Teresa Gay Counce, either in collaboration with a relative or due to addiction, is an animal hoarder. She previously had 82 dogs...yes, 82 dogs...seized from her Lauderdale property; now she's been caught with 29 more in a hot, ramshackle shed.
The dogs have gone to the Florence shelter. Fosters are needed. Food is needed. Prayers are needed. Better laws are needed.
She called herself Bluey or Baby Bluey. Her legal name is Teresa Gay Counce, but she has used the name Teresa Gay Conner. Her official date of birth is 1953, making her 71/72. If that's correct, she's seen a lot of smoking, drinking, and sunning in her life. Does that sound cruel? Then think about what she's done to countless dogs who couldn't defend themselves.
On Tuesday, Counce was arrested on 82 counts of animal cruelty and promptly posted bond of $41K. We had previously been told to expect two more arrests in this case; however, now we're hearing only one more accomplice will be charged.
Whoever has helped this woman deserves the same charges as she is facing. Let's hope that arrest comes quickly.
