Rex is SAFE (the fridge dog)
Sick little story out of Boulder Colorado...I hope they take the dog away and put him/her up for adoption!! If not for the safety of the dog, for the safety of the humans because if I were that dog I'd wait for them to fall asleep and go for the juggler! The worst part of this article..was one sentence..."We USUALLY don't do this"....good god!!

Excerpt:
Abby Toll, 20, was arrested on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after telling police she taped the puppy, a shiba inu named Rex, to the fridge because she was angry at her boyfriend for not getting rid of his pet after it had bitten her.
“There’s a dog taped to the fridge,” she reportedly told an officer who responded to a call about a domestic incident at the apartment in the 2900 block of East Aurora Avenue around 5 a.m. Tuesday. “I know this looks bad. We were going to get rid of him anyway. We usually don’t do this.”

Read it on The Smoking Gun.
Some jerk offs brought their cattle dog in for vaccines, they had duck taped it's mouth shut to muzzle it for some stupid reason. Before I realized what the guy was doing, he grabbed the tape and ripped it off the dog's face taking whiskers, fur and skin with it. I can only hope the pup was medicated for the removal of the tape.

Rex was brought to us by the Boulder Police Department on Tuesday after he had been found taped to a refrigerator. The Shiba Inu was taped upside down to the appliance, with his paws bound together by elastic hair ties, after a domestic dispute between its guardian and his girlfriend. Rex was in severe pain and traumatized. The perpetrator of the offense was arrested and now faces charges of animal cruelty.
“Rex is doing better physically but he is frightened,” said Lisa Pedersen, CEO of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. “Our behavior and medical team is working to help him rebuild his trust in people. We want to thank everyone in the community for their outpouring of support for Rex, and voicing their concern for animal abuse.”
Because the case is ongoing, we are unable to forecast at this time if or when Rex will become available for adoption. Make a donation to help us assist animals like Rex who are victims of abuse.
Geeze...that girl is messed up. Animal cruelty, assault, trace amounts of Heroin in her system??? I'm glad that they're charging her with everything. I hope whichever judge she gets THROWS THE BOOK AT HER!!!

What the hell is with people taking it out on animals when their lives are messed up and they have crappy relationships?
