Target: Rochester Chief of Police David M. Smith
Goal: Determine who is responsible for dog tied up in freezing cold with swollen face, neck and jaw.
A dog was found tied to a fence in the freezing cold. The dog’s face, neck, and jaw were all swollen. There were also lacerations and older injuries, pointing towards additional past abuse.
“There’s some swelling, some lacerations and older injuries that we can say there’s some signs of abuse, but we still have to figure out what caused that,” said Reno DiDomenico, vice president for humane law enforcement at Lollypop Farm.
This is the second time that authorities have been called out to this particular address for a case of animal abuse. Not too long ago, Sharod Campbell, who lived at the address, was arrested and charged with animal abuse in a different case. It is unknown if Campbell even still lives at the address and whether he is responsible for the current abuse. He is still awaiting trial on the past case of abuse.
“We kind of have to backtrack now and go backward and start to get some information on who was at the location, what parties were there,” DiDomenico said. “We don’t even know if Sharod Campbell still lives there.”
While the investigation continues, the dog will be housed at a rescue shelter. However, “at this point, the animal still belongs to whoever owned the dog at 21 Iroquois. So, at this point, the dog is not up for adoption yet and what we do is we hold that until the court determines ownership and custody of that dog,” explained the rescuer.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Smith,
A dog was found tied to a fence in the freezing cold. The dog’s face, neck, and jaw were all swollen. There were also lacerations and older injuries, pointing towards additional past abuse.
This is the second time that authorities have been called out to this particular address for a case of animal abuse. Not too long ago, Sharod Campbell, who lived at the address, was arrested and charged with animal abuse in a different case. It is unknown if Campbell even still lives at the address and whether he is responsible for the current abuse. He is still awaiting trial on the past case of abuse.
While the investigation continues, the dog will be housed at a rescue shelter. However, “at this point, the animal still belongs to whoever owned the dog at 21 Iroquois. So, at this point, the dog is not up for adoption yet and what we do is we hold that until the court determines ownership and custody of that dog,” explained the rescuer.
It is imperative that the police quickly determine who lives at this address and who is responsible for this abuse. Until then, the poor innocent dog risks being returned to their abuser.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
This vile, mentally deranged severe dog abuser/attempted killer must have the death penalty implemented. A slow and agonizing extermination is required for this scumbag!
Agree!!! No excuse for animal abuse!!!
Please tell me someone took a pic and walked away! Please tell me the dog is safe and getting alot better. Has an arrest been made? ppl know where bad areas are. Was there a camara on any of the sourrounding houses??? TIME TO STEP UP AND GO THE EXTRA MILES TO STOP THESE POS SCUM. Please give us an update on how this pup is. If someone just snapped a pic and left him like that, they are just as guilty!!
Bloody Hell this poor poor Dog xx
Find the bastard evil fucking scum, gag it, beat it and leave it chained to a fence in the snow to die. Too many inbreed evil scum humans in society, need slaughtering.
In NO WAY should this Animal Torturer be given this dog back!!! It will happen again and again!!!!
Keep this Unprotected Animal at the shelter & FIND HIM A PROPER HOME!!!!! FFS Do the Right Thing!!! It’s called COMMON SENSE!!
If this dog ends up back with the abusers,,, I hope someone takes the fucked up law into their own hands and fucks up these evil bastards!
The best way is for the law to be changed to guardian instead of owner. That way when you purchase the dog you are his guardian and will agree to take care of him. Then if the dog is abused the dog could be taken from them and not returned.
Returning this dog to be abused all over again is inhumane and has to be protected by the courts
Not returned. Can you imagine the absolute terror and despair that dog would feel.
Name calling will not change the situation only action will. But I fully understand your frustrated feelings as I feel the same way
It Is a shame that they do not have a separate court system geared towards animal and child abuse. Animal abuse usually leads to abuse of humans.
This horrid monster former owner needs to be fined, jailed and never allowed to be near any animal again!!! The poor dog needs to be rehomed with a new kind owner now!
Ditto to all the previous replies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as I am concerned this is animal abuse and this individual lost any sort of ties or ownership. This person should be penalized by never owning any animal again. Can anyone tell me if there is an animal cruelty registry available?
Lilypearl
WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY EVEN CONSIDER GIVING DOG BACK?!!!!!
Signing this in June (first I’ve heard of it). Anyone know if there’s been any news? Hasthe dog been safely re-homed now?
Whoever done this is not human and is an insult to the lowest form of animal life.A CURSE ON THEM.
throw him in jail for good
This evil person needs to be locked up – soon.
I don’t know how anyone can be so damn mean but it seems like there are a lot of them out there. I just pray this poor dog can find a decent home where he is loved and cared for. The former owner is nothing more than a piece of crap!
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!
Get this loser in jail NOW, fine him, never let him have animals and make him do community service work of picking up trash like the garbage he is!!! HELP these dogs and get this creep in the system!!! Poor poor dog!! No excuse for this cruelty!!!
Please lock up SCUMBAG POS Sharod Campbell and put this lowlife away for a loooong time!
Also, why would ANY judge consider giving this poor tortured dog back to the horrific owner??? The dog suffered immensely under the care of SCUMBAG Sharod Campbell. Obviously SCUMBAG LOWLIFE Sharod did not care for any animals. Please place this dog under warm and forever loving foster care! This is a no-brainer.
The f. bastard owner should be sodomized!!
Why do the useless authorities have to be called out a SECOND time those morons should be tied up out side in Alaska
Do not let up on this investigation! This dog MUST NEVER be returned to this house. Please find him another home that will care for him as he deserves. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!!!.
THERE SHOULD BE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY ANIMAL ABUSE!! EVER!!
Chances are that the people living at this address are the abusers or know who the abusers are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Sharod Campbell gets all that he deserves and then some. This evil should not be allowed to be free. I pray whoever is responsible will get the exact same abuse …..chain them to a fence in freezing cold weather and them die.!
Well whoever lives at that address was responsible for the dog and that person should be held accountable for animal abuse. That innocent dog should not be given back to that person and put up for adoption and into a caring home. Enough with these disgusting animal abusers getting away with a slap on the wrist when animal cruelty should be a felony and let these scum pay the consequences . Laws may have been passed as a felony for some abusers but it’s left up to the judges and our wonderful judicial system to carry out the charges. So, we know that doesn’t happen very often.
Well…here’s an idea! How bout we tie this POS up n now that its getting hot, throw his ass in the desert to fry!!!
I have seen HORRIFIC abuse cases as a volunteer animal rescue/foster. More times than not, these scumbags are given a slap on the wrist only to abuse again!!!
The ONLY WAY this is EVER going to get better is to IMPLEMENT STRICTER ANIMAL ABUSE LAWS!
I have just started a COMPASSION BURNOUT break for 2 weeks after delivering my last foster to rescue for her FURRREVER home.
The horror that I have witnessed CANNOT BE UNSEEN!💔💔💔
