- Pennsylvania, USA -
Investigators with the Pennsylvania SPCA charged 30-year-old CAITLIN MICHELLE PERRY with aggravated cruelty to animals in connection with the death of a miniature Pitbull-type dog named Archie.
PERRY is the owner of Wiggle Butts Co. which she runs out of her home on Houston Street in Lancaster County.
Archie was being fostered by PERRY and at one point, as PERRY left her house to go to a neighbor’s home, Archie was attacked by PERRY’s dogs. When PERRY went back home,
she found Archie hypothermic and bleeding with numerous bites.
PERRY contacted a friend of hers who works at the Humane Society of Harrisburg who advised PERRY to take Archie to an emergency animal hospital. PERRY told her friend that she did not have the money and her friend recommended euthanizing him. PERRY explained that she had found an adopting family for Archie, so she declined euthanizing him and said that she wanted to wait.
PERRY’s friend then picked up Archie and took him to her home in an attempt to nurse him back to health. Archie was gravely injured and sadly succumbed to the injuries he sustained.
PERRY’s friend then reached out to the PSPCA and explained what happened. She took Archie’s body to the shelter for a necropsy and told the PSPCA that in the past there had been other animal attacks at PERRY’s home.
The necropsy determined that Archie died of shock, blood loss, and pain from the bite wounds. The results noted that despite the severity of the injuries, prompt intervention might have saved him.
On May 8, 2024, the Pennsylvania SPCA charged PERRY with aggravated cruelty to animals by causing serious bodily injury or death, torture.
PERRY is free on $25,000 unsecured bail. Court records show that she is due back at Lancaster County District Court on June 14, 2024, at 1:30 p.m.

G-d bless Archie. This little fella deserved so much better. CAITLIN MICHELLE PERRY should not ever be allowed to ‘foster’ any other animals & the authorities better check on the dogs that remain in her home. RIP ARCHIE!
