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]

This CRUEL TRAINER SHOULD BE MADE TO LIFE IN THESE HORRRIBLE CONDITIONS INNA FECES COVERED WIRE CAGE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MRDICAL TREATMENT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE as he made his INNOVENT DOGS!!!!
Sounds good to me!!
This happened within an hour of where I live, about an hour south of Washington DC. So this hit close to home. This man, supposedly in a business to help dog owners, neglected his own dogs. It’s ridiculous. I’ve said it 1000 times….humans are the worst animals on this planet. Until our attitudes change, we will continue to read stories of animal abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, etc. We must start caring about each other, help our neighbors, help a stranger, before any marked change will take place.
Yes. I couldn’t agree more
LISA MOLDER I totally agree with you and everything you wrote. Humans are definitely THE WORST ANIMAL ON THIS PLANET, BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS. PEPPER.
MUST RESCUE INNOCENT ANIMALS FROM THAT “EVIL DEMONS PROPERTY” ASAP‼️ KARMA TO THAT “CRUEL BEING”‼️
Humans are the alpha species on the planet. Which means, that among other things, we are thought to have evolved to be kind, caring, humane beings.
Why then do we allow such cruelty and neglect to be visited upon animals.
I have love in my heart. Not revenge against the perpetrators of such acts. Revenge has not fixed the problem. It breaks my heart. So With love, persistence, education, enforcement and prayers it is my deepest hope that we can all begin to treat our animal friends with kindness and humanity.
PUT THAT HORRIBLE MONSTER IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS IN HIS OWN URINE AND FILLED WITH FECCES. DO NOT GIVE HIM WATER OR FOOD. NO MERCY.
Commonwealth Attorney of Orange County, Virginia Diana O’Connell
PLEASE NAIL THIS BASTARD TO THE WALL!!!!! HE MUST PAY. BAN HIM FOR LIFE FROM EVER BEING NEAR ANOTHER ANIMAL.
MAXIMUM CHARGES AND FINES 12 TIMES OR FOR EACH DOG THAT SUFFERED!!!! DO NOT DROP THE BALL …!!!!
THIS DISREGARD FOR AN ANIMALS’ LIFE MUST BE TAKEN AS SERIOUSLY AS IF THEY WERE A HUMAN!!!! DAMN IT!!! THESE ARE GOD’S CREATURES.
Shawn Michael DeehaN I HOPE YOUR LIFE FROM HERE FORWARD HAS THE SAME TRAGEDIES THAT YOU ALLOWED YOUR SWEET DOGS TO SUFFER THROUGH. …THE SOONER THE BETTER!!
IF he’s found guilty? Of course he’s guilty! These animals were found on his premises. The dogs didn’t do it to themselves! This evil POS scum needs locking up for a very long time and banned FOR LIFE from ever going near any animal. Law makers need to do so much more to punish these sub human bastards and protect animals!
Exactly. Law makers NEED to do so much more. Signing petitions and being aware of the cruelty that animals go thru is great,but,WE can’t help animals by ourselves. We need the Law makers on our side as well. Stricter punishement and harsher fines and give ANIMALS some help here! That way we don’t have to keep reading about trash like this abuser.
Prison time & heavy fines are a must for this subhuman. When he is released force him to pay more fines to an animal rescue.
Lock this piece of shit in a cage till he perishes. Cheap, easy & fitting punishment.
This man should be punished to the fullest extent of the law
and NEVER allowed to possess another animal of any kind!
As a former state humane investigator, I saw much cruelty, but
it seems that things get worse for the animals, rather
than better!

This guy is not even a human being much less a dog trainer. Most definitely prison time is deserved here. He need not be around any animals ever again.
Let this trash live through the same as what they put these living breathing emotional loyal creatures through.
Please punish to the fullest extent of the law
He should be sentenced to the same conditions that the poor dogs were. Give this degenerate an experience that gives him understanding of just how heinous his actions were! JUSTICE!!!!
Diana – I sign several of these types of Petitions on a weekly basis and I’ve got to tell you – quite a bit of them stem from the state of Virginia. The time has come for Prosecutors to hand down the harshest penalties possible for animal abusers/murderers. Life is Life and the atrocities committed against the Animal Kingdom need to be taken seriously! Please!
Dog trainer? What a pos
Dog trainer? What an evil pos
This sad excuse of a human, Deehab, should be left to soak and rot in his own waste til his demise. Instead he move to another town after this and beca “dog trainer” all over again. May his evil doing catch up to him ASAP.
Only one count of animal cruelty he should be charged for each dog. If I had my way he’d be in the cage with no food or water POS
This BITCH had better be PUNISHED for this cruelty!!!!!!!!!!!!
Law enforcement do your job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the punishment MUST fit the crime and this is a crime.
These innocent dogs deserve justice !
