Amy Moolic Has Crazy Eyes, Lots of Dogs
January 17, 2008 by impqueen
Salem, New Hampshire – Police in New Hampshire are trying to figure out why the hell Amy Moolic, 32, had 22 dogs in her Jeep Cherokee this week. Make that nineteen dogs, and three corpses.
Moolic and another woman were traveling from Maine back home to Massachusetts when they stopped at a Wal-Mart. An off-duty police dispatcher at the store overheard the women talking about some dead dogs in their car and alerted authorities, pointing out Moolic and her companion as they left the Wally World.
On opening the vehicle, police found several cat-sized crates, each with three to six dogs crammed inside. At least three of the dogs were dead. Moolic claimed that she was “rescuing” some of the Shih-Tzus, Chihuahuas and Lhasa Apsos from a puppy mill in Somerville, Maine. She couldn’t explain why she brought ten of her own dogs along for the 150-mile ride.
On being questioned, Moolic became “belligerent and confrontational”. I guess arresting her didn’t help the crazy very much, because her mug shot looks like Wingnut On Parade. She was charged with disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer, and all the dogs were taken into protective custody. One officer was wounded when a dog bit the crap out of his chin.
Moolic bonded out on $500 cash a short time later under the “Please Take Your Crazy And Get Out Of Our State” law. Some reports say that she even got to take four of the dogs with her. Now that she’s gone, authorities are contacting Maine and Massachusetts to see if any other laws have been broken, and bloggers the world over have a great mug shot to play with.

Holy hairline batshitcrazyman! Think she has the mange too?
7:00 pm on January 17th, 2008
She sure does look happy as fuck in the photo….maybe her meds finally kicked in?
7:43 pm on January 17th, 2008
This is a woman with a mission — one that no one else in the world understands. I wonder what happened with the other woman.
8:56 pm on January 17th, 2008
Probably beaten senseless by their imaginary friend….
9:00 pm on January 17th, 2008
Guys…she probably is on meds. Check this out…

Well, this one is in MY neck of the woods — finally a crime not in Missouri! — and I’m going to go do some snooping around and see if I can find out more.
10:52 pm on January 17th, 2008
This is NOT put up as a defense to her, but I do know directly who Amy is. I just want to get a few things straight and not be torn apart by bloggers for saying this.
The dead dogs (one adult, and two puppies) were in fact hers. They died of natural causes, and were frozen so she could bury them at her MA home.
I know she doesn’t take meds, so I cant really explain the photo.
Finally, the rescuing part is very real. She is a breeder and owns and cares for several types of dogs and cats, all of which in my opinion, look perfectly healthy to me.
I just wish that people would not simply make stuff up or post dumb things like obituary’s of her dead parent, before they turn a story into something that looks like it just came off of 4-chan.
11:05 pm on January 17th, 2008
maybe you should not speak if you don’t know WHO you’re talking to. You don’t know a goddamn thing about me and the reason I posted that link is out of SYMPATHY for her. To tell you the truth…if I were her I would have had a nervous breakdown!
11:08 pm on January 17th, 2008
Before the picture, she did. I’m sorry, I dint know it was out of sympathy.

wow those stories on the forum are sickening

Um, welcome to Dreamin’ Demon, where we can be really nice, but those who mouth off at our various beatdown techniques may be fed to the wolves in a kindly, unassuming manner until all their body parts stack up neatly by the fireplace for use at a later time. You seem nice, so we probably won’t do that to you, but if you’re looking for warm fuzzies you are totally in the wrong place.
Thanks for the info, but why was she traveling with seriously ill animals in such cramped conditions? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to care for her sick animals at home before running off to rescue more?
I appreciate your honesty. I don’t think anyone can explain those eyes without the use of a DSM-IV for coding purposes.
From the sound of Sariee’s link, many of Amy’s animals were in really rough shape as far back as May. The police report seems to indicate the same thing last week. Call it rescuing, call it collecting, call it whatever, but these kind of heinous animal treatment reports don’t just fall out of the sky. Dead = not healthy.
Who’s making stuff up? Me? The New Hampshire police? The linked report from May? All of us? C’mon.
As to the dead mother, Ashdavus was being nice and trying to find reasons for the crazy eyes. I saw the obit, I just wasn’t sweet enough to post it.
If i wanted this story to look like 4chan i’d have lolcatted Amy’s mugshot. “I can has Haldol?” might have been an appropriate caption.
9:23 am on January 18th, 2008
Listen. The chick looks bugged out. And CRAZY, if you ask me. Anyone driving in a Jeep with all them animals MUST be fucking crazy!
Breeders DO NOT, drive around with 22 animals crammed into a Jeep!
9:30 am on January 18th, 2008
Vegaobscura – say what you will, but nothing will convince me that this woman is nothing short of inhumane and disgusting.
If she were rescuing dogs from Maine, en route home to MA, why would she have her *own* dogs with her, especially dead dogs? Maine isn’t that far from MA (I live here & visit Maine many times a year). It doesn’t add up.
To the rest of the folks – hello! I’ve been reading for a while but was compelled to register after reading about this piece of work : )
9:44 am on January 18th, 2008
Welcome Sariee! Nice linkage, by the way
10:30 am on January 18th, 2008
Did she play Smeagol from Lord of the Rings…”precious collect puppies for Shih-Tzus Stew, Chihuahuas Chimichangas & Lhasa Apsos Linguini…”
11:32 am on January 18th, 2008
I can answer most of the questions, because I asked Amy myself. I don’t know her extremely well, but I have spent many hours on the phone with her due to a mutual friend and I have met her personally several times.
Her eyes: She had been up for nearly two days (no motels will let you in with that many dogs!) and was crying when the mugshots were taken and the cops took a TON of them. In this one the cop taking them told her to open her eyes wide. Since it was probably the worst looking one, it is the one the police chose to make public. She also has naturally large eyes, so when she opened her eyes, probably wider than necessary because the cop was being a PITA, she ended up looking like that.
Her hairline: Not everyone can have a perfect head of hair.
Her overall appearance: She really doesn’t look like the picture–this looks more like corpse-Amy than real Amy.
Meds: No, she’s not on any meds, legal or otherwise. Although after this experience it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s in therapy for years.
Her Mission: She really is a breeder and an animal rescuer. She just wanted to bring these dogs home and find them homes. However ill-advised stuffing that many dogs into one car is, let’s remember that it was just for a short trip. Animals are stuffed into small containers to be transported via airplane all the time.
The Other Woman: She’s going on vacation out of country and has left Amy holding the bag.
Dead dogs: The dead dogs in question were not in a kennel in the car. They were wrapped in plastic in a separate box. They were frozen (they died months ago) and being brought home for cremation. I’m not really clear on this, but they were apparently at a different location.
The Obituary: Her mother died about 3 weeks ago.
Brittany: I’m sure she’ll love that comment, I’ll mention it to her.
VegaObscura: I know him, too. This guy is not the type of person to defend anyone without just cause, he just doesn’t get involved. The mere fact that he piped up here is amazing.
Her animals: This befuddled me, too, so I asked her about it. She said it wasn’t 10 of them, and she brought them along like you would bring children–someone needed to care for them, and it is difficult to find a babysitter for several puppies. They were not ill.
The health of the new animals: Since she didn’t have them until the night prior, she can’t really be held responsible for their health until that point–she was in the Wal-Mart buying pet medication for goodness’ sake!
The stinky car: Puppies, like human babies, don’t have bladder control. Even if you stop every 20 minutes to let them out (she did stop frequently), one or more of them is bound to pee as soon as you put them back in the car. In my experience, just ONE puppy makes a big stink overnight, never mind that many of them!
Sariee’s link: Amy told me about this several months ago when it happened. Someone STOLE a cat from her! The woman walked right into her home while Amy was away and a friend was there watching the animals and walked out with a very expensive cat. That’s not caring, that’s called a felony. Amy should have brought her up on charges. The first woman I just don’t believe entirely. If you go into a home and your sister runs outside and pukes, you don’t go giving the homeowner your animals and then taking one of them with you. Further, the police never investigated Amy back then as far as I know, so I find it unlikely at best that the woman did call the police. But the basic situation did occur. A woman bought a cat from Amy and the cat became ill. Whether it was ill before or after it left the home, I have no idea.
I don’t personally know about the condition of her home. I haven’t been inside. I know two people who have–one of them was unimpressed on her one visit, the other has been there several times and even spent weekends there and indicates that conditions were always fine.
11:38 am on January 18th, 2008
Cymbir,
Damn. Thanks.
11:43 am on January 18th, 2008
Maybe it will make her day. I’m sure she could use a little cheer at this point. Thanks for your input cymbir.
As far as the forum stories…I don’t put too much faith in that sort of stuff. If you go to ripoffreport.com and browse around the animal abusers you’ll find a pattern of animal breeders bashing one another. I figure that perhaps she’s another victim of this childish habit.
11:45 am on January 18th, 2008
I forgot to mention that one article I read DID, in fact, state the animals that she identified as her own all appeared well-groomed and cared for.
1:07 pm on January 18th, 2008
Except for the dead ones, I guess. I can understand that if they died months ago and she was transporting them in a different area of the car, that makes some sense. Did she pick them up pre-frozen at the puppy mill? If so, why were her own animals at a puppy mill in the first place?
I can’t get around the crowded conditions in the Jeep. Even *if* the May report is totally bogus, why did she have up to six dogs in cat-sized carriers in her Jeep? The police say that several of the crates had “over five” dogs EACH. Even if they were chihuahua puppies, that’s freakin’ crowded, unsafe and abusive. No airline allows that kind of crowding, and 150 miles isn’t that short a trip, especially with stops.
1:25 pm on January 18th, 2008
i agree that the crowding was a BAD idea. I think that, combined with the other circumstances(lack of sleep, recent loss of parent, etc) that lead to what they say was a belligerent attitude with the officers is likely why she was arrested. Everything I’ve read said they did not think there was any abuse and she was allowed to immediately reclaim 4 of the dogs. Will be interesting to see how this one urns out.
1:26 pm on January 18th, 2008
oohh…BAD TYPO… turns out, not urns out
2:06 pm on January 18th, 2008
Cymbir — Thanks for posting. Please let her know that it is special work that she does in rescuing animals. I know that I do not have the guts. I try to help in indirect ways such as knitting afghans for fund-raisers and working on spay-neuter situations.
That is one heck of a photo. I hope someday she can laugh about it. I have some photos of myself that are so awful that they make me laugh.
2:21 pm on January 18th, 2008
Thanks for all of that information and I *hope* that it is true, and that Amy is really doing a good thing, but I stand my ground –> I don’t buy it.
Even if the woman stole the cat, why would she publicly announce that she owned one of Amy’s cats? That’s like stealing an X-Box from someone, and then publicly complaining that they sold you a broken one. Also, two different people commented on the conditions of her house in that article. I, myself, just adopted two wonderful kittens from a breeder in NH, and the living conditions there (of just kittens!) were beyond disgusting. I feel dirty just thinking about it. Raising animals is a tough job. If she has as many animals as I’m led to believe, 22 more would certainly not remedy a bad situation!
The road to hell is often paved by good intentions, no? Regardless of her intentions with these animals, good vs. bad, the end result is clearly unacceptable. And regardless of it all, I’m sorry about her personal loss and any other life occurrences that may have put her in her current situation.
2:43 pm on January 18th, 2008
I’ve refrained from posting on this thread – because I am an avid lover/protector of those without voices…kids & animals. But I can’t take it anymore….
Anyone with an ounce of common sense & true good intentions does not cram multiple puppies in 1 crate. Then stack multiple crates in her car. No matter how damn far she was going! Rent a u-haul, get a friend to help, make multiple trips… come on! And the frozen dead dogs??? Couldn’t they have been worthy of a second trip? Instead of piling them in too?!
Rescue work is admirable – heart-breaking – thankless. But you do it to SAVE the animals – not take them from one life-threatening situation into another. If she took her own “healthy” dogs & put them in the same car as potentially sick dogs, then that’s just neglectful & stupid.
(I’m almost done…then someone can borrow my soapbox)
Lastly… if her home really is THAT gross & the conditions that BAD, then she is not rescuing but running a mill operation. Which leads me to my final point…
Sariee… you are just as bad and perpetuate mill conditions for cats/dogs if you purchase from a breeder. You may have thought you were “helping” get them out of there… but all you did was put more money in the breeder’s hand, make them think their is a market for more puppies/kittens, and sentence another animal to an unecessary litter in a cruel situation.
*whew* done.
3:01 pm on January 18th, 2008
I am an advocate of adopting from the local humane society. Even that is not always a prime place for animals. We had a dog adopted from a shelter who nearly died due to the fact that she was spayed with unsterile instruments. The vet who cared for her contacted the vet who had done surgeries that week at that shelter and was told there were multiple infected animals and that they would NEVER perform surgeries there again. Needless to say, our vet called the state and an unannounced inspection was planned.
3:15 pm on January 18th, 2008
All my dogs are rescue adoptions…local humane society or legit rescue operations I have researched. I would rather take a grown dog that needs a second chance than help fund irresponsible breeding. All 3 dogs I’ve rescued thus far? Already housetrained, love kids & have become wonderful additions to our family. Too many people buy & dump (or as this site shows, people themselves breed & dump kids)… rescue a dog that needs a second chance & these shithole puppy mills etc will cease to exist.
Just like everything else in this world (prostitution, drugs) – erase the market… STOP BUYING … and it will disappear. Keep buying, it stays around.
OMG – sorry – I got on that soapbox again…
3:16 pm on January 18th, 2008
3:17 pm on January 18th, 2008
3:32 pm on January 18th, 2008
Preach on…I’m in total agreement. Rescued dogs are the most loyal, loving pets you can possibly have. It’s as if they knew you saved them from a life of hell and they owe you big time. It gives you the warm fuzzies to look into that furry face & know they are happy as hell to be with you! I avoid pet shops as well because I’m so damn mad by the time I leave. I guess in a way you could consider animals purchased from pet stores, breeders, puppy mills, etc. a rescue of sorts in its own right, but you’re still contributing to the heartbreaking business. Sorry, I climbed up on the old soapbox as well.
3:32 pm on January 18th, 2008
Cymbir’s post should be an education for everyone who cares about animals.
Her post is a perfect example of how puppy and kitten breeders cover their tracks.
Lies, lies, lies and more lies. Excuses. Rationalizations.
False claims of rescue.
And the false claim of “theft” is one that nearly every breeding miller uses when someone accuses them of cruelty and abuse.
They accuse the accuser.
This is such a tired tactic. They use it all the time.
The puppy and kitten mill breeding business is all about deception- hiding businesses in multiple locations, getting no licenses, paying no taxes, hiding the animals from view. Hiding, hiding, hiding illegal activity.
And they try to cover their tracks with these excuses and lies.
There is no rescue. It’s a breeding business.
3:37 pm on January 18th, 2008
One of the problems in shutting down the breeding mills is that the public can sometimes be easily misled by false claims of “rescue” or all the other stuff.
The mill breeders want sympathy, they want confusion. They want people to let them off the hook so they can go back to business.
As long as we let them, the suffering will continue.
And anyone who encounters a mill breeder can do something about it. You’ve got report these things! You’ve got to get the word out. Orrthese operations juust keep on abusing these animals, hidden.
3:47 pm on January 18th, 2008
Why do puppy and kitten millers abuse animals? Because they raise animal as cheaply as possible to maximize profits.
And they hide the businesses because not only are they breaking all kinds of local and state codes and laws and everything else, but they hide income because they don’t pay a dime in taxes!
3:53 pm on January 18th, 2008
This site will break your heart, but will give anyone that cares an peek into why you should not buy from a pet store, etc.
http://www.stoppuppymills.org/
There are some disturbing pics and stories on there.
5:19 pm on January 18th, 2008
To my knowledge, none of the things I posted were lies–I posted only those things I had personal knowledge of. I really don’t know where the dead dogs were, I do know she had friends in that area of Maine that she was visiting while she went to get the puppies. I have no idea if they were at the puppy mill or not or even if there was a puppy mill because I wasn’t there with her.
With regard to the stolen cat, the woman herself admitted to stealing the cat publicly on the forum in question, so I don’t think that is really an issue.
I do know that Amy is a genuinely nice person and I would trust her with my human children, not just animals.
I also believe that when you argue on the Internet, even if you win you’re still a loser, so I refuse to do so. In fact, this is the first time I’ve joined a conversation in this manner in over 5 years–that’s how strongly I feel about what a bum deal Amy is getting.
5:32 pm on January 18th, 2008
cymbir, you’re hear trying to cover for Amy.
And trying to spread slime about a witness to animal abuse.
However, interesting.
You now say that Amy had friends in Maine where she went? So the puppy mill operator in Maine was her friend?
5:35 pm on January 18th, 2008
Puppy mills don’t just sell through pet stores.
They also sell through websites, classifieds (online and newspaper) and even word of mouth. Also flea markets.
5:46 pm on January 18th, 2008
I am here simply to make statements. And I’m not trying to spread slime about anyone. I was going to quote the person who said she herself had stolen a cat from Amy, but I can’t find the post. Either it has been removed or I saw it somewhere else–I thought it was between the two long posts on that MySpace message board. Anyway, I was talking about a woman who said she was angry and had obtained access to Amy’s house and stole a cat. She used that word–”stole.”
However, since I cannot find the proof I thought I had, I retract the statement.
Amy does have friends in Maine–as do probably several hundred thousand people in New England. I have no idea if the puppy mill operator was her friend or, indeed, as I said in my previous post whether there was a puppy mill at all. I made only statements of which I had personal knowledge.
I also know that as of yesterday Amy was too upset to even look at a computer since she’s been told that she’s being crucified, so that’s probably why she isn’t here or somewhere else defending herself.
5:51 pm on January 18th, 2008
cymbir – based on this, you’d let your kids in her house? and you also admit never having been actually inside her home – but still you’d leave your kids with her? hope we don’t read about something happening to your kids next on this site….
(sorry – too much rotten news on a friday making me ornery…)
5:52 pm on January 18th, 2008
The post to which you refer is actually on page two of the forum, about halfway down just below the post announcing Amy’s arrest. It was posted by forum member Steph is Empty.
6:00 pm on January 18th, 2008
Actually, one of my kids is one of the people I know that has been in her house–so yes, I would let my kids into her house. If he tells me that her house isn’t crap-covered then I have to believe him. He has no vested interest in lying about it.
There is a video online somewhere that I watched last night that was shot in her house. It was supposed to be on WMUR last night but apparently got booted due to the severe storm warning and a gas truck rollover. The small bit of the house didn’t look too bad, and you’d think if the reporters who were in the house were grossed out they would have made that very public.
6:24 pm on January 18th, 2008
Then your kids must be older? B/c you said you’d never been there AND you only talked to her on the phone… so I’m just wondering ….?
6:33 pm on January 18th, 2008
Yes, some of my kids are older. The one in question is a foster child and was at her house several times in the company of his mother.
6:48 pm on January 18th, 2008
OK… before anyone jumps on that last post… his mother was not deemed incompetent by the courts–she asked me to be her son’s guardian because she is unable to care for him directly right now due to her financial situation. She is still very much a part of his life.
7:12 pm on January 18th, 2008
What troubles me is she is suppose to love and care about animals and do all these wonderful rescues….she would not be transporting that many animals so unsafely. My SIL is involved with Pug rescue and they treat the animals like gold. We had to take a trip to the airport to pick one up that was on its way to Washington state. And mind you the dog was not cargo. It had a seat purchased for it, and it came from the east coast and because they have very strict rules about how many hours the animals can fly the dog , the woman that flew with it handed the dog over to my SIL and the dog had to stay over at her house before the last leg of the flight.
So I do not believe that she was a loving and caring person, she is a nutjob who collected animals with out having the proper facilities to care for nor transport them.
that and she has really bad hair. please tell me she did not do that to herself on purpose…
7:59 pm on January 18th, 2008
I don’t think that stuffing all those dogs into the care was the wisest thing to do… but she couldn’t exactly go get each one of them individually and fly it home all belted into its own airplane seat–she’s not Melinda Gates. Perhaps she bit off more than she could chew. I don’t know. I’m not her and I don’t know exactly what facilities she has but I know she’s not floating in cash any more than most of the rest of us are.
She wasn’t happy herself about stuffing the dogs into such small crates–she even used that word in the newscast. But she felt that the end justified the means and that the animals, which were flea-ridden, malnourished, and ungroomed, were better off crammed into crates for a trip back to MA than being where they were. They were probably slightly more comfortable than coach-class airplane passengers… minus the puppy pee.
The times I’ve met her, her hair didn’t look like that at all–it was clean, combed, and pulled back into a ponytail and she had much less apparent forehead. She just has a really high hairline–like some people have widow’s peaks. I know she didn’t decide to look awful for the mugshot on purpose. … It’s not like she got up 3 days earlier and said, “Gee, I’m going to go up to Maine to get a lot of dogs, go into Wal-Mart on my way home, meet a police dispatcher from Boston and tell her about the dogs and then get arrested for disorderly conduct. I better make sure I look really awful so people think the worst of me.”
Almost nobody PLANS to get arrested and then look like crap in the mugshot, but an amazing number of mugshots look like crap… getting arrested is, I assume (I’ve never been arrested so I wouldn’t know firsthand), a rather stressful process in which one’s hair might get a bit mussed.
That’s probably why when we see a bad photo we say, “Man, your license/ID/whatever photo looks like a mugshot!” I know MY license photo looks HORRIBLE–I was 6 months pregnant and unusually pizza-faced (hormones suck!) at the time… I wished I could go back a decade and a half and use my beautiful 16 year old license photo!
I am certainly not going to argue about whether what she did was dumb or not–we all have our moments. But I can only say for sure that prior to the trip she was cheery and excited about it and had only the best intentions.
Let’s remember, stupidity isn’t illegal and so far the only thing she’s been charged with is having a fit at a cop.
