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.

Woman Drowns Friends’ 6 Month Old Puppy

mccollough_airThis woman, Rachel Wilson-McCollough, visits with her friends at a nice, outdoorsy place near the water and decides to drown their puppy.

Oh she is a real piece of work.  I have a lot of words to describe this uberwitch, but prudence demands I keep them to myself.

Rachel Wilson-McCollough of Medford, Oregon has been arrested and charged with aggravated animal abuse.  Witnesses say she held a 6-month-old puppy under water in the Chetco River drowning it.  Then pinned the puppy under water with rocks.  The puppy didn’t belong to her.  It belonged to her friends.

A lot of these witnesses called the police.  But when police got there she was gone.  Witnesses gave the dead puppy to the police officer, who turned it over to its owners.

The police spent more than a week trying to locate her.  She was arrested on August 20th and jailed.

Bail was originally set at $25,000, but had been reduced to $7,500. The district attorney’s office filed charges of animal abuse.  Not the aggravated animal abuse she was originally booked for. The charges could have been reduced because the sheriff’s office had not finished its investigation.  But the charges can be upgraded once the final report is submitted.  The sheriff’s office had no explanation on why bail was reduced.  They don’t seem real pleased with that.

And nobody has any idea what motivated Rachel Wilson-McCollough to do this.

This is disgusting.  If she’s going to do that to a friends pet, what the hell is she capable of with animals in her own home.  I hope she has no pets or children.   She drowns her friends puppy, AND making sure she did the job right, she weighs the poor thing down underwater with rocks.  Not only does this woman seem mentally unstable, she’s a complete waste of oxygen.  Time to clear the air.

    Unbelievable. I hope they go with the original charges. Bail should have stayed at the 25,000. She gave no mercy to the puppy she deserves none herself.

    And a question, where were the owners? I’m guessing that maybe she offered to take the dog for a walk or something and that is why they weren’t there to save it. So many questions and no answers.

  • Dottie

    Sorry POS!!!COMPLETE WASTE OF OXYGEN!!!It is time to clear the air..She should do jail time and never have kids or animals!!!

  • Sissy

    Sick,vile,evil piece of crap!!

  • dru

    WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO????? her bail was reduced???? this waste of space n energy is SO LUCKY that she doesn’t know me. i’m so very sorry, little puppy, for the fear u went thru. bless u, little 1……

  • Julie

    wow, yet another person who needs some serious mental help! Poor puppy!!

  • excalibur2009

    Yeh if I were her friend I’ld go pay that Bitch a visit and they could prosecute what was left of her sorry POS a**. And I do mean what was left of it. I can not for the life of me understand how officials, having all the information that we have now a days, How can they continue to give this type if low life scum sucking POS slap on the risk. Not only have they cruelly harmed a living creature that only wants to love and protect its people but that this type of scum will have little to no qualms at harming a baby. You know anything that can’t possibly fight back,like us for instance. I say drown the Bitch and put her out of her misery. There would be nothing lost. After all they wouldn’t think twice about putting down a rabid dog, now would they – so what else do we have here folks?

  • In the past several weeks it seems that humans, and I use the term loosely, have lost what is left of their worthless minds and have tortured, abused, mistreated and killed the four leggeds at an alarming pace. This includes not only dogs, but cats and other wildlife as well. We are/were to be the care takers of these animals not their life takers. Those who have so little regard for creatures lesser than they think they themselves are, are a sorry excuse for all those who take benefit of knowing these animals for unconditional love and cherish the companionship that these animals provide.

    This sorry excuse for a waste of human flesh(read someone else’s use of this term and it fits)should have the same treatment done to her. In Indian country, we are all equals to the other lives created on this planet and no one is above another, we are the same, so when this person decided to kill this puppy, it is the same as killing a small child in the eyes of my people. Just because it was a dog that was killed should not make it any lesser a crime than if it was a baby. And she did this to her friend? What would she do to a total strangers pets or children? By reducing her bail,this may justify it in her mind, that it is okay to commit this type of crime. Most serial killers started out killing small animals, she may just be getting started in a life of killing more helpless animals and then move on to larger game.

    I worked as a prison guard in Michigan and if the prisons are anything like where I worked, it is far TOO good for her. The inmates lived life like they were in a country club, let’s hope her incarceration resembles something more like the British penal colonies of history past. She deserves no less.

  • Wow, Andrea was right. She is a piece of work.

    *shakes head* 6 months old. Poor baby :( I feel for her owners.

  • MOEGO1

    Okay people, time to write Oregon the town of Medford and flood them with letters. If we can wake some people up to the fact that all of us animal lovers are fed up, maybe someone will take notice. A puppy no less and weighing it down. Maybe she should be weighed down under water and see how long she last.

  • Marci

    It’s just disturbing to think that the only reason this lady drown that poor puppy is because she WANTED to see him suffer. She wanted to be cruel. Everyone, we are all so very blessed that we are compassionate and could never comprehend what it would be like to want to be cruel. This woman…is a sado-masochist, plain and simple. She needs some serious mental help and a long stint under water.

  • Yvonne

    What a Bitch!!! Where were the friends? Why didn’t anyone stop her?

  • Alexandra

    I work in the Security field and I want the attention of all law enforcement here, including JUDGES!! Throw the book at this PSYCHOTIC BITCH!! A LONG JAIL SENTENCE PLEASE, Because we all know, she will be a repeat offender-her photo above doesn’t even show remorse!! And another thing, the best punishment to pychos and sadists, is give them a taste of their own medicine to show them what the animal went through….Personally- with a Court approval, I would dunk her head, 6 minutes for the FULL EFFECT TO HIT HOME!! then toss her sorry ass,into a jail-cell for lets say, 10 years, extreme measures, yes, but a life is a life, and we NEED to send a STRONG MESSAGE OUT THERE!!
