On Oct. 19, 2005 Tammy Miller Lovett pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals. She was sentenced to 12 months probation, ordered to pay the city of metter restitution for holding and caring for the dogs, and animal control will monitor the dogs during the probation period. The dogs will be returned to her after she pays for the rabies shots. Case Updates| Tammy Lovett was brought back to court after Animal Control performed two visits. On the first visit the dogs had no food, water, or shelter - it was raining that day. On the second visit, conditions were the same, although it was not raining. Animal control felt that the dogs were deteriorating back to poor condition. The judge ordered Officer Tommy Condrey to pick up the dogs after Lovett failed to pay probation. Lovett voluntary released the dogs back to animal control on December 21. | Source: City Of Metter Animal Control
