Article says this woman has a kid.

The Veterinary Hospital where she worked has an excellent reputation and they were shocked to find out what she did.

They immediately suspended her, but are continuing to pay her, because she has a child. Poor child, having a Mother like that.

Animal control authority is seeking felony charges — hope they get them.

A vet tech? That’s just sick.

There’s no way this woman could treat a dog like that, and then be trustworthy with animals in her care. If I had an animal in her care, I would raise the roof.

A part time vet tech? What duties did she perform for the clinic, euthanasia?

I would give up my food before I would let my dog get in that shape.

The latest:

“The vet who owns the hospital where this bimbo worked called me personally to apologize. He was kind and wonderful and very upset himself. He said he had no idea that she even had a dog. He also said that she is NOT a vet tech, she is a vet attendant who cleans kennels. He offered “anything GSROC needs——anything-—just let him know.” I really honestly feel badly for this poor man—she only worked there for 6 months.”

Interesting that Courage might get help from where the suspect worked.

“He also said that she is NOT a vet tech, she is a vet attendant who cleans kennels. ... she only worked there for 6 months.... He offered “anything GSROC needs - anything - just let him know”.

Thanks for this important clarification and update. I am absolutely sure that he had absolutely no idea what monster lurked under the woman’s nice appearance.

I'd spit in her face if she got close to me.

Glad the German Shepherd is going to survive...Super great dogs....People that would do that to such a faithful animal need to be put in a rubber room for a long time.

Well, that’s a relief. I was beginning to wonder if they didn’t have a “death angel” on their hands, like a few hospitals and rest homes have had.

Sooooo- IF I were using this Vet hospital, their cost of doing business is raised by continuing to pay this creep? Just because she has a kid?

Why should my fees continue to subsidize this woman?

If she worked for me, she would be fired—no future with my company—and I would consult a lawyer for defaming my business with her behavior.

I agree with you in principle, but I also thought that since she is “innocent until proven guilty”, if they fire her now, she can turn around and sue them. I am sure they are not going to continue to pay her much longer, they probably want her off their books ASAP.
