Humane Society Steals Dog From Elderly Couple, Refuses To Return It

A charity that's supposed to protect animals is accused of doing just the opposite. A Murfreesboro dog owner says the Humane Alliance of Rutherford County took her dog, and she believes the charity's director is planning to sell it for profit. The dog owner, Freda Haddix, is disabled which keeps her home a lot. Her husband and Buddy, the black chihuahua, are her life. All she has are pictures of him now all because Haddix says she needed help house training the full blooded long haired chihuahua. She explains why she called Humane Alliance, "That's why I got in touch with Animal Alliance (Humane Alliance) to see if they knew anybody they could put me in touch with someone. Instead, Haddix says the charity director herself, Penny Jekot of Humane Alliance of Rutherford County offered to help, but said she'd need to take the dog for a while. The Haddix family says Jekot said she'd bring Buddy back after he was house broken. Then, before she walked out the door, the Haddix's say Jekot asked for one thing... their signatures. Robert Jekot says he thought the signatures were just to show she had permission to have the dog in the interim while she was working on house training. Then something strange happened according to Freda Haddix. When she asked to see what Jekot had written on the paper. this was Jekot's response, "She said there's no need I'm in a hurry. She said sign your name and I've got to go." That was the last time the Haddix family saw Buddy. Freda Haddix says she kept calling checking on Buddy's progress, "The last time I called, she said with a nasty horrible attitude, don't call back here no more. You're not getting your dog back."
