Warrants for animal cruelty were being taken out Friday for a woman residing on East Eighth Street in Tifton, said Regenia Wells, director of Tifton-Tift County Animal Control. Wells said her office was in the process of gathering all of the information so that the warrant could be served.

Wells said that on Oct 16 afternoon she got a call from a woman who was looking at a house for sale and noticed the situation of a dog next door. After visiting the area several times to look at the sale house, the woman called Animal Control. �The lady said the dog was chained in the back yard and had not had any food or water for two or three days,� Wells said.

The dog, a young chocolate lab, was picked up and taken to the Tifton-Tift County Animal Shelter where Wells attempted to remove the chain that had become embedded in the dog�s neck. �Chad Shadle with Code Enforcement was here, and I asked him to help me,� Wells said. �He got the bolt cutter.�

They could not removed the chain because it was so deeply embedded in the dog�s neck. The dog was taken to Quailwood Animal Hospital.

�He had to be put to sleep (tranquilized) to remove the chain,� Wells said. �He�s fine and back with us now.�
