Floyd County Animal Control Sgt. Kelan Freeman charged 38-year-old NICHOLAS PAUL LITTLEJOHN (pictured), with animal cruelty after two dogs were found severely neglected at a residence on Wheeling Drive in Rome.
The affidavit obtained by Voice For Us identified the dogs as Chupacabra and Phantom.
Last month, Chupacabra and Phantom were found with a body condition of 2 out of 9, on the Purina Body Condition Scale. They suffered from muscle atrophy with their ribs, lumbar vertebrae and pelvic bones easily visible.
According to the affidavit, Chupacabra had a heart murmur, Grade 5 out of 6, with a palpable thrill, most likely severe mitral valve disease.
The furvictim was suffering from severe gingivitis and dental tartar with the strong possibility of requiring extraction of several teeth. Additionally, Chupacabra has bilateral nuclear sclerosis.
Phantom had skin sunken in around the ribs.
LITTLEJOHN was arrested on November 22, 2024, and charged with two felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.
The affidavit did not contain additional information about the dogs, such as their age, breed, and gender, so I emailed Katheryn Walters, Director of Public Animal Welfare Services (P.A.W.S.), hoping to obtain some answers, some pictures, and the dogs’ current well-being.
As usual, I did not get a response from her. However, I was able to learn that Chupacabra and Phantom are in the P.A.W.S. facility and are doing very well.
