My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Drug Raid Finds Dead and Starved Dogs – VIDEO

Skeleton of dog foundAfter a Buna, TX, woman delivered crystal meth to some undercover police officers, Jasper County officials went to search her home for drugs but they found much more than they anticipated.  Four chained dogs, starved and emaciated, no evidence of food or water and that was bad enough but what they found in the back yard defied explanation.  Four more dogs, dead, decomposed, skeletonized, still with collars around their necks attached to chains.

Starved dog found during drug raid“Well, this is about the cruelest thing you can do,” Sheriff Newman said. “I mean, these dogs were chained, didn’t have a chance to live. They were chained and starved and the carcasses were there with the collar still on them. I don’t know of anything worse that a human could do to an animal.”

There’s no clue when the dogs were last fed. The surviving dogs were not much more than skin covered skeletons. They were removed from the property and transferred to the Houston SPCA.

A 55-year-old man is facing animal cruelty charges while his girlfriend is facing drug charges. Both have been arrested. No names were given.

Y’know, I’ve pretty much gotten to a point that I don’t give a damn what people do to themselves but when what they do to themselves  causes suffering and torture to innocents, they need to pay a stiff price!  Problem is, they seldom ever do. Four dogs dead, four more starved, all suffered cruelly and needlessly at the hands of trash.  If not for the fact that the law was trying to crack down on drugs there would have been 8 dead dogs rather than just four, only timely luck saved their lives but what kind of a furture do they have?  Will they be nursed back to health and given a chance to find a safe and loving home or will they turn into more statistics, killed because no one cares enough, no one wants them?  Heartbreaking to contemplate.

And what about the trash that did this?  A slap on the wrist, as usual?

  • Traced down the county Buna is located in. Found the judge that issued the search warrant. He stated that if it came into his court for the animal abuse he intends to throw the book at him.

  • Hi Group I did not even watch the video no need the one picture will last me a life time and why no names if I lived around there I would want to know who did this with the drugs these people are useing it is hard to say just what they could do I seen what the drugs most likely did to the poor dogs in the back yard and I don,t like it one bit and I think when there is animal cruelty this bad their should be no bond or at least a very high bond I think the judge shold be the voice of the animals …..jeffrey

    Good work, Karen. We have to let our voices be heard for those who cannot speak, or escape their cruel owners.

    I AM OUTRAGED SO MEAN & CRUEL & SUCH SICK MINDED UNHUMEN OMG WHAT DO I CALL THEM ILL BE PRAYING 4 THIS FUR BABIES THAT SURVIVED

  • A.W.S.

    Words fail me.This is the most horrible thing I have ever seen.I just hope for the 4 surviving babies,they will be fed,nursed back to health,and find loving parents who will love and care and cherish them.They deserve that.And the ones who abused them,how would they like it if they were chained in a back yard with no water or food.This is a sad day for dogs folks,we need to crack down on these people who DON’T deserve to be a pet parent.

  • The law should be for animals as it is humans. What makes humans above animals! Both should be banged up for murder.
    Wish the police had gone her house earlier there maybe 8 canines now. Hope the 4 get better and housed with loving guardians.
    BRING IN STRICT ANIMALS LAWS

    Karen, please let me know who I can write and email a letter to or maybe you have a link that has the info. So horribly cruel that these dogs lived and died with such suffering.

  • Jessie

    Oh my…oh my, I am so saddened for these poor, trusting fur baby’s. I pray that God will help St.Christopher save these remaining three and they live out a beautiful life filled with love. Look at this baby’s eye’s!! Completely given up, scared, terribly sad and in pain. Damn I despise these two “ROACHES” that did this…damn!

  • Jessie

    Sorry, I mean four fur baby’s, not three…bless each and every one of them. May they survive and flourish in a beautiful life.

    CANT BELIVE IT
    THERE REALLY IS SOME SICK PPL OUT THERE!
    THERE REALLY IS!
    WE NEED TO STOP THIS
    THIS NEED TO BE STOPPED NOW!

    Both people found in the home should receive the maximum sentences alone on the animal cruelty charges. Additional drug charges should be added, hopefully keeping both people in jail for a long time.

    I do hope the remaining four dogs will be given a chance. Four years ago I found a skeletal cat with most of her fur missing suffering from frostbite and half frozen. She looked a mess, but obviously wanted to live. I took her home and she is beautiful with chocolate brown fur and piercing green eyes. She mostly needed good nutrition and warmth. I am certain a shelter would have euthanzied her on the spot. But now she visits nursing homes and loves to sit on any elderly person’s lap giving them much comfort. Caring people will take the dogs.

    Make an example out of the two cruel people, publicize their full names, give them a harsh sentence of felony charges, let the public know, “abuse an animal go to jail!”
