Tamira Ci Thayne, founder and CEO of Dogs Deserve Better charged with animal cruelty and neglect goes to trial on March 5th, 2013.

According to the warrants, animals are being maced and tased on a regular basis. The seizure report reflects that one taser and nine cans of Mace were confiscated from the Surry County property.

Also taken into evidence was an invoice for the purchase of the Mace. The paperwork further states that Thaynes dogs were being kept in unsuitable size crates, a minimum of 19 hours a day unless it is raining outside, then they are crated even longer.

The warrant goes on to allege that sick and injured dogs were not receiving veterinary care. Animals with bloody, runny and watery stools were said to have been continually dewormed instead of
taken to a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
