I got the rights to know who who called the cops. >> Okay. >> Shouldn't be crying for him. She should be crying for the two dogs that are dead back there. >> Mommy. There's not a lot of running these cars nowadays. >> Oh, yeah. I've been here. >> On March 16th, 2024, officers responded to a residence for a welfare check. The home's power was recently disconnected and the electrical company went to reconnect it. The technician advised that there was a dog in a crate and it looks to be starving. When officers arrived, it was worse than they could have imagined. >> How are you? >> We got a call. I don't know if it's from a neighbor or somebody else that was concerned. I I'm sure if it was for the kids or for the I'm guess some of the thing made a sign for the dog. So your kennel was outside, the dog was inside, but there was >> No, what was outside? >> You have a dog? >> Yes, my brother. >> Brother on that side? >> Yeah, >> said the dog was outside, but they had a bunch of dead animals around the dog. >> I don't know. >> Where's the dog at? >> Over there. I don't know. >> Does he knows y'all? >> The dog. Y'all could y'all come with us and So that way he's not too shocked me. He sees somebody he knows. >> Oh, I'm just explaining. Hey puppy dead cat. >> It's a dog. >> It's a dog. >> I guess like a It's a some kind of dog. >> Where's your brother at? >> He's not I can call him. He's at home right now. Uh home. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The >> dog doesn't have any food or water. They can't stand cage like that. >> You want me to uh call him? >> Yeah. Call him if he can come home would be best. >> How am Well, go ahead and notify animal control. We've got one deceased. It's either a cat or small dog inside a kennel and then another dog's got no food or water. The owner is not here. The neighbor is a family and they're going to call them. Actually, there's another one. Actually, we got another deceased uh looks like a dog next door that came under the bushes. >> Okay. 214. Make sure you take a lot of pictures of that. >> I'm doing so we got it video. >> He's on his way. >> Okay. Do you know anything about these dogs? >> No. Um I live in the old apartment. This is his apartment. He just moved here. >> How long's he lived here now? >> He used to live in our other apartment. >> So he just moved next to the same building next door. >> Yes. >> Is he coming? >> Yeah, he's >> When did he move over here? >> Like week or month or just a good guess? >> March. Beginning of March. I don't know exact day. >> So, wasn't that about 2 weeks or so? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> You've never seen these dogs before? >> No, I've seen the dogs before. >> This dog here? >> Yeah. >> You don't know what happened to it? >> No, cuz I don't take care of them cuz when Well, we we used to take care of him when we live in the old apartment, but once he moved here, I don't come to his apartment. >> What about that dog? >> Which one? >> Underneath the bush. There's a small deceased one there. [Music] You ever seen that dog? >> Yeah. >> But um the he had more but he had um sold the other ones. The only one he wanted to keep was the big one. >> Yeah. >> But like I said like we used to take care of them when he was in the other apartment. >> Once he moved really come to the apartment. >> Okay. How far away is he? >> I don't know. I asked him where he was at. He just said he was in the >> He wouldn't be at work or anything like he had. >> No, he's not. He just out and about at doing his normal. Okay. So, what's the big one here that's still on the kennel? What's his name or you know his name? >> Oh, >> yeah. >> The mel. >> Do you know what the name for this one was? >> No. >> They didn't really have names cuz he stole the other ones. >> Yeah. Do you have anything he called them by or how he took them apart when they were both together? This one's moving. >> His his arm is moving. Looks like he's got >> he's telling her that she can't get her stuff >> worms. Intestinal worms. A So would he be Azul? Will he be the father of these two? >> No. >> You know where he got the puppies from? >> Uh I'm not sure. Like I know he got it from somebody he knows, but I'm not sure. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Usually if it's a mom, obviously you keep the puppies from the mom and sell them. But generally with the dads, they don't get them. But if he was a father of the dad, sometimes they work out agreement with the whoever owns the mom and owns the dad. They kind of split them up or get one of them or something like that. >> I wouldn't know. Yeah, I know. He got it from somebody who knows. I wouldn't know how to I don't know his name really. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Hello. >> Are there any other animals inside? >> No. >> What's your brother's name? >> Kevin. >> You know his birthday? >> 2003. >> All right. Is anybody else stay here with him or is he just by himself now since he moved in? >> Just his um girlfriend, but right now his girlfriend um hasn't been staying with him. He's she's been at the mom's house cuz she's sick. >> Okay. Did she move in when he moved in or? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You know his girlfriend's name? >> Uh, Vanessa. I don't know if that's her first name. I met her by Vanessa and then her I don't know her last name. >> Cuz they don't have they haven't been together that long. >> Okay. Just recent. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I'm going to go to the other mechanic that I'm over here. >> That's fine. That's fine. Thank you. 10. If you also let animal control know that the one pup still in the kennel uh has moved a little bit. It's kind of barely holding on. I don't know if he'll live much longer. >> Clear. >> Yeah, he's >> he's on I'm going to say by tonight he's dead. Thinking three counts animal cruelty. >> Oh yeah. I've never arrested anybody for it. But >> I'm going to wait and see what they say. Apparently the girlfriend. He's only lived over here 2 weeks, but that's long enough for these pups. I don't know how long they've been here. What's in this bag? >> The other one looks healthy. >> The dog. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's just cuz it's old. I mean, it's an adult. >> Still needs food and water, though. Yeah. I don't know how long. I mean, it been been gone for an hour. It could have been gone for, you know, four or five hours. I'm going to take some overall pictures of the resident so we know where it's at. >> What's that? >> Animal cruelty. It's word for word. Um, taking possession of an animal and failing to provide food and water and necessities. >> We'll see what animal control thinks about it. >> I'm sure they'll make their own charges. That'd be interesting. I've never never seen this side of it. >> Back corner >> back outside. >> Just outside. Yeah. So, the the sister said is the brother's dog. He's moved over here about two weeks along with the girlfriend moved. Girlfriend has gone back home cuz she's been sick. >> Yeah. >> Um she used to take care of the pups and the dog when they lived at her. But since he moved from this house to this house, she really hadn't seen the pups. >> Okay. >> So, but they they look like they were maybe 6 weeks old. >> Yeah. One of them was still in the kennel. I didn't see it. He saw him. He said he moved his paws a little Looks like he's probably get or uh intestinal worms. >> Okay, there's worms. Okay, well let me >> The other one is starting to dehide. I mean, it's already starting to decay. >> Are you guys like moving forward with any charges or you guys wanting me to kind of handle on my level? >> Well, we want to see what you thought about it and then we'll go from there >> and see what he says when he gets here like the >> I mean either way word for animal >> but at least especially with the deceased animal like the lack of care. I mean that's look special >> right here on your left. So, the pup's in the kennel here. Got an adult here. And then the deceased pup there. This one has moved. Yeah. I don't know if he >> going to be alive very much longer. >> Okay. Um, so as it is now, just uh just to get him medical attention. Um, I'm going to collect all the animals just because this warrants me collecting them. And >> I've got video pictures for my portrait. >> Okay, awesome. I'll take a card. Um, and then Oh, you are still alive. So yeah, let me go ahead and collect um these and then I may have to leave just to see if I can save the puppy. >> Yeah. >> Um and then the owner when they show up, you can let them know to come talk to me. But 100% of this would probably constitute animal cruising. >> Can I get your phone number? >> Yeah, of course. Um so it's my personal sales and then my name's Juan. >> We know the owner's in route because she called him twice, but we just don't know where he's coming from. He she thinks he's in Athens area. So he could be 30 minutes away or he could be an hour away. We don't know. I'm just curious if he's going to be able to be saved. >> Yeah. >> Hard to tell at this point. >> Yeah, at this point it's just emergency, but it can still go either way. >> Dehydration. You got um intestinal worms or pencil. The sister didn't even know if this is the father or not. >> I say minimum dehydration for him. Yeah, >> I'll come back. Hey, >> pup. >> I'm thinking this is probably the dad from wherever the letter was at and that's why he got some pups or either the owner of the female didn't want the pups to deal with. >> I wonder if that was the runt. >> Maybe possibly >> smaller than this one here. >> Well, it's dehydrated. So, it makes it um dehydrated. No, no food. Wonder if he stuck him out there when this one died. You know, very well could be that those worms are not from this puppet. Could be from this one. It's okay. >> We got somebody to help you, hun. He's a little pity. >> SW beat somebody up. >> Oh, that's somebody with him. Malachi. I dealt with him the other week. >> Yeah. I think we probably would think we all have now. >> Not something you want to do on your normal day off. >> And I don't I think that's the only two that see >> property. >> Yeah. She said that she didn't think so. >> There's nobody inside. We looked around back just to make sure there's no other ones. >> Yeah. >> Find people. >> He's been dead for a little bit. >> Yeah. >> Get him to a bowl of water and food. He'll probably be ecstatic. Come on, little one. It's the other one I'm worried about. So, is it >> Yeah, I'm not sure they're going to make it. >> Not just to be honest with you, but um at this point they're both they both >> What happened to the dog like that? >> They'll talk to the owners if they'll at least for that part sign them over. Um yeah, I have water, but you he may not been out there but since this morning, so Holland's been out there. >> Here you go. I appreciate y'all getting out here so quick. >> Yeah, of course. Um actually, I had a car that was like maybe half a mile away. Lucky. So, just so you guys know, I'll stay in contact with you guys. Um, right now, my first priority is >> going to test, >> all right, is just trying to get that puppy some help. If it makes it through, awesome. If not, um, the dead one and the one that if it passes, we'll both get a neat proxy and I'll put everything together. But I would say I feel comfortable saying this would probably cost and that would be something you guys can do. >> It's almost word for word. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But now when y'all have it, do y'all take charges out to your own or what? >> Yes. Unfortunately, we're not like post. We can't do anything. So y'all call for our detectives. So yeah, we'll take care of >> we'll collect it. We're like secondary essentially. We're the help. So we'll get everything ready for you guys and just kind of pass it off to whoever needs to. >> We appreciate it. I'll be s for a little bit to see how long it takes some gear if he does. >> Thank you. >> The scumbag owner finally showed up. We'll get his side of the story and his excuses to why the dogs were left like that. Listen to the load of crap he tells officers. >> Are you Kevin? >> Yeah, I'm Kevin. >> Okay, so they're saying you used to live over here with your sister and you moved over here about 2 weeks ago. >> Yeah, I barely got two weeks here. >> Barely. Yeah, I would say close to it. She said it was a little after March or something. >> I got them outside cuz I I need to build a cage. >> Okay. Well, >> the papers if you want them. >> Now I ask you the the the adult um or just the puppies. Were they the um from the father over there or was that from a different different parents or >> from a different parents? But what's it called? I was going to order the papers who was supposed to come >> but I just fed them this morning. But since when I leave them outside, you know how there's little animals? That's what happened. I think I've been seeing I had two but I sold one cuz I didn't want it so I kept one. What's it called? Since it's a little small. What's it called? Probably that's why. But I don't know. >> I got the paper for the big one if you want it. >> I was just waiting on the paper for the small one. >> Okay. The problem is the the smallest one was wasn't in the kennel. It was up under the bush. >> Under the bush. >> Under the bush. It wasn't in the kennel and it's been dead for a It's been dead for a while >> now. That's what the the animal control said. >> Animal control. >> Yeah. He he's not been doing good for a while. This isn't something that happened just from this morning. The other ones barely alive. May not make it either. >> Yeah. I be feeding them. They they be eating two, three times a day. >> Okay. Let me ask you why is the Let me ask you this. When did you leave earlier? What about what time do you think? >> Uh I came back like I didn't even check time. It was like early. >> Early. >> Yeah. >> So before lunch. >> Probably >> before lunch. Okay. The adult male over here doesn't have any food or water in his kennel. Why would he not have water in his kennel? >> Because when I take I take him out so he could have water in can like so you got to have the food on the kennel and the in order for them >> he can't have he ain't had any water since you've left. That's that's >> cuz I don't I don't keep it outside cuz you know how those don't you can't keep them loose. You can't understand you sit down and keep him in a kennel, but he's got to have some kind of water or something to be able to access all the time. >> Understand? >> The puppy probably both of them are not going to Well, animal control just took the adult because he's not in good condition either. And the two the one puppy's dead and the other one's probably going to die. >> Okay. What I do with the big one? >> The big one. Animal control has him. You'll have to talk to them about see if they will let you get him back because at this point it really looks like it with no uh water and stuff over there for the puppies. That's animal cruelty and they and one is diet. >> They be they be eating. I just be taking them out and then put them back in. >> Well, they're going to do a animal necropsy to verify they haven't been eaten. There's going to be problems. Plus, it looks like they got intestinal worms. >> Worms. >> Worms. >> But they they've been checked up. >> When's the last time you >> Cuz I got I got them >> and then the person who sold it to me gave me the papers, >> took him to the van. It got all the shots. It got everything. The papers are right there. What was up with the the little dog? >> Some animal that keep like you know little animals that they keep coming to bother my little dogs. >> That's what probably that's what happened. >> The one in the cage. >> Yeah. Since they small and you know little big animals they wouldn't resist whatever attack. >> Still makes sense. When you left were you left were the both the puppies in the same kennel? Where where were both puppies put in kennels or why the other one was just left out under the bush on his own? >> No, they were in the in the cage. >> Is there nobody? >> They were in the cage. >> Probably some animal or something. >> No animal let him out. They had the doors tied shut. So >> cuz the door probably opens, you know. >> N that little bitty one has been dead for a while. >> I'm going show you right here. Yeah, that puppy didn't get out like on that on their own >> cuz they sometimes open it by open. >> It wasn't open. It was against the table and the animal control had to force open that door right there to try to get into get in get in get the puppy out. >> The little bitty one was laying right there. He's been dead for a while. >> What's he call underneath? >> It was laying right there where that circle is. You can see the >> All right. Um well, I got in from someone. So, >> um, I was waiting on the papers and everything. I got papers for this big one, too. >> I got the papers. >> Papers doesn't deny the fact that >> it shows that you're the owner of it. That's what that would show. >> You have two. You have one dead one, one dying one, and then one left without food and water. >> I fed them this morning. I feed them three times a day. >> Food's fine, but not but I >> got the rights to know who who called the cops. >> No, doesn't matter who called. Now, I'm sure your sister didn't cuz she had no idea why we're over here. >> She didn't. There some neighbor around here. So, >> could be could be could be could be somebody walked by and saw them.
