A mama dog of ten puppies, named Clover, helped alert authorities to this awful case of animal abuse.
Clover managed to escape the property and was seen wandering a nearby road. When Royal Animal Refuge volunteers set out to help the stray mother dog, she led them right to the property where her ten puppies were.
“Not only was she trying to get us to her puppies but it was almost like she was looking out for everybody else there,” Mariel Weigand, Director of Royal Animal Refuge, told Fox 5. “She’s a very special girl.”
Spalding County deputies immediately responded to the property, where they confirmed the volunteer’s fears. As soon as they approached the property, they could smell an awful stench. They then discovered six dead animals in pens. There was a dog in a dog house inside the kennel, a dead chicken in a coop, two dead ducks and two dead rabbits in cages.
27-year-old Ashley Gresham was arrested, and surrendered her dogs to Royal Animal Rescue.
Clover and her puppies are now safe and getting proper care. Sadly, one of the dogs, named Archie, had a broken leg that had to be amputated. Another pup, Teddy, also needs medical treatment, and Lilo and Stitch need to gain a lot more weight.
The dogs will eventually be up for adoption once they’re fully recovered.
