According to the
Graves County Sheriff's Office, 51-year-old Tammy Littlepage was
arrested Tuesday morning after she reportedly called the sheriff’s
office to say she was at home. Littlepage was charged with four
counts of 2nd degree animal cruelty and booked into the
Graves County Jail.
The sheriff's office received a
complaint over the weekend of possible animal cruelty. A deputy
responded to Littlepage's home on State Route 849 East in the Boaz community and reportedly found several dogs that were living in filth and in
need of medical care.
Deputies said the inside of the home was covered in feces, urine and trash. Four dogs were found inside and deputies said they were emaciated, malnourished, and at least one had mange.
The animals were seized and taken to the Graves County Animal Shelter and Mayfield Veterinary Clinic.
