- North Carolina, USA -
The execution of a search warrant at a home on 413 Hobson Drive in Mocksville, led to the discovery of eleven (11) starved dogs and the arrest of 30-year-old NATHAN LEE TANNER (pictured).
On September 13, 2024, deputies with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services executed the search warrant and found eleven “emaciated Chihuahua type dogs”, according to a news release by the sheriff’s office.
One of the dogs had to be transported to a local veterinarian for immediate treatment, while the other ten were taken to Davie County Animal Shelter.
The sheriff’s office tells me that no animals were found deceased and none of the rescued dogs were euthanized. The furvictim who was rushed to the vet was considered “in guarded condition.”
In a Facebook post, Davie County Animal Shelter wrote:
“We recently took in 11 small breed dogs from a cruelty case. They are all very sick and will be in care for a while before they will be available for adoption. Even having been through what they have, they are all loving, friendly dogs. We would greatly appreciate donations of canned dog food. They all need to gain weight and canned food is the easiest for them to accept. Any brand, as long as it is canned, they are chowing down on everything.
If you are able, donations can be dropped off at the shelter, 291 Eaton Rd., Mocksville, NC 27028 or shipped here if that is more convenient. Thank you for your support!”
Warrants have been issued on TANNER for one felony count for cruelty to animals and ten misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals.
According to the sheriff’s office, TANNER received no bond on the release order due to other charges in other counties. He is scheduled to appear at Davie District Court on September 26, 2024.

Just how difficult is it to feed chihuahuas?! It’s the age old question of why get responsibilities when one does not take care & tend to these precious souls?! I pray for the wee soul in the hospital to get better & to the other wee souls that they get better & are placed in loving homes.
