This Woman Was Caught Red-Handed While Dumping Her 4 Dogs, And Got What She Deserved
It’s heartbreaking to find abandoned animals left to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, there are many irresponsible people who throw their pets away, and some don’t even bother to take them to a pet shelter.
A good Samaritan from San Antonio, Texas, tried to intervene in just an animal abuse situation. When she saw a woman throwing her four family dogs out of the car in a vacated lot, she confronted the offender. In the recording she took, we can hear her clearly stating the consequences that may follow if the woman did indeed decide to carry on being abusive to animals.
The kind Samaritan tried desperately to reason with the dog-abandoner, but even after being given directions to animal rescue services the heartless woman proceeded to dump her family pets and drive away in the most infuriating manner. One of her passengers even had the gall to flip the bird to the camera.
After authorities were informed, three of the dogs were found and delivered to a dog shelter. But the 4th dog was missing. Luckily, however, the callous ex-owner of these pets had a change of heart and helped to locate the last dog. She turned herself in after delivering the last dog to Animal care services. According to Texas law, an individual convicted of abandoning an animal may be sentenced to up to a year in county jail, and a fine of up to $4,000.
Let’s hope that this whole sorry episode will teach her, and other people, to take responsibility for their pets.

Share on FacebookThere was no change of any sort of fckng heart, the $4000 ticking bomb made her change her mind. Else her miserable and selfish inhuman as*hole self was happy to get rid of those poor souls without slightest of guilt trip. I so wish her mom/dad should have abandoned her at some stage of her life.
agreed, people like this should be banned from ever owning a pet. if you can no longer care for them then just please give them up safely.
Load More Replies...The poor dogs, they looked so scared as she was kicking them out of the car and their faces look so sad in their mugshots.... Fingers crossed they find good homes or at least good care in the shelter :(
And fingers crossed that the fourth dog is found! I so worry about what happens to strays, with dog fighting such a big thing in Texas. People are so heartless and greedy
Load More Replies...Hopefully she won’t just get to apologize and everything is all better. And should still be persecuted. B***h.
Here is a link to an updated article. She actually brought the 4th dog in to authorities and turned herself in as well. She is currently facing charges. Clearly she showed up with the 4th dog to look less like the dirtbag that she is.......http://klaq.com/san-antonio-woman-turns-herself-in-after-viral-dog-dumping-video/

the only time it should be acceptable to intentionally set a pet dog "free" is in the case of a dire emergency (say - hurricane & evacuation) where you cannot take it with you and it would have a better chance fending for itself than locked/chained in an abandoned property
Load More Replies...I unfortunately understand them all too well. They're selfish. If it inconveniences them, it's gone, and they don't care how. Around here, the SPCA wants a surrender fee, which means we get a lot of animals just tied to their door k**b at night. Then the local vandals get them, with pitiful results.

I wish our taxes could pay for better animal control and education to minimize stuff like this happening. All pets should be licensed and registered and all pets should be adopted (or bought, if you must) from places that are required to educate people on their responsibility and run a background check. I know it's a tall order and it won't eliminate these problems but we have to start somewhere.
She had a change of heart my a*s. She saw the video clip on facebook, and got worried. She should get the maximum. 1 year for each dog, and 4,000 for each dog.
B***h deserves to spend a year in jail for each dog and a 4,000 fine for each dog she dumped.
I want to cry. Due to my nasty family spreading false malicious lies about me, humans are so cruel to me. Yet all my pets have been unwanted/abused. I’m a nice person. They don’t use social media or read the bull s**t news. They love me because I have love for them. Due to my family, I doubt I will ever have children, so I will always have room for ‘unwanted’ pets. Who I treat like my children.
my friend jack said that he had a dog that his father was allergic to, so they abandoned him in the park. i called the police and they got what they deserved. he has no right to do this, even though he insisted that "someone must have found him". that is not a guarantee. don't be like my former friend. send them somewhere where they will be safe and cared for.
I grew up on a farm, our house was close to my uncles auto repair and on a oft travelled road. People dumped animals on our property almost EVERY DAY! About 10 years after my husband and I married, we bought a farm. People have NOT changed! They regularly drop animals off on our property. It's despicable. I knew I couldnt stop people from being a******s, so, I got approved by the Humane Society to be a Safe haven farm. They came and inspected my farm, gave me a list of changes I needed to make and rules to adhere to. Then, I could at least take care of the animals with the H.S. assistance. They helped with vetting, also when it was time to rehome an animal, I could count on them to do a proper inspection of adopting family.
Hmm lets see, i cant take care of ONE dog so ill get FOUR. IM TIRED OF THEM, JUST DUMP THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Good job lady.
I hope she got known in her neighbourhood thanks to this and her windows are full of rotten food now! I swear If I could get my hands on her, she'd regret it deeply. F*** b***!!!!!!!
There was a part of me that watched the car back up and hoped it would get rammed by a passing semi or something--but then I thought, "Why would I wish such trouble on the semi and its driver?"
Sadly I don't think this lady got punished at all because of her so called "change of heart". She probably figured the good Samaritan got her license plates and would report her. She should still have to pay the fine and jail time because if that lady wasn't there confronting them, they would not have had a change of heart. Pathetic.
This is unbelievable! If she doesn't like dogs, why did she get four in the first place?? This is infuriating! It's my life-long dream to have a dog, and I can't even have one (got 2 rescue cats, small apartment), but a scumbag like her gets to have four?! and throws them away??!!
They should fine the idiot in the back seat hat flipped the bird too!!!
Make her an example and give her the maximum allowed by law! Then increase the penalties by changing the law! People like this are disgusting human beings who have just proven capable of doing something similar, to kids or elderly if they could get away with it! Sick minded.
When I lived in a rural area, people dumped off cats and they often succumbed to a rancher's poison (not legal). I'm glad this shelter doesn't charge to surrender animals. It seems like the person in the driver's seat is yelling out directions to the young woman. Maybe she's a teenage daughter or has an overbearing partner.Taking ones pets away is a common punishment in domestic abuse.We don't really know who is orchestrating this.
I'm disgusted even more by the thought that this could be "punishment".
Load More Replies...Adding to the problem are people that refuse to spay or neuter their pets and people who breed animals and contribute to the problem by buying animals rather than adopting. Be a part of the solution rather than adding to the problem. If you have the chance and don't take it you're not a true animal lover. DON'T breed or buy animals and spay or neuter.
Give her a yr in jail plus the fine ! She is only sorry because she was caught !!!! Disgusting!!!
This is one of many stories we hear about, just not the worst. I would like to know who the heartless idiot in the back seat was, hope not her kid, who has the same attitude. That woman should be made to see a shrink, then pay the top level of the fine plus jail time, also time to work at an animal shelter, but only the cleaning JOB !!!
I was the jail time and fine that made her change her mind. These f*****g bitches dont have a heart.
Texas has a probelm of people just letting pets go rather than surrendering them to a shelter.
they have a big problem with people surrendering them to shelters too :(
Load More Replies...A real class act in every way (sarcasm alert) I don't care if this dirtbag did find the 4th dog and turn herself in. She should be fined, and whatever else they can throw at this POS. And she should never get near another animal again. If there weren't any witnesses, she would never feel remorse - for getting caught. People who dump cats and dogs are lower then whale s#!t.
Amen sister, let em burn, let em slowly burn 🔥.
Load More Replies...There was NO punishment to her actions. The article said according to TX law and offence of this nature COULD BE PUNISHABLE BY A YEAR OF JAIL TIME AND $4000 FINE. It did not say she was. And she did not have a change of heart, She and her accomplice got scared when the good samaritan filmed them doing this.
This woman is a POS! I only hope her family does the same to her ! What a freaking scumbag! No wonder I prefer the company of animals over people anyday
Looking at the car, I doubt these people would have $4k to pay a fine and a fine is a good way to further spiral people like this into debt from which they can't recover. Why not make them pay in a different way, ie a community corrections order to work in an animal rescue shelter, that way they can be educated at the same time.
I also agree that fines are not always the answer - Sometimes people just do not have the money - other times people may have plenty and the fine means nothing. A hefty Community Service Order would work better in both of those situations
Load More Replies...I truly hope she got hit with 4 fines for abandonment, and a lifetime ban on owning animals!
This sick B***H needs to be driven about 1200 miles away from where she lives, preferably in a very very hot climate, with NO FOOD, WATER, PHONE, MONEY, CLOTHES etc. for a few weeks. Then if she makes it through THAT, the jail/fine sentence kicks in!
This is a very sad story. They deserve lifetime prison. Very happy they were caught... and that these poor babies had a good chance from that concerned Samaritan called 311. Trusting they are in good families now...
In this case as the b***h abandoned 4 animals, hopefully have to stay 4 years in prison and pay a fine of US $16000
People like this don't even deserve the loyalty that comes with have a furry best friend!!!
So did they get fined and thrown in county?? I sure as f**k hope so!!
I treat my dog like hes my brother and even better i dont have any brother or sister so my dog is the best i have if i would choose my dog or mom i would my dog.. this is shameful the world has changes alot this women is happy she doesn't live in a contry i am in control of she would get the most painful yet slow death but im a kid and cant do s#it about it #DOGSFOREVER
My beautiful girl, Barky McWoofwoof was dumped before I adopted her 8 years ago. She came to me toilet trained so it was obvious that she'd had an owner in the past as the dog's home had only had her less than a week. She is the sweetest animal. I have mental health problems and physical disabilities and she keeps me company and lies in bed with me when I'm bedbound. She seems to know exactly when I need cuddles and she could not be more sweet with my son. She's never damaged any property and we've even managed to teach her some tricks, including putting her "babies" back in her toy box! Dogs aren't rubbish, it's not like fly tipping a washing machine. They are loving, intelligent creatures and all they want to do is please you and make you happy. Absolutely breaks my heart.
Maximum fine and sentence for each, this POS excuse of a "woman" and her accomplice. Neither deserves to be let off the hook. Neither deserves to ever have another animal OR a child. These two low-life pieces of scum make my blood boil. I hate them.
Why pretend to be a pet lover or Pet owner when you got no heart in You...
Wow it's true, there are still people that have no, I'm about to say some stupid s**t that will make me look like an a*****e, filter.
Load More Replies...Should be fined £4000 and inprisoned 1 year per dog. Disgusting human being
Dogs give you this unconditional love, this complete trust. I'll never ever understand what kind of black heart it takes to torture or abandon your own dogs. (But then people even do this to their own small children, so I really shouldn't be surprised)
Yeah, she "had a change of heart" only after the authorities where involved. Affrid she would get arrested if she didn't help. I would also like a written applogy from the scum that flipped her off. Callus trash. Dogs are better off without them.
What happened to her!?!? NOTHING! I don’t see anywhere in the article that she ever got reprimanded. Regardless of her “change of heart” she carried out the abandonment- get prosecuted damnit!!!! This is beyond words. My emotions are running too high!
Makes our problems seem small. The only one that can abandon you is yourself. Those poor pups. I'm cutting onions and looking at my little doggie. She would never abandon me...and likewise. Great job Good Samaritan.
Thank God for this Good Samaritan. May that abomination parading as a woman be abandoned herself someday. I agree, she was not remorseful, just scared at being caught. Jeez, sometimes you want to retire from the human race. I wish monsters like this had to wear labels so you could keep your kids away from them.
This happens all the time in Texas. My grandfather lived out near Orange, and would constantly see people dump and run. He started shooting at the cars going for tires. Those dogs that he could catch, he'd rescue and take them either to shelters or in. Problem is that many see animals as property not as companions. You got to catch them to charge them.
Animal cruelty and animal abandonment laws need to be MUCH harsher. She should be prosecuted. Just because she came back to help find the 4th dog doesn't exonerate her from committing the original crime in the first place. She needs to be punished for the crime she committed,especially since there is this video proof.
Hate the act not the person. You all have no idea what was going on in this person's head. Maybe she had just been beaten and terrified that morning and was fleeing, the best way she knew how from " domestic" violence. ... Anything could have been going on. It is far to easy to jump on the hate wagon. ... please increasing the hate messages is not going to help. I can not think of anyone who ever changed their opinion because a stranger insulted them.
It’s sad this happened but poverty drives people to extremes like this.
I didn't realize being poor was an excuse to treat animals badly. Couldn't be that poor they were DRIVING A CAR.
Load More Replies...And you know what, some spineless, jellyfish of a judge will give her 20 lashes with a wet noodle, no fine, no jail time, NOTHING. These people MUST learn how horrible an is that they're doing. It's really NO different than dumping your children out there to fend. People think, oh they're animals, they'll make out. But these are PETS. They have no wilderness or survival skills. They'll have to learn the hard way just like a child would learn. Many times they WON'T survive. WHY do people do this? Don't they know that's what shelters are for? Did it NEVER occur to this jackass to call friends to see if they would like a nice dog? WHY can't we get the seriousness of this through to people?
I'm glad she had a change of heart, I hope she gets the maximum sentence. She is not a kind lady and she and the person driving the car need to go straight to H**l
I love the one with the little mouse inside the flower, I am without a pet right now, because my kitty died a couple of years ago, so I get thrilled when I see pictures like this. This mouse is so cute, me wants one!
I completely understand that sometimes a pet owner can no longer take care of the pets that they have, however, there's absolutely no excuse for the owners to dump the pets out in the street. If they didn't know how to not be an owner anymore they could have researched online. It really is such a shame that they were that heartless, they dumped the dogs and then flipped off the woman recording. If they had done the right thing they wouldn't have had such a negative attitude. I hope somewhere down the line they learn from such a mistake.... and also hope they learn to never own a pet again.
This is so s**t, how people can do this? But can we please recognise that there were 3 people in this car and not just this woman?! Those arsehole driver and the idiot in the back will hopefully be found as well and fined!
This really "pisses" me off! I bet nothing was done to the owners. THAT PISSES ME OFF! The damned government does NOT care! Nobody pushes for protection of the poor animals! I am SICK of humans that do this s**t!
That woman and her partner should be thrown in jail anyway. As someone mentioned, the only reason she came back was that the camera filmed her license plate. How odious. What trash. How inhuman some "humans" can be. Throw the book at her and keep her away from animals the rest of her life. Better still, throw her in the middle of nowhere with, as someone else stated, no food or water. See how she likes it. It's what she deserves, and more.
This no good sub human pos shoudol be shot not jailed or paying a fine. Fine of 4K make it 25K per dog and 5 yrs for each animal. No more deals with abusers, long jail hefty fines or shoot them.
Instead of us getting dog licences, They should be a licences for People to be aloud to have pets!
San Antonio ought to clean up all that trash on the dead end street now that it's gotten so much attention. These people's mentality must have been "look, this is a good dumping off place..." Is it possible to not understand the concept of a dog shelter? They say people who are unkind to animals are most likely to treat children the same way. At least they look well fed. How many people were part of this dog dump? Are they not party to the crime?
Years ago a co-worker moved out of town and a fella told me he had left his 4 month old puppy tied in the back yard . I went and retrieved her , She is now 18 years old .
Thank you for saving a dog! That’s awesome of you.
Load More Replies...I have too much difficulty seeing stories like this - especially without a very good ending. I say to anyone considering adopting an animal: Do you have 15+ years where you are SURE you can take care of it? Small dog or cat is likely more years. If you can't say yes, get a fish or stuffed animal. This isn't a 3-year thing. This is the lifetime of the animal. And if something happens where you cannot take care of the animal. for God Sakes, take it to a shelter where it has a chance!!! Dumping it somewhere makes you a scumbag coward piece of sh*t.
The couple should have been punished by law, not let off the hook. The accompanying publicity would have been far greater than from any online post because newspapers and TV stations eat this stuff up. Listen up, everyone: the next time you have an opportunity to do good, take a few moments to consider how you can do the MOST good. Animal abandonment is a real and growing problem, and San Antonio's response will do little or nothing about it.,
I think she's awful, but so are shelters that kill or sell to labs most of the dogs and cats who come into their 'care'.
charge her separately for each dog and she can go to jail for 4 years and/or pay $16000 fine plus court fees
hmmm... year in jail and $4k fine or maybe admit I was wrong.... she's quite the hero.... or maybe not...
I posted my thoughts earlier but had to put my email in. So I'm not going to do it again. She'll get what coming to her
I hope this B***h gets a year in jail for each precious little dog she dumped+ a fine for each of the little babies she so cold heartedly dumped.
People? They cannot be called people, and calling them animals iinsults animals. Monsters. If you cannot take care of your pet go to a shelter, don't make things worse!!
People make me sick, there are SO MANY cruelty free ways to find homes for pets that you can no longer care for and there is ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME in finding them a home. I personally had a red tailed boa, she was my whole world. I was a drug addict and I could no longer take care of her, so I did the research and found someone that was not only educated in raising large snakes, but would be willing to keep in touch with me and let me know if she was unable to take care of her, that way it wasn't on her shoulders to find housing for a pet who she was unable to take care of. Luckily, that was never an issue and I know that my snake is happy with a caring individual,
i would say what the lady did, but then also give her a knuckle sandwich, and if she still left, i would go over and cuddle with the dogs. I LOVE ANIMALS SOOO MUCH! (i'm pretty sure i like the animals the best in all of my province)
Good for that woman who not only called, but tried to intervene from the get-go (which had to be uncomfortable). What's with all the trash? Looks like some poor Eastern European country.
I think some of you may have missed that so far, this ugly, overweight brute of a sub-human has not been punished. She should be tied to a post and horsewhipped - but unfortunately neither the whipping or the legal consequences will likely happen. She should at least have a permanent tattoo deeply inscribed on her forehead to identify her - something like "I am sub-human" or a similar warning. Everyone in that car involved should be liable and subject to the stated law.
Thank God for the modern technology ,at least you can prove and show the reality , with words nobody would care or believe .So glad they are safe .A monster not a woman, if she got children i feel sorry for them.
She probably does have a lot of children, all of them taking advantage of every possible "free" program, whether they need it or not. They probably spend a lot of time in the principal's office in their respective schools, and of course nothing is ever their fault.
Load More Replies...Was kinda hoping that while driving off, they would lose control over the car and crash into the nearest tree... And that's definitely not a change of heart, probably saw what punishment she can get and hoping to get out of it. Jail them and ban them from ever owning a pet ever again.
I was so upset watching this disgusting video I ran in to our living roon to share with my wife what I had just seen. She was sitting on our loveseat with Daisy Mae on her lap and Sugar Pie on the seat next to her. They are rescues that someone dumped at Espada park in San Antonio. We work hard so that our dogs can have nice things. We love them. They are our children and we are gratefull for our little family to be together.
I cant even read this.. someone tell me that she took the dogs in. Someone telling the dogs are okay please
okay so as of late two of them were adopted and the other two have not been yet.
Load More Replies...and this happens Every...damn... day. And worse - put into dumpsters, buried alive, left to starve chained outside. People are the worst breed.
I just want to show this kind of person a Pomeranian Dog and ask if they could sleep at night knowing you dumped it in the middle of nowhere.
Wow, what a nasty piece of garbage. She looks like a piece of scum and I’m so happy that, at the very least, she can be excoriated on the internet. Clearly she deserves worse but she does get to go back to her trash life which is probably a nice enough punishment. Can you even imagine being that much a of scum low life...imagine how gross her day to day life must be if she’s shameless enough to heartlessly shove dogs out of her car in broad daylight and on camera...
My friend pointed out that the person driving may have been an abusive person. I know it's just speculation but he should be punished, too. She may have been afraid for their lives if he was threatening her. I hope that she opens up to the authorities if it is an abusive situation.
Poor angels :( this makes me so sad that people could do this. I have dogs of my own and a cat and I hate just leaving for a day to go to work with them at home. I miss them. And when I get home the greeting I get makes me feel so good. I love my dogs and cat. I love all animals. Karma will come to her with the fine and whatever happens in the future same with those other people.
I really wish we had a database that this c*nt could be put in so she can never adopt or "purchase" another animal anywhere. Texas needs to start upping the penalties and jail time for these scumbags. Make examples out of them so others might think twice. This behavior is rampant here in south Texas.
Reading comprehension. I feel it's missing here. The "change of heart" now equals minimum cooperaion with the shelter people *while getting rid of your dog* ? Just listen to this, this glorious woman helped them locate the dog she threw out so it can continue being abandoned in a shelter and she doesn't have to pay 4k$ for that. Wow such change of heart. Also yes. B***h.
Make her serve time and publish her mug every where so she can be vilified and publicly ridiculed until the day she decides to do the right thing and take herself out
Let me tell you, my neigborhood is full of abandon dogs all of a sudden. It's heartbreaking!!! Once, I was at the park on my bike and this dog started following me home, I thought he had an owner but he didn't. Its so sad!!! Why do people do this? :(
Y'all are aware these are dogs right?? I mean, yeah, it's mean, but at the end of the day they're animals. Far worse happens to humans everyday, but where's the outrage? Remember this: you can throw a dog off a bridge and you'll only get in trouble if it lands on a person in a boat. Anyway, yeah, hope every one of you complainers is a vegetarian.
Oh, oplease shut up. Besides, humans are actually technically animals as well. Why do you think that you’re more important than a dog? They feel pain and fear too.
Load More Replies...Why didn’t you get their license plate number? You were standing their looking right at it! Not too bright!🙄
On the other hand...... SPCA is likely to eventually kill them. At least feral they have a chance.... I would never do this, just sayin'
they may have a better chance of being adopted due to the publicity surrounding their dumping... but you are correct. For most dogs, it's a 1 way ticket to a gas chamber. I volunteer with a rescue group that pulls Great Pyrenees from shelters in TX to find fosters & forever homes for them. The ONE small group I work with in ONE area of Texas that rescues ONE breed, sends over 30 dogs a month to Oregon/Washington to be adopted & fostered. Many more are rehomed in Texas. Since we are a small rescue group our intake is limited and there are many who do not get saved. Sadly they often end up euthanized. Texas shelters euthanize over 70% of the pets that end up in shelters. Well over 200K animals killed per year. Cats have it worst than dogs.

They don’t use social media or read the bull s**t news. They love me because I have love for them. Due to my family, I doubt I will ever have children, so I will always have room for ‘unwanted’ pets. Who I treat like my children.
my friend jack said that he had a dog that his father was allergic to, so they abandoned him in the park. i called the police and they got what they deserved. he has no right to do this, even though he insisted that "someone must have found him". that is not a guarantee. don't be like my former friend. send them somewhere where they will be safe and cared for.
I grew up on a farm, our house was close to my uncles auto repair and on a oft travelled road. People dumped animals on our property almost EVERY DAY! About 10 years after my husband and I married, we bought a farm. People have NOT changed! They regularly drop animals off on our property. It's despicable. I knew I couldnt stop people from being a******s, so, I got approved by the Humane Society to be a Safe haven farm. They came and inspected my farm, gave me a list of changes I needed to make and rules to adhere to. Then, I could at least take care of the animals with the H.S. assistance. They helped with vetting, also when it was time to rehome an animal, I could count on them to do a proper inspection of adopting family.
Hmm lets see, i cant take care of ONE dog so ill get FOUR. IM TIRED OF THEM, JUST DUMP THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. Good job lady.
I hope she got known in her neighbourhood thanks to this and her windows are full of rotten food now! I swear If I could get my hands on her, she'd regret it deeply. F*** b***!!!!!!!
There was a part of me that watched the car back up and hoped it would get rammed by a passing semi or something--but then I thought, "Why would I wish such trouble on the semi and its driver?"
Sadly I don't think this lady got punished at all because of her so called "change of heart". She probably figured the good Samaritan got her license plates and would report her. She should still have to pay the fine and jail time because if that lady wasn't there confronting them, they would not have had a change of heart. Pathetic.
This is unbelievable! If she doesn't like dogs, why did she get four in the first place?? This is infuriating! It's my life-long dream to have a dog, and I can't even have one (got 2 rescue cats, small apartment), but a scumbag like her gets to have four?! and throws them away??!!
They should fine the idiot in the back seat hat flipped the bird too!!!
Make her an example and give her the maximum allowed by law! Then increase the penalties by changing the law! People like this are disgusting human beings who have just proven capable of doing something similar, to kids or elderly if they could get away with it! Sick minded.
When I lived in a rural area, people dumped off cats and they often succumbed to a rancher's poison (not legal). I'm glad this shelter doesn't charge to surrender animals. It seems like the person in the driver's seat is yelling out directions to the young woman. Maybe she's a teenage daughter or has an overbearing partner.Taking ones pets away is a common punishment in domestic abuse.We don't really know who is orchestrating this.
I'm disgusted even more by the thought that this could be "punishment".
Load More Replies...Adding to the problem are people that refuse to spay or neuter their pets and people who breed animals and contribute to the problem by buying animals rather than adopting. Be a part of the solution rather than adding to the problem. If you have the chance and don't take it you're not a true animal lover. DON'T breed or buy animals and spay or neuter.
Give her a yr in jail plus the fine ! She is only sorry because she was caught !!!! Disgusting!!!
This is one of many stories we hear about, just not the worst. I would like to know who the heartless idiot in the back seat was, hope not her kid, who has the same attitude. That woman should be made to see a shrink, then pay the top level of the fine plus jail time, also time to work at an animal shelter, but only the cleaning JOB !!!
I was the jail time and fine that made her change her mind. These f*****g bitches dont have a heart.
Texas has a probelm of people just letting pets go rather than surrendering them to a shelter.
they have a big problem with people surrendering them to shelters too :(
Load More Replies...A real class act in every way (sarcasm alert) I don't care if this dirtbag did find the 4th dog and turn herself in. She should be fined, and whatever else they can throw at this POS. And she should never get near another animal again. If there weren't any witnesses, she would never feel remorse - for getting caught. People who dump cats and dogs are lower then whale s#!t.
Amen sister, let em burn, let em slowly burn 🔥.
Load More Replies...There was NO punishment to her actions. The article said according to TX law and offence of this nature COULD BE PUNISHABLE BY A YEAR OF JAIL TIME AND $4000 FINE. It did not say she was. And she did not have a change of heart, She and her accomplice got scared when the good samaritan filmed them doing this.
This woman is a POS! I only hope her family does the same to her ! What a freaking scumbag! No wonder I prefer the company of animals over people anyday
Looking at the car, I doubt these people would have $4k to pay a fine and a fine is a good way to further spiral people like this into debt from which they can't recover. Why not make them pay in a different way, ie a community corrections order to work in an animal rescue shelter, that way they can be educated at the same time.
I also agree that fines are not always the answer - Sometimes people just do not have the money - other times people may have plenty and the fine means nothing. A hefty Community Service Order would work better in both of those situations
Load More Replies...I truly hope she got hit with 4 fines for abandonment, and a lifetime ban on owning animals!
This sick B***H needs to be driven about 1200 miles away from where she lives, preferably in a very very hot climate, with NO FOOD, WATER, PHONE, MONEY, CLOTHES etc. for a few weeks. Then if she makes it through THAT, the jail/fine sentence kicks in!
This is a very sad story. They deserve lifetime prison. Very happy they were caught... and that these poor babies had a good chance from that concerned Samaritan called 311. Trusting they are in good families now...
In this case as the b***h abandoned 4 animals, hopefully have to stay 4 years in prison and pay a fine of US $16000
People like this don't even deserve the loyalty that comes with have a furry best friend!!!
So did they get fined and thrown in county?? I sure as f**k hope so!!
I treat my dog like hes my brother and even better i dont have any brother or sister so my dog is the best i have if i would choose my dog or mom i would my dog.. this is shameful the world has changes alot this women is happy she doesn't live in a contry i am in control of she would get the most painful yet slow death but im a kid and cant do s#it about it #DOGSFOREVER
My beautiful girl, Barky McWoofwoof was dumped before I adopted her 8 years ago. She came to me toilet trained so it was obvious that she'd had an owner in the past as the dog's home had only had her less than a week. She is the sweetest animal. I have mental health problems and physical disabilities and she keeps me company and lies in bed with me when I'm bedbound. She seems to know exactly when I need cuddles and she could not be more sweet with my son. She's never damaged any property and we've even managed to teach her some tricks, including putting her "babies" back in her toy box! Dogs aren't rubbish, it's not like fly tipping a washing machine. They are loving, intelligent creatures and all they want to do is please you and make you happy. Absolutely breaks my heart.
Maximum fine and sentence for each, this POS excuse of a "woman" and her accomplice. Neither deserves to be let off the hook. Neither deserves to ever have another animal OR a child. These two low-life pieces of scum make my blood boil. I hate them.
Why pretend to be a pet lover or Pet owner when you got no heart in You...
Wow it's true, there are still people that have no, I'm about to say some stupid s**t that will make me look like an a*****e, filter.
Load More Replies...Should be fined £4000 and inprisoned 1 year per dog. Disgusting human being
Dogs give you this unconditional love, this complete trust. I'll never ever understand what kind of black heart it takes to torture or abandon your own dogs. (But then people even do this to their own small children, so I really shouldn't be surprised)
Yeah, she "had a change of heart" only after the authorities where involved. Affrid she would get arrested if she didn't help. I would also like a written applogy from the scum that flipped her off. Callus trash. Dogs are better off without them.
What happened to her!?!? NOTHING! I don’t see anywhere in the article that she ever got reprimanded. Regardless of her “change of heart” she carried out the abandonment- get prosecuted damnit!!!! This is beyond words. My emotions are running too high!
Makes our problems seem small. The only one that can abandon you is yourself. Those poor pups. I'm cutting onions and looking at my little doggie. She would never abandon me...and likewise. Great job Good Samaritan.
Thank God for this Good Samaritan. May that abomination parading as a woman be abandoned herself someday. I agree, she was not remorseful, just scared at being caught. Jeez, sometimes you want to retire from the human race. I wish monsters like this had to wear labels so you could keep your kids away from them.
This happens all the time in Texas. My grandfather lived out near Orange, and would constantly see people dump and run. He started shooting at the cars going for tires. Those dogs that he could catch, he'd rescue and take them either to shelters or in. Problem is that many see animals as property not as companions. You got to catch them to charge them.
Animal cruelty and animal abandonment laws need to be MUCH harsher. She should be prosecuted. Just because she came back to help find the 4th dog doesn't exonerate her from committing the original crime in the first place. She needs to be punished for the crime she committed,especially since there is this video proof.
Hate the act not the person. You all have no idea what was going on in this person's head. Maybe she had just been beaten and terrified that morning and was fleeing, the best way she knew how from " domestic" violence. ... Anything could have been going on. It is far to easy to jump on the hate wagon. ... please increasing the hate messages is not going to help. I can not think of anyone who ever changed their opinion because a stranger insulted them.
It’s sad this happened but poverty drives people to extremes like this.
I didn't realize being poor was an excuse to treat animals badly. Couldn't be that poor they were DRIVING A CAR.
Load More Replies...And you know what, some spineless, jellyfish of a judge will give her 20 lashes with a wet noodle, no fine, no jail time, NOTHING. These people MUST learn how horrible an is that they're doing. It's really NO different than dumping your children out there to fend. People think, oh they're animals, they'll make out. But these are PETS. They have no wilderness or survival skills. They'll have to learn the hard way just like a child would learn. Many times they WON'T survive. WHY do people do this? Don't they know that's what shelters are for? Did it NEVER occur to this jackass to call friends to see if they would like a nice dog? WHY can't we get the seriousness of this through to people?
I'm glad she had a change of heart, I hope she gets the maximum sentence. She is not a kind lady and she and the person driving the car need to go straight to H**l
I love the one with the little mouse inside the flower, I am without a pet right now, because my kitty died a couple of years ago, so I get thrilled when I see pictures like this. This mouse is so cute, me wants one!
I completely understand that sometimes a pet owner can no longer take care of the pets that they have, however, there's absolutely no excuse for the owners to dump the pets out in the street. If they didn't know how to not be an owner anymore they could have researched online. It really is such a shame that they were that heartless, they dumped the dogs and then flipped off the woman recording. If they had done the right thing they wouldn't have had such a negative attitude. I hope somewhere down the line they learn from such a mistake.... and also hope they learn to never own a pet again.
This is so s**t, how people can do this? But can we please recognise that there were 3 people in this car and not just this woman?! Those arsehole driver and the idiot in the back will hopefully be found as well and fined!
This really "pisses" me off! I bet nothing was done to the owners. THAT PISSES ME OFF! The damned government does NOT care! Nobody pushes for protection of the poor animals! I am SICK of humans that do this s**t!
That woman and her partner should be thrown in jail anyway. As someone mentioned, the only reason she came back was that the camera filmed her license plate. How odious. What trash. How inhuman some "humans" can be. Throw the book at her and keep her away from animals the rest of her life. Better still, throw her in the middle of nowhere with, as someone else stated, no food or water. See how she likes it. It's what she deserves, and more.
This no good sub human pos shoudol be shot not jailed or paying a fine. Fine of 4K make it 25K per dog and 5 yrs for each animal. No more deals with abusers, long jail hefty fines or shoot them.
Instead of us getting dog licences, They should be a licences for People to be aloud to have pets!
San Antonio ought to clean up all that trash on the dead end street now that it's gotten so much attention. These people's mentality must have been "look, this is a good dumping off place..." Is it possible to not understand the concept of a dog shelter? They say people who are unkind to animals are most likely to treat children the same way. At least they look well fed. How many people were part of this dog dump? Are they not party to the crime?
Years ago a co-worker moved out of town and a fella told me he had left his 4 month old puppy tied in the back yard . I went and retrieved her , She is now 18 years old .
Thank you for saving a dog! That’s awesome of you.
Load More Replies...I have too much difficulty seeing stories like this - especially without a very good ending. I say to anyone considering adopting an animal: Do you have 15+ years where you are SURE you can take care of it? Small dog or cat is likely more years. If you can't say yes, get a fish or stuffed animal. This isn't a 3-year thing. This is the lifetime of the animal. And if something happens where you cannot take care of the animal. for God Sakes, take it to a shelter where it has a chance!!! Dumping it somewhere makes you a scumbag coward piece of sh*t.
The couple should have been punished by law, not let off the hook. The accompanying publicity would have been far greater than from any online post because newspapers and TV stations eat this stuff up. Listen up, everyone: the next time you have an opportunity to do good, take a few moments to consider how you can do the MOST good. Animal abandonment is a real and growing problem, and San Antonio's response will do little or nothing about it.,
I think she's awful, but so are shelters that kill or sell to labs most of the dogs and cats who come into their 'care'.
charge her separately for each dog and she can go to jail for 4 years and/or pay $16000 fine plus court fees
hmmm... year in jail and $4k fine or maybe admit I was wrong.... she's quite the hero.... or maybe not...
I posted my thoughts earlier but had to put my email in. So I'm not going to do it again. She'll get what coming to her
I hope this B***h gets a year in jail for each precious little dog she dumped+ a fine for each of the little babies she so cold heartedly dumped.
People? They cannot be called people, and calling them animals iinsults animals. Monsters. If you cannot take care of your pet go to a shelter, don't make things worse!!
People make me sick, there are SO MANY cruelty free ways to find homes for pets that you can no longer care for and there is ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME in finding them a home. I personally had a red tailed boa, she was my whole world. I was a drug addict and I could no longer take care of her, so I did the research and found someone that was not only educated in raising large snakes, but would be willing to keep in touch with me and let me know if she was unable to take care of her, that way it wasn't on her shoulders to find housing for a pet who she was unable to take care of. Luckily, that was never an issue and I know that my snake is happy with a caring individual,
i would say what the lady did, but then also give her a knuckle sandwich, and if she still left, i would go over and cuddle with the dogs. I LOVE ANIMALS SOOO MUCH! (i'm pretty sure i like the animals the best in all of my province)
Good for that woman who not only called, but tried to intervene from the get-go (which had to be uncomfortable). What's with all the trash? Looks like some poor Eastern European country.
I think some of you may have missed that so far, this ugly, overweight brute of a sub-human has not been punished. She should be tied to a post and horsewhipped - but unfortunately neither the whipping or the legal consequences will likely happen. She should at least have a permanent tattoo deeply inscribed on her forehead to identify her - something like "I am sub-human" or a similar warning. Everyone in that car involved should be liable and subject to the stated law.
Thank God for the modern technology ,at least you can prove and show the reality , with words nobody would care or believe .So glad they are safe .A monster not a woman, if she got children i feel sorry for them.
She probably does have a lot of children, all of them taking advantage of every possible "free" program, whether they need it or not. They probably spend a lot of time in the principal's office in their respective schools, and of course nothing is ever their fault.
Load More Replies...Was kinda hoping that while driving off, they would lose control over the car and crash into the nearest tree... And that's definitely not a change of heart, probably saw what punishment she can get and hoping to get out of it. Jail them and ban them from ever owning a pet ever again.
I was so upset watching this disgusting video I ran in to our living roon to share with my wife what I had just seen. She was sitting on our loveseat with Daisy Mae on her lap and Sugar Pie on the seat next to her. They are rescues that someone dumped at Espada park in San Antonio. We work hard so that our dogs can have nice things. We love them. They are our children and we are gratefull for our little family to be together.
I cant even read this.. someone tell me that she took the dogs in. Someone telling the dogs are okay please
okay so as of late two of them were adopted and the other two have not been yet.
Load More Replies...and this happens Every...damn... day. And worse - put into dumpsters, buried alive, left to starve chained outside. People are the worst breed.
I just want to show this kind of person a Pomeranian Dog and ask if they could sleep at night knowing you dumped it in the middle of nowhere.
Wow, what a nasty piece of garbage. She looks like a piece of scum and I’m so happy that, at the very least, she can be excoriated on the internet. Clearly she deserves worse but she does get to go back to her trash life which is probably a nice enough punishment. Can you even imagine being that much a of scum low life...imagine how gross her day to day life must be if she’s shameless enough to heartlessly shove dogs out of her car in broad daylight and on camera...
My friend pointed out that the person driving may have been an abusive person. I know it's just speculation but he should be punished, too. She may have been afraid for their lives if he was threatening her. I hope that she opens up to the authorities if it is an abusive situation.
Poor angels :( this makes me so sad that people could do this. I have dogs of my own and a cat and I hate just leaving for a day to go to work with them at home. I miss them. And when I get home the greeting I get makes me feel so good. I love my dogs and cat. I love all animals. Karma will come to her with the fine and whatever happens in the future same with those other people.
I really wish we had a database that this c*nt could be put in so she can never adopt or "purchase" another animal anywhere. Texas needs to start upping the penalties and jail time for these scumbags. Make examples out of them so others might think twice. This behavior is rampant here in south Texas.
Reading comprehension. I feel it's missing here. The "change of heart" now equals minimum cooperaion with the shelter people *while getting rid of your dog* ? Just listen to this, this glorious woman helped them locate the dog she threw out so it can continue being abandoned in a shelter and she doesn't have to pay 4k$ for that. Wow such change of heart. Also yes. B***h.
Make her serve time and publish her mug every where so she can be vilified and publicly ridiculed until the day she decides to do the right thing and take herself out
Let me tell you, my neigborhood is full of abandon dogs all of a sudden. It's heartbreaking!!! Once, I was at the park on my bike and this dog started following me home, I thought he had an owner but he didn't. Its so sad!!! Why do people do this? :(
Y'all are aware these are dogs right?? I mean, yeah, it's mean, but at the end of the day they're animals. Far worse happens to humans everyday, but where's the outrage? Remember this: you can throw a dog off a bridge and you'll only get in trouble if it lands on a person in a boat. Anyway, yeah, hope every one of you complainers is a vegetarian.
Oh, oplease shut up. Besides, humans are actually technically animals as well. Why do you think that you’re more important than a dog? They feel pain and fear too.
Load More Replies...Why didn’t you get their license plate number? You were standing their looking right at it! Not too bright!🙄
On the other hand...... SPCA is likely to eventually kill them. At least feral they have a chance.... I would never do this, just sayin'
they may have a better chance of being adopted due to the publicity surrounding their dumping... but you are correct. For most dogs, it's a 1 way ticket to a gas chamber. I volunteer with a rescue group that pulls Great Pyrenees from shelters in TX to find fosters & forever homes for them. The ONE small group I work with in ONE area of Texas that rescues ONE breed, sends over 30 dogs a month to Oregon/Washington to be adopted & fostered. Many more are rehomed in Texas. Since we are a small rescue group our intake is limited and there are many who do not get saved. Sadly they often end up euthanized. Texas shelters euthanize over 70% of the pets that end up in shelters. Well over 200K animals killed per year. Cats have it worst than dogs.
