Goal: Urge strict legal action against those responsible for Shelly’s alleged abuse and ensure comprehensive enforcement of animal cruelty laws.
In Cobb County, Georgia, a horrific case of alleged animal abuse has come to light. A two-year-old dog named Shelly was reportedly found near death in a dumpster at an apartment complex.

Ahhhh yes … here we are again! Perps almost killing a dog. I think they will find out who but then what? Lawyers feel because the dog lived the case won’t hold together. But at the very least these perps need to pay full medical charges, foster home charges, and rehoming fees. A 2 year old dog is not sick except for them. They are accountable and need to be charged. I feel they need to serve time in prison. You may feel that’s overkill. Have them pay full medical expenses and have a legal document determining they are never to work with, own, or be near any animals for the rest of their sick lives. These are probably teens yet this needs to be on their record for all to see.
