~ Update: March 7, 2023
I heard back from the Fayette County Humane Society and part of the email reads: “It’s an ongoing investigation. The police involved in the investigation said we cannot share pictures or comment much info until the case is over. I can say Annie is doing ok for what she’s been through and we are awaiting inflammation and swelling to go down to be able to do her surgery. After the case is over, we will be willing to discuss it further.”
~ Original story:
The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office arrested 43-years-old TEDDY WOODS (pictured) for viciously beating his dog with a pipe and his fists.
Fayette County Sheriff Mike Fridley said that on February 27, 2023, deputies went to WOODS’ residence in Ansted to respond to a disturbance.
Upon arrival they learned from neighbors that they pleaded with WOODS to stop hitting the dog but he refused.
A Fayette County Animal Control Officer rescued the voiceless victim and took her to Oak Hill Animal Hospital to be assessed. It was determined that the dog had suffered a broken pelvis and other serious injuries.
According to a Facebook post by the Fayette County Humane Society, the furbaby is now in their care and they introduced her as Annie.
Part of the post reads: “This sweet, unfortunate girl is the victim of severe animal abuse. 😢 (Other photos are too graphic to post.) Donations are needed for her emergency orthopedic surgery to save her leg and repair her pelvis.”
The cost of the surgery and the ongoing medical care is expected to be approximately $5,000 and the Fayette County Humane Society is understandably asking for donations.
If you wish and can afford to help Annie, please visit Fayette County Humane Society Facebook page. Thank you!
WOODS was arrested for felony animal cruelty.
