Lana Minchew of Waycross Georgia
Adopted a cat from Petsense. Never paid any attention to the cat after she got him home. His name was Bob. Sweetest cat ever. He came to my house many times to eat, then started roaming all over the neighborhood for food. He was never allowed inside. One night he was asleep on a porch and a pit bull came up on the porch and snatched him and tore him to shreds. It was horrible. Erica's husband is Nolan. He adopted a dog from the county shelter and doesn't give that dog the time of day. Dog stays outside 24/7.
