Rot In Hell: 146 Dead Dogs Found In Animal Rescue Founder’s Home

[Sugar Cookie]

The FOX 8 I-Team has learned that officials with the Portage Animal Protective League’s Humane Investigations Department found 146 dead dogs inside a home during a search Friday.

Officials executed the search warrant at a Mantua home after receiving information that an animal cruelty charge was pending against the homeowner in another jurisdiction.

According to a press release issued by the Portage Animal Protective League, the homeowner is known to be a founding operator of Canine Lifeline, Inc., a nonprofit animal rescue.

Officials say no dogs were found alive and many of the dogs were found confined within their crates.

Necropsies, which are animal autopsies, will be performed to determine the dogs’ causes of death.

Canine Lifeline released a statement saying volunteers were not aware of the number of dogs harbored at the home, nor the condition of the home.

“Please know that the volunteers of Canine Lifeline are grieving this tragedy and are cooperating with the appropriate authorities,” read the statement.

The statement goes on to say, volunteers were never given access to the home, and said the organization’s operator was a “very private person who appeared, to us, to be devoted to these rescue animals; it appeared to be her life’s passion, and we are sickened and blind-sighted to learn this was a facade.”

Evil bitch

Did she live out on a farm far from neighbors? How the hell did noone smell 146 dead dogs? Obviously this person is insane. I've heard of hoarding but not hoarding dead animals.

This one is too weird. Was she killing the dogs? Taking them home to purposely let them die? Why though?

I saw an epidsode of Hoarders where a woman hoarded animals and put the bodies in a freezer after they died. She couldnt let go of them.

Well, no, you were "blindsided" by these events. "Blind-sighted" refers to a person that is able to accurately sense a light source or other visual stimuli despite being blind and unable to consciously see the source. And that's you word-nerd definition of the day.

Maybe didn't realise that she was hoarding, not herding!

Today was 2 weeks since Rocky died. I would’ve done anything to keep him here. I don’t understand how people who claim to love animals can do this. When my heart is ready I’ll definitely be adopting again.

I'm at two and a half years, and I'm just now starting to think about adopting. :-(

Barbara Wible, co-founder of nonprofit rescue organization Canine Lifeline of Macedonia, Ohio, had a pending animal cruelty charge in another jurisdiction, according to the Portage Animal Protective League’s Humane Investigations Department.

"Inside the home, the Humane Agent discovered 146 deceased dogs in varying stages of decay. No dogs were found alive. Many of the dogs were found confined within their crates," the Portage Animal Protective League said.

Authorities had responded to the home on June 2 after Wible collapsed, according to a statement from Canine Lifeline posted to the organization's website. The collapse "triggered" investigations into "evidence of ongoing fatal animal neglect" at Wible's "current" home in Parma, as well as the Mantua home.

There were some surviving dogs at Wible's Parma residence that have since been transferred to the Parma Animal Shelter.

Canine Lifeline said the organization and its staff were "shocked and horrified" to learn about the gruesome discovery.

"Please know that the volunteers of Canine Lifeline are grieving this tragedy and are cooperating with the appropriate authorities. Canine Lifeline has been an all-volunteer network of animal rescue volunteers. Since its founding, it has matched over 6,000 dogs with their forever families," the organization said.

Canine Lifeline added that Wible "was a very private person who appeared … to be devoted to these rescue animals; it appeared to be her life’s passion." The organization is "sickened and blind-sighted to learn this was a facade."

"Volunteers and adoptive families that gave their time and energy to the cause of animal welfare are now navigating feelings of bewilderment, betrayal, and grief in light of what has been learned about Wible’s secret treatment of animals," Canine Lifeline continued.

Neighbors told FOX 8 Cleveland that humane workers rescued dogs from the home last year.

The founder of a local animal rescue died while awaiting trial on nearly 200 counts of animal cruelty, after more than 150 dogs were found dead at two properties she owns, along with other neglected animals.

A Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson on Thursday confirmed Barbara Wible, 69, of Parma, died on Jan. 28, but said the office only learned of the woman’s death on Wednesday afternoon.

Prosecutors now plan to file a motion to dismiss the charges against her, the spokesperson said.

Investigators found Wible collapsed inside the home, and she was hospitalized.

ible was the co-founder of Canine Lifeline Inc., a nonprofit animal rescue, whose volunteers said they were unaware of the neglected dogs and the conditions at Wible’s home.

Workers in a statement at the time said Wible was a “very private person who appeared, to us, to be devoted to these rescue animals; it appeared to be her life’s passion, and we are sickened and blind-sighted to learn this was a façade.”

She was starving those dogs over a prolonged period of time so what ever killed her was not the cause of her neglect and torture she did to those dogs.
