CHAD NICHOLAS ALLEN arrested for kicking a dog and threatening to use a drill against the furbaby

- Tennessee, USA -


On Monday, August 22, 2022, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office received multiple reports about animal abuse at a home on Angel Place Lane in Corryton.


According to the incident report obtained by Voice For Us, upon arrival, responding deputies saw in the garage of the property, 31-years-old CHAD NICHOLAS ALLEN (pictured), standing over a small white dog as the furbaby appeared to be growling at ALLEN in defense.


Officers reported that they saw ALLEN “kick the dog one time then go over to the workbench inside the garage and grab an impact drill.”

As stated in the report, ALLEN “held the drill in his hand and acted like he was going to use it against the dog.” Deputies said the dog appeared fearful that he/she was going to be injured.


After running a record check deputies learned that ALLEN had two outstanding warrants for theft.

ALLEN was placed under arrest for cruelty to animals and sent to the Rodger D. Wilson Detention Facility.


An alarming part of the reports stated that: “Officers observed dried blood on the back of the [dog’s] leg and a superficial laceration on his right back leg along with a red rash under its mouth on its muzzle. Lastly, officers discovered a knot on top of the [dog’s] head. The dog appeared to be okay and did not need immediate medical attention.”


As I was reading the report, I was expecting to read that animal control was called in and took custody of the VOICELESS VICTIM. But instead, the unbelievable reality is that: “The dog remained on the scene with a responsible party.”


This “party” was not responsible enough to keep an eye on the furbaby and look what happened! Who’s to say that this “responsible party” will lose sight of the dog again and something worse may happen!?


As if this is not outrageous enough, online records show that ALLEN is out of custody!


I wonder, if the dog had been a human child, would Child Protective Services have left the child in that abusive and dangerous environment?


I have emailed the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and inquired about the dog’s breed, gender, age, and name but I was told that this information was not available.

ANGEL A. NABORS and BARRY RANDLE arrested after a 6-month-old puppy was found starving

- Tennessee, USA -


On Saturday, July 30, 2022, Memphis Police officers were dispatched to a home in the 700 block of Saint Paul Avenue and in the backyard of the property they found an extremely starved puppy in a black wire cage without food or water.


According to the affidavit, the 6-month-old furbaby was immediately taken to Memphis Animal Shelter where Veterinarian Dr. H. Coffee treated him/her for muscle wasting and skull atrophy. Dr. Coffee said the puppy had very little mass (no fat).


Three days later, Memphis Animal Services sent Memphis police documentation which identified 20-years-old ANGEL A. NABORS and 29-years-old BARRY RANDLE (both pictured), as the puppy’s guardians.


The pair were brought in for questioning on August 5, 2022, and when investigators asked them why they had not fed their puppy, NABORS said she did not have time to do so because she was working too much. RANDLE responded that he could not afford to feed the puppy.


Memphis Animal Services said the puppy was in poor serious condition and was unable to stand. The agency also said that if officers did not find him/her when they did, he/she would have died within four to five days.


Online records show that NABORS and RANDLE were booked into the Shelby County Jail on August 11, 2022, on aggravated animal cruelty charges.

They were both released after posting bond.


When I asked Memphis Police for additional information about the puppy, I was told that the name was not mentioned in the report and that “no additional information is available at this point” as this “an ongoing investigation.”


NABORS and RANDLE, if you found the time to get that puppy, it was your responsibility to find the time to feed him/her just like you two found the time to feed yourselves!

When you realized that you could not afford to feed him/her, why didn’t you reach out to a shelter for help? That would have been the humane thing to do but you two are heartless, and soulless and only capable of cruelty!

DAVID A. HENDRIX arrested after nine dogs were rescued from deplorable conditions

- Tennessee, USA -


On Wednesday, August 3, 2022, the nonprofit Animal Rescue Corps rescued nine dogs from a property on Savely Drive in Hendersonville.

The organization aptly called the rescue “Operation Out of the Dark.”


The Hendersonville Police Department said in a news release that on August 3, 2022, the investigation of property maintenance code violations resulted in the initiation of an animal cruelty investigation conducted by the department’s detectives.


Detectives contacted Veterinarian Dr. Heather Schwartz, who along with a representative of Animal Rescue Corps, was able to respond and quickly assess the need for immediate intervention and treatment.


Detectives then executed a search warrant at the property and with the assistance of Dr. Schwartz, Animal Rescue Corps, and Hendersonville Animal Control, all nine dogs were rescued from the deplorable conditions they were found in.


In a Facebook post, Animal Rescue Corps said: “This was no place for the living. The homeowners moved out years ago -- but they left their dogs behind in this house that was more like a tomb. Windows sealed up. No lights. No air conditioning. Doors wedged shut from years of waste. Buckets of food and water were pushed in through a crack in the door, but it was years since a caring human stood in this house.”


ARC also said that in some areas in the house, feces was more than a foot deep and compacted with trash and bones of several dead dogs.


Part of the Facebook post said: “We had to shovel a path for the door to open enough to bring our tactical equipment and teams inside.

Inside, the remains of dead dogs are scattered throughout the home. Bones by where the buckets were pushed in through the crack in the door speak to a desperate fight for survival. There are mothers who have given birth recently, but no surviving puppies. The surviving dogs are gentle and terrified, blinking from the sudden light from our spotlights and in desperate need of medical, physical, and emotional care.”


Animal Rescue Corps mentioned Hawkeye, one of the dogs rescued from that hellish place and said that the furbaby lost his sight “likely from years of living in the potent ammonia fumes inside.”


Many of the dogs are suffering from “open wounds, dental disease, sores, corneal scarring, emaciation, dehydration, and more”, explained ARC.


Needless to say, that Animal Rescue Corps needs our help to help these VOICELESS VICTIMS.

The nonprofit is providing urgent medical, physical, and emotional care to the innocent souls but it’s not easy. If you can wish, and can afford to donate, please click here. Thank you!


As for the criminal aspect of this heartbreaking case, the Hendersonville Police Department arrested the homeowner, identified as 57-years-old DAVID A. HENDRIX (pictured).

On Thursday, August 4, 2022, HENDRIX was booked into the Sumner County Jail on nine counts of aggravated animal cruelty. He was released after posting bond.

HENDRIX’s General Sessions Court date has been set for August 24, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.


WKRN reports that Tim Woodward, ARC’s Executive Director, said: “We are grateful that law enforcement reached out for assistance for these animals who desperately need medical care and attention. The level of suffering we witnessed here is some of the worst we’ve ever seen.”


Police said the investigation is ongoing.
