On April 3, 2025, a female dog who was extremely emaciated and severely abused was found in the 4500 block of Northwest 36th Street in Lauderdale Lakes. The concerned citizen who found the dog called for help and an officer with Broward County Animal Care and Adoption Division picked her up and took her to Big Dog Ranch Rescue.


The rescue is now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the monster(s) responsible for the dog’s neglect.


Big Dog Ranch Rescue shared pictures of the furvictim, a black Giant Schnauzer whom they refer to as Bibi.

BiBi was severely emaciated to the extent that she could not even stand or walk without help. The sweet soul was suffering from multiple injuries, including broken ribs, damage to her spine and hips.


In the heartbreaking video published on their Facebook page, Big Dog Ranch Rescue said: “This was no accident. This was animal cruelty”.


In an update posted on April 10, 2025, the rescue said: “BiBi has just had her first haircut, and what we uncovered beneath her fur is even more heartbreaking. Her emaciated body is now fully visible, with her bones jutting out, a painful reminder of the neglect her 1 year old self has been through. If we hadn’t gotten to BiBi when we did… she likely wouldn’t have made it through the night. That’s how close she was to the edge. It’s a thought that’s hard to shake. This miracle girl has been through the unthinkable—and now we need to make sure she never feels that kind of pain again. 🤍”


The rescue is working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to find the monster(s) responsible.

Anyone with information related to this case is urged to come forward and speak up. Please, contact Big Dog Ranch Rescue at (561) - 791 - 6465 or Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) - 493 - 8477. Thank you!

On July 7, 2023, the Hollywood Police Department arrested 27-years-old SASHA ALEXANDRA ALISA KOVAL (pictured) after she admitted that she intentionally left her dog in the car while she went to work. The furbaby inevitably passed away!


According to a press release by Hollywood Police obtained by Voice For Us, it all started on June 22, 2023, when police launched an investigation into tips about animal neglect in the 1800 block of Rodman Street. At the location, officers found a truck with a deceased brindle Pitbull laying on the floorboard. On that occasion, police did not locate any witnesses.


An investigation led to KOVAL who during questioning, “confessed to intentionally leaving her dog inside a vehicle while she went to work the night of June 18, 2023,” stated the release. When she returned home, she left the dog in the truck and she did not care to check on the Voiceless Victim.


Hollywood police said that when KOVAL woke up on the afternoon of the following day, June 19, 2023, she naturally found the furbaby lifeless.


The poor and helpless dog was confined in the vehicle with the sweltering heat of summer for roughly twenty hours until he/she finally succumbed to the extreme heat.


KOVAL was arrested and booked into the Broward County Jail but at time of writing, she does not appear in the arrest search database maintained by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.


I was however able to find her multiple Linked In accounts, and her court records which show that she is facing one third-degree felony count of aggravated animal cruelty.


Authorities did not disclose the furbaby’s name, so I took the liberty of naming him/her Cyclamen for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.


Clearly, this poor dog was treated like he/she was an unwanted and useless item.

KOVAL could have done the humane thing to take him/her to a shelter instead of taking it upon herself to end the furbaby’s life!

I hope that the judge who will preside over this case is just as merciless as she was!

A young Pitbull was found almost lifeless in Pompano Beach on Friday, July 7, 2023, with multiple stab wounds to his face, chest, and torso and numerous signs of abuse.


Jonathan Giraldo is the Good Samaritan who found the male Pitbull and together with his girlfriend, Oriana Daly, named the dog Justice because they say that’s what he deserves.

He was collapsed on the ground, unresponsive”, said Jonathan.

Justice had older wounds on his eye, and he’s also missing several teeth.


Jonathan gave Justice some water and then the couple drove the furbaby to the Snapper Creek Animal Hospital. The nonprofit iHeart Animal Rescue received a call and was asked whether they could handle Justice’s medical care and they said yes. Surgery for Justice has already cost more than $5,000.

Cindy Mucciaccio with iHeart Animal Rescue spoke to 7News and explained “They’re going to be taking out his eye, an inoculation, and his scrotum was really bloody and raw. Taking that off also, and fixing the wounds that he has.


Jonathan told NBC: “He let me put him in the car and I drove him to the vet. Even if he was an aggressive dog, I couldn’t see him like that.”

Oriana did not see a mean bone in Justice’s body and told NBC: “I don’t have the capacity to understand because he is so friendly. He can’t even defend himself.”


A spokesperson for the Broward County Sheriff’s Office tells me that “The Broward Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit is investigating this incident. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact BSO Special Victims Unit Detective Christopher Favitta at 954-321-4291 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch app. If tipsters wish to remain anonymous, they can contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.”


Whoever did this to an innocent and defenseless dog can’t possibly have a soul or a heart. I call those individuals MONSTERS and they don’t stop with animals!


If you wish and can afford to help out with Justice’s medical care, please visit iHeart Animal Rescue’s website. Thank you!
