Tammy Grimes Jailed for Rescuing Dying Chained Dog ~ Needs Your Help! Video links enclosed. SUPPORT HER AND PASS THE WORD ON!
Save Woman Jailed for Rescuing Dying Chained Dog
A neighbor had been watching poor Doogie dying on his chain each day and finally couldn't stand it anymore. She had been calling the Central PA Humane Society to no avail, so she desperately contacted Dogs Deserve. Representative Tammy Grimes accompanied the neighbor to examine the physical condition of the dog, who was shivering on the cold ground, unable to get up. The dogs owners were not home and the humane officials could not be reached. In an act of desperation for this dying dog, Tammy decided to remove Doogie from his horrible situation and take him to a vet.
The vet documented his general negligent condition, low weight, sores,
missing fur, and took xrays of his back and hips. He determined that he has very bad back spurs that are causing him a lot of pain and are most likely responsible for his inability to walk. He also saw an
undetermined mass near his hip on the xray. He gave him a shot for pain plus some B vitamins for energy, so that perhaps he could have even one good day or a few good hours. He wrote a letter stating his condition in case Tammy needed it as proof.
Shortly after Tammy got Doogie to her home, situated, bathed (had to, the stench was too bad), and fed and watered an Officer Flag called from the Freedom Township Police Department. He wanted Tammy to return Doogie, which she refused to do. Tammy was subsequently arrested and is currently in jail.
Please sign this petition to get Tammy released and NOT to let them return Doogie to his abusive owners!
Here are videos of Doogie:
