Investigation underway after ten Great Danes were found dead on a Miami County property

- Kansas, USA -

 

The Miami County Sheriff's Office is investigating after the discovery of ten deceased dogs on a property in Louisburg.

 

In a press release, the sheriff’s office said that on January 24, 2024, deputies responded to a property in the 25900 block of Rockville Road for a welfare check on multiple dogs on the property. Upon arrival, they could see that several dogs were sadly dead and several others were alive but malnourished.

 

As part of the investigation, a search warrant was obtained and executed. At the time the warrant was executed, no one was at the property, said the sheriff’s office.

 

Deputies found ten deceased Great Danes while nine Great Danes and one Shepherd-mix were found alive but in need of immediate medical attention.

Some of the surviving dogs are currently under care at a local veterinary while others are at a sanctuary. As stated in the press release, “They are not available to be visited or adopted until the investigation and case is complete.”

 

The sheriff’s office said detectives believe this property “is part of a larger operation that spans across the State of Kansas and the United States” and they are working “with investigators in other jurisdictions and believe at least 100 other canines are in similar condition based on the other jurisdiction investigations.”

 

Additionally, detectives have identified a possible person(s) of interest but no additional details were disclosed.

 

As for the deceased Great Danes, necropsies will be performed to determine their cause of death and the sheriff’s office will release updates as they become available.

 

The sheriff’s office encourages anyone who has information regarding this investigation to come forward and call (913) - 294 - 3232. If you wish to remain anonymous, please call (816) - 474 - TIPS (8477). Thank you!

 

I emailed the Miami County Sheriff's Office to see whether additional information was available on all of the Voiceless Victims. Part of the response I received via email from Undersheriff Kelly read: “At this time we are not releasing any photos of the animals while the investigation is ongoing. I can tell you that the 10 that were rescued are still very sick and being treated medically and under constant care and supervision. The rescue and the veterinary are doing everything they can to make sure they have a full recovery.  Unfortunately, we are in a waiting period to know if they will make a full recovery or not.”

 

Undersheriff Kelly tells me that he will likely release more information either today or tomorrow, so I will update the article accordingly.

Six Forsyth County residents arrested for adopting out puppies with parvo – Five puppies died

- Georgia, USA -

 

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office arrested six individuals after several puppies died of parvovirus after being adopted out of a home on 5675 Archer Avenue.

 

According to a press release by the sheriff’s office and obtained by Voice For Us, Forsyth County Animal Services had been dealing with the arrestees since April 2023, when a puppy was sold from that location and later died from parvo.

 

On that occasion, all six individuals “were instructed not to adopt any other animals until the residence and other animals on scene were treated for parvovirus”, stated the release.

Instead, they all chose to ignore the warning and since then, four more puppies have died.

Two had to be humanely euthanized due to parvovirus in December 2023. The other two died in January 2024, on separate occasions. One of the two was euthanized and the other one was found dead on the front porch by Animal Services on January 11, 2024. On that day Animal Services had gone to the residence and in addition to the deceased dog on the porch, they also found and removed one dog who was extremely sick.

 

Forsyth County Animal Services say that after all six of them were warned several times to stop buying and selling animals, and after nearly a year of non-compliance, and several animal deaths, law enforcement was forced to get involved.

 

On January 12, 2024, a search warrant was obtained for the residence for the removal of all animals.

 

As stated in the release: “Upon execution of the search warrant, the residence was observed in extreme filth and disarray, with trash, feces, and urine throughout the home. Dogs were in cages, 2 per cage, [without] water as the residence did not have running water. A total of 12 dogs and two bearded dragons were seized during the search warrant.”

The rescued Voiceless Victims are currently receiving medical care at the Forsyth County Pet Resource Center (formerly the Animal Shelter).

 

On January 16, 2024, detectives learned that two of the six residents had each adopted a puppy via Facebook.

The sheriff’s office said despite the multiple warnings, and knowing how dangerously contagious parvo is, all the six individuals have continued to bring animals into the home. “the residents of the household maliciously and with intent, failed to provide sanitary conditions and medical treatment to the animals living within the residence to the extent it resulted in the death of five animals”, stated the release.

 

Arrest warrants were obtained for:

 

·         22-years-old SHEYANN BELLE-EDWARDS (pictured), for Aggravated Cruelty to Animals and four counts of Cruelty to Animals.

 

·         24-years-old HANNAH RENE GLENN (pictured), for four counts of Cruelty to Animals.

 

·         34-years-old JONATHAN LEE JAGNEAUX (pictured), for Cruelty to Animals.

 

·         28-years-old LASHIA LEEANN SAMPLES (pictured), for five counts Cruelty to Animals.


·         18-years-old KIARA WALLIS (pictured), for 2 counts of Cruelty to Animals.

 

·         28-years-old EMILY GRACE WILGUS (pictured), for three counts of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals and two counts of Cruelty to Animals.

 

They were all transported to the Forsyth County Jail and according to online records, only WALLIS is no longer in custody.

 

The sheriff’s office said the two puppies adopted over the weekend along with a cat were seized by animal control.

 

Forsyth County Community & Animal Safety Director Jerry Ramos said in a statement: “The Animal Services team worked quickly to respond to the alleged case and partnered with the  Sheriff's Office for the investigation as quickly as possible once the severity of the situation was apparent. We feel that the reason we were able to rescue as many animals as we did was because of the great partnership between Animal Services, the Pet Resource Center and the Sheriff’s Office.”
