To set the record strait, we were the ones who enacted the arrest/search warrant, because of them getting our Doberman under false pretences. The article posted above is accurate. After 4 days of giving the doby to them they posted him on craigslist for sale for the amount of $300 using the same pictures that we emailed them. As David states in his email to another member here, he was not directly involved with the phone conversations per say, but we don’t know who was behind the emails in which we used as proof to the Allen parish Sheriffs dept. We never intended to have them arrested, we asked for the dog back numerous times and after posting on craigslist to stop them from selling the dog to others we began receiving emails that they were the same people running “Happy Hounds Rescue” which turned out to be a fake animal rescue, (which the website has been taken down as of right now thanks to a response from our emails to web domain holder) the phone number on the website matched the number we had for this couple therefore we knew it was the same people. A couple emails later we learned from another source that this couple owned “High End Herps” snake farm which we too verified. After that it didn’t take much to figure out that they very well might be feeding dogs and cats to the snakes. With this in mind my wife was determined to get the doby back. So she set out on a campaign to anyone who would listen, newspaper, news, radio and also the Sheriffs’ dept.
When we were asked if the dog was obtained using false information we said yes and proved it with printed emails from Tawani, although we knew her as Jenny at the time. So they seem to both love using fake names for a reason.
Once the search warrant was issued we were called in to come get the doby and were able to view the property just hours after they raided it. So For Mr. David “what’s his name” to say that the police messed up the property is ludicrous. Animals that were found on the property were in cages way too small for the cats and dogs. Including our own doby who was in cage so small he could not even stand up. We saw this property first hand and the deploring conditions in which they and the animals lived. No running water in pipes, water hoses were used instead, no working toilets or showers on the property. When deputies asked where they used the bathroom or bathed they replied “ anywhere we can” Bones and skulls of animals laid all over the property, leading us to believe they fed the snakes whatever the snakes could swallow. When asked what they feed the snakes he replied “ rabbits” although no rabbits were found just frozen Guinea pigs in the freezer.
All the cats that were seized, were pregnant. Leading us to believe once again the kittens would be used for food. One of the dogs perished on the way to the humane society, and another had to be put down due to malnutrition and lack of care of both. Once in the police noticed the size of several of the snakes which lead them to call wildlife and fisheries for lack of permits on snakes over 12 ft. in which they were charged.
The ammonia smell on the property was very overwhelming, this is first hand account, by us. So don’t let Mr. and Mrs what there name is, fool you. His bail was delayed because he gave false names to the sheriffs dept. Which come to find out he was wanted in Arizona, which you all seem to already know, but they don’t want him for such minor charges. So I do believe his blow out sell is for either leaving Louisiana, Or paying the forthcoming fines ahead. Anyway we now are determined to stop these liars, and scammers, although we didn t know what we getting into at the time we did ask for the dog back several times and they refused. If you go to

There you will see pictures as wildlife and fisheries were helping with the removal of the non permited snakes. Everything I am saying can be verified by By Detective Ben Perkins of the Allen parish sheriffs dept. and or the Human society of West Louisiana.
