ROBERT MCGREGOR SWINDOLL let two dogs starve to death and a third one was found barely alive

- Florida, USA -


On the morning of Tuesday, April 11, 2023, a citizen called the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Enforcement Team to report some dogs in distress at a house on 3762 Brockington Circle in Cocoa.


Officer Maldonado and Officer Kaufman responded to the scene to investigate. They were unable to make contact with anybody at the residence, but the reporting party allowed them into their property from which they could see the dogs. Officers saw two deceased dogs, who were tied up and extremely thin. A third dog tethered in the same yard was barely alive. Officers were able to identify him as Ace through a database maintained by Shelter Buddy.

Animal Cruelty Investigators were immediately called in.


A warrant was obtained for the arrest of 38-years-old ROBERT MCGREGOR SWINDOLL (pictured).


Brevard County Sheriff Ivey said the dogs were not SWINDOLL’s and someone who was not allowed on the property anymore was taking dog food over. Despite that, SWINDOLL allowed two dogs to starve to death.


An affidavit obtained through public records identifies the dogs’ guardian as Lashawnda Spencer who passed away in December 2022. The affidavit goes on to identify Levetirus Cole as the person who was bringing food to the dogs and he was in a relationship with Ms. Spencer when she was alive.


SWINDOLL was booked into the Brevard County Jail on three felony counts of animal cruelty and three misdemeanor counts of confinement without food and water.

SWINDOLL is being held on a $7,500 bond.

According to court records, SWINDOLL’s next court appearance is set for May 11, 2023, at 8:30 a.m.


As Sheriff Ivey said, while in jail, SWINDOLL will be fed, will be given water, and will be taken care of. By law, SWINDOLL cannot be treated the way he treated those Voiceless Victims.

REWARD offered after abused young dog dropped off at Heal Animal Rescue dies

Updated: Feb 24, 2023

- Pennsylvania, USA -


~ Update: February 24, 2023


Heal Animal Rescue announced that they “have received a few calls from people wanting to increase our reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who did this to sweet little John. “ The reward is now $1,000.

If you have any information, please, do the right thing and speak up!

Please call the PA State Police Greensburg Barracks at (724) - 832 - 3288. Thank you!




~ Original story:


Heal Animal Rescue, a nonprofit organization in Westmoreland County, said that on February 21, 2023, someone dropped off a dog, less than 1 year old, whom they named John.

John was emaciated and burned on multiple parts of his body.


In an update announcing that John had passed away, Heal Animal Rescue said: “At such a young age, John suffered neglect, starvation, skin burns but most of all advanced stage of Distemper. Whoever did this knew something was wrong and let it go to the point of severe dehydration, anemia, severe neurological deficiencies, paralysis and finally multiple seizures. All of this could have been avoided with a vaccine.”


Heal Animal Rescue said they are not going to let John die in vain and are offering a $500 reward in exchange for information that will lead to whoever is responsible for John’s senseless abuse.


An emotional Mary Withrow of Heal Animal Rescue told KDKA: “This has to stop. We can't let some coward do this to an innocent dog.”


Heal Animal Rescue said anyone who has information about this case is asked to contact the Greensburg Barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police. Thank you!

RAAHKEEM ORLANDO YOUNG arrested after three puppies and an adult dog were found dead in a dumpster

- South Carolina, USA -


Following an investigation into four deceased Pitbulls who were found in a dumpster, between November 15 and December 26, 2022, the Myrtle Beach Police Department has charged 33-years-old RAAHKEEM ORLANDO YOUNG (pictured) with felony animal cruelty and failure to properly bury animals.


Police said in a news release that on November 15, 2022, Animal Control officers responded to 2005 Greens Boulevard “after a person found three deceased Pitbulls in a dumpster inside a plastic tub covered in feces and urine. The adult female dog was starved and had a broken foot. The two six to eight-week-old puppies were drowned.”


On December 26, 2022, Animal Control officers responded to the same location after a ten to twelve-week-old Pitbull puppy was found in a plastic tub discarded next to the same dumpster where the four Pitbulls had been found in November.

“Officers learned the puppy died of illness and drowning,” said police.


Officers found a receipt that had been discarded with the puppy which made possible the connection with YOUNG. From an investigation it emerged that YOUNG “was responsible for animals,” stated the release.

The link to YOUNG was also supported by footage from cameras from the store and the city traffic and street cameras.


YOUNG, of Myrtle Beach, was taken into custody on Saturday, January 7, 2023, and released on a PR bond later that day. The filthy murderer is charged with four counts of felony animal cruelty and four counts of failure to properly bury animals.


I had emailed the Myrtle Beach Police Department to inquire about the VOICELESS VICTIMS and I was made aware of a post published by the Grand Strand Humane Society.


The post reads:

“There are some cases that will haunt our team forever. This is one of those cases.

We would all like to tuck it away in a corner of our minds... bury it in the depths of our hearts.. so that we wouldn't have to continue to feel the pain that we felt looking at these innocent creatures who had been so callously and needlessly tortured.

But, we will force ourselves to talk about the horror that these beautiful dogs endured. Our community will not stop until justice is served. We may not have been able to save these precious lives, but perhaps we can help prevent future suffering.

We are unbelievably proud and grateful to have such dedicated police officers here in Myrtle Beach. They truly are second to none. The entire department rallied around our animal control officer in the investigation of this tragedy. The safety of all city residents (both two legged and four legged) is of the utmost importance to these brave men and women and we are reminded, yet again, of how lucky we are to call this city home.

Our team has named these angels. Each of their names means love. Their deaths will fuel our passion to save those that cannot save themselves. We will carry them with us always.
