Sometimes we have to be the voices for our animal friends, but taking action when animal abuse, cruelty, or neglect is suspected isn't always easy or swift. However, by speaking up and speaking out as many times as it takes to see action, we can help those animals in our community who need us.

In May, DDBBR was asked to assist law enforcement with a property in Rockbridge County. Fifteen dogs were living there in severe neglect and squalor. Many had rarely been touched or socialized and were semi-feral. All were medically neglected, with several suffering from serious conditions.

The owner agreed to surrender 11 of the dogs to DDBBR. Two were rehomed with family or friends, and two initially remained on the property.

We’re grateful that Animal Control and the Commonwealth’s Attorney chose to move forward with animal cruelty charges. A few days before the court date, the owner accepted a plea deal that we believe was the best outcome in this case. As part of the agreement, he surrendered the remaining two dogs and is no longer permitted to own companion animals. Animal Control is authorized to make unannounced visits to ensure compliance.

This outcome helps protect future animals and gives these dogs the chance they deserve. Thank you for making this work possible.

Winter has come early this year! ❄️

With more snow expected tomorrow (Friday), please keep pets indoors when possible, or make sure they have a warm, dry shelter if they’re outside.

If you go for a walk, remember to wipe paws after walks to remove ice and salt, and limit time outside!
