Dogs Reportedly Left to Die in Urine and Feces With Untreated Injuries Deserve Justice

Target: Commonwealth Attorney of Orange County, Virginia Diana O’Connell

Goal: Prosecute dog trainer who reportedly let dogs live in their own waste with painful sores.

Some dogs suffered burned skin after twelve of them were reportedly discovered living in crates filled with their own urine and feces. A dog trainer named Shawn Michael Deehan was arrested and charged shortly afterwards. He needs to be held accountable if he is found guilty to ensure other animals will be less likely to suffer.

The dogs were reportedly found at Deehan’s dog training facility, The Perfect Dog. Police claimed that the animals did not have access to food or water. One dog needed immediate medical care after officers allegedly found severe injuries on all four of the animal’s paws. Per investigators, the dog also appeared underweight.

The dogs were seized by authorities, and Deehan now faces one count of felony animal cruelty, as well as other possible charges. Sign this petition to demand Deehan receive time in prison and that he not be allowed to work with animals if it is found he abused any dogs in his care.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Commonwealth Attorney O’Connell,

Shawn Michael Deehan was arrested shortly after police searched his dog training facility and allegedly found twelve animals without food or water living in crates filled with feces and urine. He needs to receive a tough prison sentence and further be banned from being around animals if he is found guilty of committing this serious act.

It was reported that they lived in crates with their own waste for so long that some of them developed skin burns. One of the dogs was also reportedly underweight and had serious wounds on all four paws. The animal allegedly needed to be treated by a veterinarian right away to avoid further complications. Officers took all the animals out of the facility, and Deehan was taken into custody for felony animal cruelty and may eventually also be brought up on other charges.

For these reasons, I demand you seek an appropriate punishment for Deehan and that you further do whatever possible to make sure he is not allowed to work with or be around animals if he is found guilty of neglect or abuse.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. Clearly this man should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, but more importantly, BAN MICHAEL DEEHAN FROM HAVING ANIMALS OF ANY KIND IN HIS POSSESSION FOR LIFE. Let’s be sure he can’t harm another animal again.

    • I definitely agree, I don’t understand why we have to sign all these stupid petitions when there’s laws in place to handle cases like this?!! Oh wait I know why it’s because our judges and law-enforcement people are NOT doing their job…it’s very simple!!Each dog comes with seven years of prison time it’s a felony you can’t leave an animal without access to food and water & on top of that they were ALL under weight!! This is the kind of case that makes me crazy, I should’ve been an attorney because I’d be hanging this guy…… I would bet $1 million this is not his first time doing this either🐾💔🐾💔🐾💔🐾💔

      • That is the sad true Amy. Our stupid justice system sees animals like disposable items…all these monsters should be executed!!!

      • Patricia Lamonica says:

        TOTALLY AGREE AMY!!!!! GET RID OF THE JUDGES NOT DOING THEIR JOBS!!!! HANG THIS PIECE OF SHIT TILL HE TAKES HIS LAST BREATH AND DIES!!!!!

  2. Lock the POS, sorry ass up post his picture, home address. KARMA

  3. What kind of ‘training’ was he giving to those poor dogs?
    Common sense was that the dog owners would have first checked the facility before those poor dogs were left for training? – and also weren’t their owners supposed to go check how were those poor dogs doing?
    Anyhow, Shawn Michael Deehan, should be imprisoned and his facility closed.

  4. Jackie Pflucker says:

    Shawn Michael Deehan – You deserve the death penalty, I wish it were possible.

  5. ABSOLUTLEY PUT HIM IN THE SAME CAGE…LET HIM STARVE AND LET HIM SHIT AND PISS ALL OVER HIMSELF.. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT START TO HIS PUNISHMENT. THEN MAKE HIM PAY FOR ALL THE EXPENSES THAT HAVE OR WILL OCCUR TO GET THESE ANIMALS BACK TO HEALTH. IF IT TAKES EVERYTHING THIS ASSHOLE HAS THEN DO IT!! LEAVE HIM WITH “NOTHING” TRAINING WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT.. HE “USED” PEOPLE AND ANIMALS FOR HIS SELFISH MEANS OR GAINS AND HE SHOULD PAY EVERY DIME BACK AND PAY FOR EACH ANIMAL HE ABUSED!! GET WITH IT FOLKS THIS MAN DESERVES THIS AND THEN THROW HIS WORTHLESS ASS BEHIND BARS NEVER TO HURT ANOTHER ANIMAL EVER AGAIN!

  6. Paul Conrad says:

    Only one count against him? There were twelve dogs abused. That should be TWELVE charges against this jerk. He should never be permitted to have an animal in his care again.

    • I was wondering the same thing. Why do animalS -PLURAL- only count as 1 offense but people count for individual offenses? Is that a legal thing or a lazy thing? I can’t see how hard it would be to prove all if you can prove 1, they’re all in the same situation.

  7. Patricia Williams says:

    Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute… 12 dogs, 12 charges. Each dog parent should file charges. Should be made to pay All medical bill’s and damages. No slap on the wrist. Use this to teach others that there will be consequences.
    Prosecute to the full extent of the law and speak for the voiceless.

  8. this asshole needs to be charged with a felony count for EACH dog he had in these deplorable conditions. He needs to pay for all medical care, then as he serves his felony time, it will be in a cage that is full of his shit and urine.

  9. eleanor dunkavich says:

    Should put this creep in a cage for the rest of his life sick garbage

  10. steven abbott says:

    I don’t understand how cruel people can be to not care or turn a blind eye to an animal in need.

  11. Pamela Hengst says:

    Are all 12 dogs ok? That matters most. Deehan is guilty of not one, but 12 counts of animal cruelty. He must be imprisoned for his atrocious behavior!! Never allow him to own a dog or animal related business. He is heartless and cruel. His punishment must be harsh.

  12. Paula Morgan says:

    Most of us have had children. If a diaper stays on too long it can eat away the skin in urine and in poop it is so much worse. The skin burns and bleeds. It is horribly painful. I wonder what this man would do if he actually had to sit in a cage, eliminating all over himself without food or water for as many days as he gave these animals, what would he do or say? If found guilty he needs all the punishment mentioned in the article plus never being around nor having any animal for the rest of his life. There should be a national registry for abusers. Also all states need to have the same laws for abuse to an animal, a child, or a woman. Now he will find himself without way to make a living plus being denied the pleasure of animal companionship.

  13. They need to lock the guy up and leave him without food or water! Let him sit in his own shit !! Matter of fact throw his Mom and Dad in a cage too for procreating and bringing his evil, ugly ass into this world!

  14. Max prison time for sociopath Deehan.

    Ms. O’Connell, please assure the judge in this case sees Deehan for what he is, an oxygen thief (means the cretin does not deserve to breathe).

  15. Nothing less for this piece of garbage than being left in the same situation to die.

  16. There’s no excuse for doing this to sweet animals. These kind of people deserve the same treatment! Please keep all animals away from this monster.

  17. Milley Dellavecchia says:

    Put him in a cage and let him suffer how these poor dogs did! How can it be only one charge???? He will probably give a lame ass excuse get a slap on the wrist and do it again! Don’t let him get away with his treatment of animals

  18. Totally unacceptable. This man is guilty and needs prison time . All his property, home need sold to pay for the care of these dogs . This should never, ever happen . The laws for animal abuse need a drastic change . This should be a felony. He should be classified as a felon, if he’s not already one . Judges need to do better and stop this .

  19. SADISTIC MONSTER!!! Punish this Bastard to the Fullest and never be allowed around Animals again!!! A Trainer that is a Fuck… Monster!!!
