Abused dog with severe burns found during Jeffco domestic violence probe
Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies found an abused dog with severe chemical burns as they investigated a domestic violence complaint Saturday night, officials said Monday.
Krissshy, an adult miniature schnauzer or schnoodle, hasx burns over most of her body and was living in a tiny wire crate with no access to shade, water or food, said Greater Birmingham Humane Society Chief Executive Officer Allison Black Cornelius.
“Witnesses say that they had [the owner] beating her and kicking her across the yard multiple times,” Cornelius said in a video the organization posted to Facebook on Monday evening.
Krisshy, named after the first two women to complete the U.S. Army Ranger program — Capts. Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver — also has “evidence of long-term malnourishment,” Cornelius said.
Treating Krisshy’s burns can cost up to $10,000, and the GBHS is raising funds for medical care. You can donate here.
“I’m hoping that we can announce that warrants have been issued on this individual … but we cannot tolerate this type of thing,” Cornelius said.
