Thirty-seven dogs suffered horribly at the hands of Nicole Hulbig before finally dying and having their bodies dumped into garbage bags. Thirty-nine dogs still alive rescued from Hulbig's concentration camp. Hulbig also swindled animal lovers out of money for her 'rescue'. Tennessee sees fit to give her 15 days in jail.

TENNESSEE -- The Sumner County woman who concealed 37 bags of dog remains is forbidden to have any animals in her possession for the rest of her life.

Nicole Friedman Hulbig, 30, pleaded guilty to all 12 counts of animal cruelty at the Sumner County Criminal Court in Gallatin on Thursday. She was sentenced to 15 days in jail and 12 years of probation.

Her charges stem from July 2014 when deputies with the Sumner County Sheriff's Office discovered the remains, along with 39 unhealthy dogs at her alleged nonprofit RRR Service Dogs inside a Cottontown barn. The barn was behind Hulbig's mother's house in the unincorporated community, also known as New Deal.

People from several counties gave dogs and donations to Hulbig, who through the nonprofit, was supposedly training the animals that were to provide help and companionship for military personnel.

When the dogs and money started disappearing with no visible results, donors started requesting the whereabouts of their pets and financial resources.

"I think the sentence meets the interest of justice," Hulbig's defense attorney Randy Lucas said.

Well of course Randy's going to say that... HE'S PAID TO SAY THAT. I hope when Randy lays his head down at night to sleep that his dreams are nightmares filled with the souls of these tortured, dead dogs. He took blood money to defend this odious woman. He is just as bad as her.

Hulbig is also banned from being in control of any animals, according to a special condition of her probation.

She has to also pay $2,000 to be split between the Humane Society of Sumner County and the Sumner Spay Neuter Alliance in Gallatin.

Hulbig will be spending her jail time on consecutive weekends starting Aug. 1.

Prosecuting attorney Sidney Preston could not be reached for comment.
