BACKGROUND / EDITED FOR LENGTH:
FULL ACCOUNT:
Abused Former K-9 Handler’s Dog Is Denied Justice
Hannah, a 4-year-old German Shepherd was formerly owned by a Tattnall County, GA, K-9 handler. From a very young age, Hannah was used as a breeding machine, confined until her muscles atrophied, starved and neglected. When deemed no longer useful, she was surrendered to an animal control facility in Reidsville, Georgia (about 75 miles southwest of Savannah, in Tattnall County) with orders to euthanize her.
At the time of her surrender, Hannah (known then as Haunna) was in horrific condition. She’d been starved and was severely emaciated at only 41 lbs. Her pads were so wounded that she walked on her haunches. Her fur was rubbed off in many places due to confinement. She was also pregnant and gave birth to three stillborn puppies while at the animal control facility.
On February 7, 2007, Southern Cross German Shepherd Rescue saved Hannah. On her way to a vet, she began to bleed -- mostly from giving birth combined with her extremely poor physical condition. A statement from the vet:
Today, I examined Haunna (now Hannah), an approximately 4-year-old GSD. During the examination, it was noted Haunna is severely underweight. On a typical scoring scale, with 3/5 being a normal, healthy weight, Haunna is a low 1/5. This type of body condition is typically only noted in dogs suffering from long-term cancers or long term starvation. No signs of neoplasia (cancer) were noted in Haunna. Haunna had hair loss on her caudal thighs consistent with long term kenneling, skin disease, or both. If you have any questions, or other information I can provide, please don’t hesitate to call.
Sincerely, Will Baldwin, DVM, Cornelia Veterinay Hospital Cornelia, GA * 706 778-6605
When Hannah gained enough strength she was spayed. Her uterus, full of cystic nodules, was removed. She also had 2 very small tumors excised from her mammary glands. She tested a very strong heartworm positive and must undergo treatment as soon as she is strong enough.
Hannah’s case had to be turned over to the GBI - Georgia Bureau of Investigation, because the person who owned her was associated with the law enforcement in Tattnall county as a K-9 handler.
Southern Cross and Hannah’s new guardian desperately want justice for Hannah but it looks like authorities are either sweeping the case under the rug...or trying to cover it up. They’ve also heard that her previous owner has acquired another dog to replace Hannah as his new “breeding machine.”
