Abuser Sentenced to 1 Year in Jail

In a video, a man lifted Sally up to shoulder-height and slammed the helpless puppy to the ground. Sally tried to flee, but she was unable to walk. There are many ways to fight animal cruelty—whether at the grocery store or right at your computer. Take these simple steps to continue helping animals in need. [Top Banner]( A woman brought Sally, an eight-month-old puppy, to the ASPCA with an injured hind leg, claiming the dog had fallen down the stairs. We contacted law enforcement who investigated and found video footage of how Sally was injured: a man had lifted her up and slammed her to the ground. She tried to flee but was unable to walk. [No animal should suffer as Sally did.]( The damage to her leg was so severe, our veterinary team made the difficult decision to amputate it to prevent further pain. While we helped Sally recover, we worked with law enforcement, providing forensic evidence and legal advocacy support to ensure justice was served. Sally's abuser pled guilty to felony aggravated cruelty and was sentenced to a year in jail. Thanks to you, we won justice for Sally. [But sadly, there are other cases just like hers, and we must fight to hold animal abusers accountable for their crimes.]( [Donate Button]( [Center Image]( We need you to [stand with us now for victims who have nowhere to turn]( in the face of cruelty.
