A third party not involved in this case reported that last week the defendant came to the veterinarian’s office where one puppy is being held for evidence in the trial and demanded that the vet return the puppy to her. She reportedly stated that she would not pay for the medical bills, but she still wanted the puppy. Of course, the vet refused to give her the puppy at all.
This one puppy had been seized by the Sheriff because the poor little baby had a broken leg that the defendant did not deal with. That was the basis of one of the charges–failure to provide medical attention.
Last week, the defendant placed an ad in the Helena Independent Record offering puppies for sale. She described them as husky-pitbull mix and “unique.” She was selling them for $200.
Neighbors still don’t know he fate of the 4 dogs and 8 puppies who were not seized. The defendant moved her remaining dogs and puppies (including the ones she is trying to sell) to an unknown location. We worry that she continues to abuse them out of our sight.
