Two Great Pyrenees Kept In Storage Unit, Need Home Now!
I just got this message from a rescue group that is in the UK, they saw this and got it to me in hopes we can help.
Two gorgeous dogs were adopted out only to be kept in a storage unit, the DA won’t prosecute the person responsible, and now the dogs are back at a kill shelter.
We need to get these dogs a home, and there is no time to waste. Then, we need to contact the DA and demand the woman responsible for doing this be charged with animal cruelty.
Lumpkin County, GA Great Pyrenees kept in storage unit!!!
It just came to my attention today that two Great Pyrenees that were formally at the Lumpkin County Animal Shelter in Dahlonega, GA are BACK!
These two gentle giants were adopted out from there to a person who kept them in a STORAGE UNIT for the past two weeks!!!!
Sad thing is…I had those that wanted them…but they were given to someone who did this horrible act of animal cruelty to them! They are now back at the shelter yet I’m trying desperately to get them pulled! They need to see a vet! They need to get out of there! They NEED a NEW HOME!!!
Animal Control picked them up yesterday… but guess what? The DA in Lumpkin County GA will NOT prosecute the woman for animal cruelty!
First thing: PLEASE CALL THE DA’S OFFICE and beg them to prosecute this woman for putting these two gentle and sweet giants into a windowless storage untit filled with her garbage! He refused!!!
Lumpkin County DA: Stan Gunner, Asst. DA; Tom Wight
Call them to DEMAND that they file proper animal abuse charges against this person who put them in a darkened, windowless, environment!!!
706-864-6754
As said above….I am desperately looking to pull these two and get them first to a vet…and then on to a new home or with another rescue that can take them! Please be humble and pass this along to ALL that care about the animals! Help find them a home! If you can not…please consider donating towards the vet care they will need…or in the least…enough money to get them out of the kill shelter where they now linger so I can get them into a boarding facility…
They did nothing wrong in life…yet life has been so cruel to these two…they have spent their lives outdoors…and then sent to a kill shelter…then to a STORAGE UNIT FOR TWO WEEKS!!!…and NOW?! They’re back at the kill shelter!
PLEASE take the time to call the DA’s office! PLEASE take the time to donate even a dollar so I can get them pulled and out of that place!
Thank you!

Sometimes people really make me ill.
praying for you 2 pups to find a furever home pronto!
xoxooxox
Utterly disgusting.
So sad to think that someone could treat these beautiful dogs that way… praying they find a new home soon.
This is so sad. I wish they would have been prosecuted.
Have they been rescued or adopted? I don’t see them on the Lumpkin county animal shelter/humane societ website?
I will be calling later this morning to the DA’s office. Thanks for the info!
this is horrible, lets hope this person gets her just rewards. Hopefully there is someone out there that can give them the forever home they deserve. I hope they get flooded with phone calls and prosecution takes place. The more that get their necks stepped on the less that will step up and do these horrible acts. Call that number and flood that office. Let them know this will not be tolerated. We have to stand up for what is right. I am sure if they could talk they would do it for you.
This makes me so sad. I read this story after just after our 9 year old Pyr passed way this week. There is a big hole in our hearts and house, and I would do almost anything to look into those big brown eyes and give her a big hug one more time. How could anyone do this to these beautiful, caring, loyal animals?
I just got off the phone with the DA’s office in Lumpkin Co. I was told that in Georgia they only way a person can be charged with animal cruelty is if they cause the undue suffering and / or death of an animal. In this case the woman had left food and water for the dogs, there was no fecal matter present and they were in good health. In fact one had recently been to the vet who found the dog to be healthy and saw no reason for concern. I argued that being in a storage unit the dogs are subject to extremes of temperature, not to mention the stale air which could lead to problems and suffering. She agreed with me but said the DA’s hands are tied as they have to adhere to the laws as they are presently written. She suggested I contact my state representative in an effort to have the laws changed to encompass a wider range of circumstances that would constitute animal cruelty. Neither Mr. Gunner or Mr Wight were available for comment.
Hopefully this alert will get these two dogs a new home and spur the powers to be to change what is considered animal cruelty.
GOOD NEWS: I just found out the dogs got pulled by a rescue. I will post more as soon as I get an update.
The injustice of this makes me feel physically ill. Until people like this DA take a stand against this type of animal treatment, nothing will ever change.
Thanks for the update, Horst. That is great news! When are we as a nation going to stop breeding dogs & cats when so many are killed each & every day?
I just sent an email to Mr. Stark conveying the need to further investigate the woman involved.
Yay Horst!!! That is SUPER news!!!
