Pennsylvania: Zach Gannon, 23, gets updated mugshot after repeatedly kicking and stomping his aunt's Boxer puppy so hard it had to have its leg amputated
PENNSYLVANIA -- This wonderful specimen got angry when his aunt's beloved 8-month-old Boxer puppy was excited to see him and in her excitement dribbled some pee on his shoes.
So Zach repeatedly kicks and stomps her - so viciously that she had to have her broken and smashed leg amputated to save her life.
Despite facing felony animal cruelty charges in which the news media proclaim carries a jail term of "up to two years" - that never happens. And as expected, little Zach, who was sponging off her aunt and living at her house, got a small fine and sent to anger management classes.
Look for Zach in future police reports where he beats a baby because it won't stop crying. He's a lost cause.

Jamaica: Andrew Ventour, 24, charged after his pit bull attacked a man
JAMAICA -- A man has been arrested and charged after his dog — a pit bull — allegedly attacked a man who was bitten all over his body.
The police reported that the pit bull scaled a fence and attacked a middle-aged man.
The dog’s owner, Andrew Ventour, 24, was charged on one count each of causing injury by a dangerous dog and failing to have a warning notice of “dangerous dog” affixed to his place of residence.
Ventour, who was also charged with failing to insure and license a dangerous dog, was granted bail in the sum of EC$15,000 when he appeared in court last week.
He is scheduled to reappear in the St George’s Magistrate’s Court on January 10.
His two pit bulls have since been seized by the State.
Following this incident, the police reminded owners of dangerous dogs of their obligation, under the Dangerous Dog Act, to ensure that their animals are kept under control, that their properties are security fenced and that they are in possession of an insurance policy of no less the EC$250,000.

Virginia: Chesterfield pony ‘Patches’ dies in Rottweiler attack; police shoot dog
VIRGINIA -- Police and Animal Control units are investigating after a miniature pony died following an attack by two Rottweiler dogs on Wednesday, November 30.
Cathie and Michael Richardson live in the 3800 block of Baldwin Road in Chester. Mr. Richardson said he was in his home when he heard dogs barking. He said he looked outside and witnessed the dogs attacking the pony's face.
He said the Rottweilers were playing tug-of-war with Patches' face, each yanking the poor little pony left and right. The pony couldn't escape them. Finally, exhausted, Patches fell over and the Rottweilers began attacking his belly and neck.
Richardson says he ran outside with a baseball bat to save Patches but with both Rottweilers trying to attack him - and obviously not having a firearm on the property - Richardson says he had no choice but to run back inside the house and call 911.
Chesterfield Police and Animal Control responded to the scene and one of the Rottweiler dogs was shot by a responding Chesterfield officer.
The pony was euthanized after a responding veterinarian consulted with the family and said there was no chance for survival. Patches had suffered serious injuries to his face, his body and one of his legs was broken.
The Richardson family said they are in disbelief that this could happen. The pony, named “Patches,” was 34 years old and had been a member of their family for 27 years.
For Chelsea Richardson, Patches had been around in her family longer than she’s been alive. The pony was her brother’s 6th birthday present.
“She was here before me and it was just an incredible privilege growing up having an animal like that,” Richardson said.
She remembers the unique experiences that came along with having a pony as a pet.
“My bus would stop out at the road there,” Richardson said. “Sometimes my dad would bring the pony to the bus stop just to really mess with the kids on the school bus.”
In regards to what happens to the dogs that attacked her pony, she said that’s not up for her to decide. But, she wishes the owner had done more to prevent it.
“The breed has enough trouble as it is,” Richardson. “If you choose to have a breed like that, you need to be extra responsible for it.”
One of the dogs was shot by an officer when police arrived on scene, but both dogs survived.
Both dogs are currently at the Chesterfield Animal Shelter.
The owner of the dogs met officers at Animal Control and was given eight charges, confirmed Animal Control Officer Alice Berry.
The person that was fined lives in a neighborhood that borders the neighborhood where Patches lived.
The owner has a court date on Jan. 18 in Chesterfield General District Court.

Canada: Labrador puppy attacked by loose pit bull at park. Denese Maharaj takes the opportunity to lecture everyone about pit bulls
CANADA -- I was just notified of a tragic event that took place at Heritage Park on Monday. A beautiful female white lab puppy was attacked by a tall brindle pit bull that came running out of the bushes at her. Female owner of pit bull appeared after attack was in progress.
Please be aware as unsure if this dog was picked up.
I frequent this park and it saddens me that this has happened.
Stay safe with your pets
Mark Davies A pit bull also attacked another dog a couple of weeks back (and came out of nowhere). Wonder if it's the same one.
Mark Davies I really hope this person got the information on the dog and person and a picture, and I hope their dog survives.
Davena Dyck My dog was attacked yesterday at Bateman park. Had to go in for emergency surgery.
Mark Davies Sorry to hear that :(
Sean Scudder What happened Davena??! :(
Davena Dyck Nothing really happened before hand. He had been there for a good 20 min playing around and Guinness walked up to sniff and Razor went crazy on my dog. The sewed up 4 holes that went right thru his ear flap, a tear on The bottom and 2 on the side of his face. He has lots of other marks on his ear that didn't go right thru. Vet said he probably has whiplash too. Said that the other dog was definitely wanting to rip his ear off.
Thelma Manning Does anyone know how the lab puppy is?
Peta Pemberton Unfortunately they had to rush away with their puppy so they were unable to get any info. However there were other people there we hope did. They were yelled at to grab their dogs due to this pit bull.
The info I received is the puppy had 1 surgery $1600 and is supposed to have more. I believe she was only 6 months old.
A similar brindle pit bull, unsure if it is the same one attacked a little dog causing damage as well. The owner got a $250 fine. I don't understand that at all.
Denese Maharaj Its likely not a 'Pit Bull'. APBT are not tall. Some sort of bully mix breed is likely. Or big brindle coat dog. I think I've met this baby lab. Sure hope shes okay with no long term effects. I'm sure the other dogs owner will be in hiding for awhile. But lets please not turn this into a 'pit bull' witch hunt. When it likely has no APBT in it.
Peta Pemberton I have friends and family who have owned pit bulls. This was a simple warning to watch out for this one dog and keep your loved ones safe. This was the description whether it was a true pit bull or not it is what to watch out for.
Denese Maharaj I truly appreciate that. As BSL surrounds us all it is so very important not to label a dog a pit bull. Because there are awful people that will take the comment and run with it.
Unfortunately there is a lady in Mission who has been to council to enforce breed restrictions (against 'Pit bulls') because of mislabeling. This is extremely scary for people who own bully breed dogs.
So rather than labeling a dog anything, a description like tall brindle coated dog with female owner is greatly appreciated. I understand your sentiment and the idea is for people to be aware of said dangerous dog so that another terrible episode doesn't happen.
I don't want to take away from the original purpose of the post. I would really just like for the general public to be aware of the mislabeling of 'Pit bulls' so that we can move away from a breed being bad instead of select dogs not being cared for properly by their people and causing big problems like this. I'm sure you can appreciate this. Because as BSL surrounds me and my family a seemingly innocent comment on social media that paints a 'pit bull' in bad light, thats meant to warn people, instead gives ammunition to the people that want to see my dog dead. Only because he belongs to the phenotype of the dog you're describing. Not because he's behaved in any negative way.
I'm sure you can appreciate my position. We all want to keep our good dogs safe. From whatever is trying to do them harm. Again I sure hope this young dog comes out of this unscathed. If anyone has updates it would be great to hear that puppy is going to be okay.

Tennessee: Four dogs die and more than 50 rescued after hoarder's house goes up in flames
TENNESSEE -- Four dogs were killed and more than 50 rescued from a house fire Saturday night on E. Bel Air Blvd.
Clarksville Police said there was no one in the home at the time of the fire which was reported at around 7:45 p.m.
Clarksville Fire Rescue Fire Marshall, Ray Williams, said the blaze was caused by an electrical problem.
“The fire was electrical in nature. It was near and electrical outlet. I don’t know what was actually plugged up at that time, but we did determine that,” said Williams.
According to Montgomery County Animal Care and Control Director Jeanette Farrell, five dogs are in critical care due to smoke inhalation. The rest are now in protective custody at the shelter.
“Fire and Rescue was phenomenal,” Farrell said. “They got 17 dogs out immediately, so we were able to get them to the shelter right away.”
Once the scene was cleared, 10 Animal Control officers helped round up the remaining dogs. “This is a hoarding situation. They were breeding elderly dogs and this is a prime example of why we need regulations that require licensing of breeders,” Farrell said.
The homeowners were reportedly in Kentucky. It’s not known how long the dogs were left unattended.
Dozens of volunteers were on hand Sunday morning, walking dogs, cleaning cages and bowls and showing the animals lots of TLC.
The shelter is located at 616 N. Spring Street.

New York: Lisa Birdsall is accused of adopting out sick pets and sticking new owners with thousands of dollars in vet bills
NEW YORK -- A northern Westchester animal rescue operation is under fire for allegedly adopting out sick pets and sticking new owners with thousands of dollars in vet bills.
Alleged victims are still coming forward with videos and pictures of sick animals which they say were adopted from the mobile non-profit, "Recycled Paws Rescue."
Four years ago, Bob Pidgeon and Kyle McCarthy, of Cortland Manor, adopted McGee, a Shepard mix, from the non-profit Recycled Paws Rescue.
They said they were told the puppy was given a clean bill of health by a veterinarian, but almost immediately, things with McGee went terribly wrong, CBS2’s Scott Rapoport reported.
“He vomited. He had diarrhea. He was lethargic. He didn’t run around, he just laid there,” McCarthy said.
She said the dog had a case of distemper, which is a potentially deadly neurological disorder. She feared it might kill him.
McCarthy said she paid more than $3,000 in veterinarian bills for a puppy she was told was healthy but obviously was not. She is furious at Recycled Paws Rescue.
“Deceitful. Disrespectful. They are essentially just flipping puppies,” she said.
Her case against Recycled Paws Rescue is apparently not the only one.
Westchester officials confirm owner Lisa Marie Birdsall has outstanding civil penalties for operating without a permit in the past. They say she also voluntarily surrendered a number of sick dogs during an investigation.
"We provided medical care for those 10 dogs. There were still dogs sick. One of the problems we faced with this, a vet said those dogs were under their care," says Ernest Lungaro, of the Westchester SPCA.
SPCA officials say they are investigating a number of complaints.
Birdsall and her attorney had no comment to News 12. However, in response to the accusations against Birdsall, her attorney sent a statement, saying “She has not done that knowingly. She has adopted out thousands and just a few complain. They are animals, not goods with a warranty. The allegations are unfair.”

New Jersey: More than 80 cats found locked inside from hoarding house; hopefully authorities plan to prosecute
NEW JERSEY -- This was posted on a rescue's Facebook group page. Although I am glad that the cats are being rescued, I do hope that the owner will be prosecuted. At this time, the rescue group does not mention it.
Please note, prosecution does not have to mean jail time. Prosecutors can set aside a judgment - and if the owner is someone who really and truly wants help and does everything they're supposed to do (e.g. get mental health counseling, clean the home to make it livable again, etc.), the charge can be dismissed. Taking the animals out of the situation does not solve the problem.
Today was a tough day at RBARI.
When you get a call for rescue, you want to go in, get the job done, never look back, and certainly never leave any animals. But, we have never been faced with a case like this.
We received a call from a local family in desperate need with over 80 cats. We immediately canceled our meetings, dropped everything and staff members headed to the home.
More information to come, as we undertake the largest and most devastating cat rescue RBARI has ever faced.
14 cats and kittens are safe with us, under the care of our veterinarian. We look forward to sharing their progress with you.
http://www.rbari.org/donate/betty-lou-fund/
Thank you for caring ...❤️- we could not continue to do this lifesaving work without your continued support.
