State police charged a Shippensburg couple with aggravated animal cruelty after they refused to provide proper medical treatment to their critically ill, pregnant miniature American Bulldog.
On July 15, Dashondi Moorer and Niquey Jones drove Tiny to CARE Veterinary Center in Frederick, Maryland, for an examination because she was ill and pregnant.
According to authorities, Alexandra Resnick, a veterinarian at the center, discovered Tiny had been in labor for three days, was carrying many stillborn puppies, and had sepsis and pneumonia.
According to authorities, the couple refused an emergency C-section, which Resnick claimed could save Tiny’s life. When Resnick offered to euthanize Tiny for free to save him from suffering, the couple declined and left the clinic with Tiny.
Tiny’s death was certain without medical attention, Resnick told authorities. Authorities asserted that earlier medical care could have prevented Tiny’s death.
Police were unable to determine Tiny’s exact fate or contact Moorer and Jones, who reside in a Ford Explorer.
On Monday, police charged the pair with felony aggravated cruelty to animals, as well as misdemeanor cruelty to animals and animal neglect.
