On August 16, Screven Co Sheriff’s Office Deputy Marcus Helms responded to an incident at the dumpster at Farmdale Rd and Twin Oaks Rd in Sylvania. The witness, a teenage boy, reported that he observed an unknown man throw a small dog against the dumpster and kick the dog, before throwing her in the dumpster. The boy retrieved the dog from the dumpster and tried to give her some water. He noticed that she was bleeding from her mouth and called authorities.

Animal Control Officer Bobby Smith advised to contact the rescue organization FOSCA and that the dog needed medical attention. She was transported to Screven Veterinary Services, where Dr Pat Dyer examined and X-rayed her.
