection. No telling how long he has had it for it to get to this point. But the good news is with good food, some antibiotic, a clean, warm place to sleep, he is eating well and has shown signs of improvement since his release from the shelter on Tuesday. I will get those pictures on her this evening so you can see my 2 babies.
Thank you all so very much for your support! This has been a huge undertaking for our rescue but with your help and support we have been able to take these pitiful babies in and give them hope for a much better future. |
