SHANE LAWSON TANNER JR arrested after many dogs were found to be living in horrific conditions

- Georgia, USA -


The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office arrested 27-year-old SHANE LAWSON TANNER JR (pictured), of Douglas.


On the afternoon of March 4, 2025, a deputy responded to a home on Elzie Anderson Road following an animal cruelty call. Upon arrival, the deputy could hear multiple dogs barking inside the home and was overwhelmed by a strong smell of feces and urine.

The deputy then called Animal Control for assistance.


The homeowner gave the deputy and the ACO permission to enter the residence. Once inside the home, officers found eight small dogs living in appalling conditions. The Voiceless Victims were surrounded by piles of trash, feces and urine. The deputy reported that all the windows were closed and described the odor as “rancid.”


According to the deputy, the dogs appeared to be malnourished and questioned the homeowner about them. The homeowner, TANNER’s father, explained that he had been paying his son to care for the dogs but failed to do so. He also added that although he had been buying food for the dogs, his son would just give them a little amount. TANNER’s father went on to say that his son never took the dogs outside and never cleaned up after them.


Animal Control removed all of the dogs and TANNER was arrested on cruelty to animals charges. He was booked into the Coffee County Jail and released after posting bond.

HASSAN ARTIUS MOORE arrested and five dogs rescued from a Pitt County home

- North Carolina, USA -


On March 3, 2025, Greenville Animal Protective Services were alerted to an act of animal cruelty through an anonymous tip. They learned that 29-year-old HASSAN ARTIUS MOORE (pictured) was abusing his five dogs.


Officer Brittany Thompson received the anonymous tip along with a video showing MOORE in the area of Deck and McClellan Streets, inflicting severe abuse on a defenseless puppy. MOORE repeatedly slammed the pup against the ground, kicked her, punched her, and threw her around. MOORE then threw the puppy into the back seat of a car and drove away.


Two days later, an Animal Protective Services Officer responded to an unrelated call in the area of Pitt Street. In a nearby driveway, the Officer spotted a car matching MOORE’s vehicle. A further investigation eventually led the Officer to MOORE’s residence in the 700 block of Hooker Road where the Officer discovered two puppies and three adult dogs in unhealthy living conditions.


The Greenville Police Department arrested MOORE and charged him with felony animal cruelty, misdemeanor animal cruelty, and failure to vaccinate.

Additionally, MOORE was cited for violations including the use of excessively heavy and short tethers, unclean housing conditions, leash law infractions, and failure to properly dispose of animal waste.


All of the furvictims are now safe in foster homes.

ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER arrested – Five dead and four extremely malnourished live dogs found at a Clark County home

- Washington, USA -


The Battle Ground Police Department announced that following a year-long investigation, 35-year-old ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER (pictured) has been apprehended.


On November 15, 2024, officers responded to a home in the 2100 block of Southwest Fifth Street, where they smelled a strong stench coming from the garage area.

Officers discovered nine abandoned dogs but sadly, five of them were deceased. The four dogs who were found alive were severely malnourished and in need of urgent medical attention so they were taken for emergency veterinary care.


During the course of the investigation, detectives reached out for assistance to an expert veterinarian from the Human Society of Southwest Washington and the Animal Legal Defense Fund.


An extensive probe enabled investigators to gather sufficient evidence to establish that animal cruelty offenses had been committed. Investigators also identified TERWILLEGER as the former tenant of the home where all the nine dogs were found, as well as the individual responsible for the care of those furvictims.


Investigators then forwarded the case to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office requesting seven counts of animal cruelty in the first degree – death, and two counts of animal cruelty in the second degree – owner fail to provide.


On March 6, 2025, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for TERWILLEGER’s arrest on the aforementioned charges.

However, detectives were unable to locate TERWILLEGER so the Battle Ground Police Department took to social media their appeal to the public for assistance.


On March 8, 2025, the police advised that thanks to the public’s help and “the swift action of our outstanding partners at the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State, the suspect was located and taken into custody without incident—just hours after our initial post.”


Battle Ground Police Chief Dennis Flynn said: “We are truly humbled by the overwhelming support we received on this heartbreaking case. The community’s vigilance and dedication to making our city a safe and compassionate place does not go unnoticed. Together, we can continue to work towards making Battle Ground a safer, stronger community to live, work, and thrive.”
