Both Lakemore family, Akron woman want Shih Tzu that wound up at shelter
By Kathy Antoniotti
Beacon Journal staff writer
POSTED: 03:50 p.m. EST, Jan 22, 2009
A fight over a 10-pound Shih Tzu named Gizmo is causing heartaches for the Lakemore family that lost him and headaches for the Summit County Animal Control facility that properly allowed the dog to be adopted.
Tonya Graves, an Akron woman who adopted the dog Jan. 5, claimed the dog at the shelter Wednesday.
Ron Prior, 51, of Lakemore, was fostering the dog for his daughter when it went missing Dec. 29. He says the situation is his fault because he made a series of missteps.
''I put him on his retractable leash and hooked him outside,'' said the part-time University of Akron employee. When he checked on the dog a few minutes later, Prior said, the 2-year-old dog was gone.
He says his biggest mistake was not getting Gizmo licensed when the dog moved back into his home near the end of November.
''This all could have been avoided if the dog had been licensed,'' said Craig Stanley, director of administrative services for the shelter.
Brandi Prior, 22, asked her dad to keep Gizmo until she could get her life back together following a year of life-altering events.
She said things started unraveling when she lost her job and her home last year. She said money problems were the root of the subsequent breakup with her fiance. On Easter, the young woman suffered a miscarriage and doctors told her she would never be able to have children.
Prior moved into her sister's Canton home and went back to school, but was not allowed to keep Gizmo at the rental property.
''I feel if I was there, things would have been different. I won't feel so guilty if I do everything I can to try to get him back,'' a tearful Brandi said today.
The day Gizmo ran off, the father and daughter began a two-day search, putting up fliers and questioning people who might have seen him.
It wasn't until Jan. 2 that Ron Prior asked his cousin to go with him to the animal shelter to see whether Gizmo had been found and taken there.
Twice, Prior said, he and his cousin walked the aisles. They did not find the tiny dog among those housed at the shelter.
''There were a lot of cages and a lot of dogs here,'' Christine Fatheree, Summit County animal control manager, said Wednesday.
If Prior had brought Gizmo's photo and description to the shelter, workers might have identified the dog, she said.
''Normally, we'll check them and call if it matches the description of the dog,'' she said.
A shelter worker told Prior that if Gizmo were turned in, the shelter would hold him three days before adopting him out.
The following Monday, Jan. 5, Prior returned to the shelter. He said he was overjoyed to find Gizmo. However, he said, he was puzzled to see a sign on the cage indicating the dog had been adopted.
Fatheree immediately tried to sort out the situation.
''Christine couldn't have been more helpful,'' Prior said.
She asked Prior to bring them proof the dog belonged to him.
Armed with photos of Gizmo and a description of the leash and collar, ''they had no qualms that it was my dog,'' he said.
Fatheree concurred.
Neither Fatheree nor Prior can explain why he missed Gizmo on the first visit.
Shelter logs show Gizmo was picked up by an animal warden at 11:12 a.m. Dec. 30, three streets from Prior's home. Legally, the first day the dog would have been available for adoption was Jan. 4.
Graves said she saw the dog for the first time Jan. 3 and decided to adopt him. Shelter workers told her to come back the next day with the $90 adoption fee and fill out the adoption and license forms, which she did.
Fatheree said as soon as the dog's identity and ownership were established, she called the woman and explained the mix-up.
Both Fatheree and Stanley said that Graves agreed to relinquish her claim, but she called back a few minutes later to say she had changed her mind.
Fatheree said she asked Stanley to get a legal opinion to see if the shelter could block the adoption.
''Legally, the dog is her dog, and if she doesn't want to give it back, she doesn't have to,'' Fatheree said she learned.
Stanley said he spoke with Graves and told her the shelter would refund her money. He also volunteered to pay for another dog of her choosing.
''I have looked at the pound a couple times and they didn't have any other dogs I want,'' Graves said Wednesday.
Stanley said today that he would have taken money from his own pocket to pay for a dog from a rescue group if Graves couldn't find another dog to her liking at the shelter.
''We did what we could. We bent over backwards for her,'' Stanley said.
Graves, a licensed practical nurse, said she has been contacted by everyone involved, but believes the dog will be better off with her than with Prior.
''The condition of the animal is very poor. His hair is matted; he's very skinny,'' Graves said Wednesday.
A medical form completed after the dog arrived at the shelter indicates the animal had no medical problems and was in normal condition. A photo, taken the day he arrived, appears to show a well-cared-for animal.
Graves said she doesn't like being pressured into giving up the dog.
''I feel like they are trying to make out that I'm a bad person. . . . I didn't do anything illegal. I went along with the animal shelter's rules,'' Graves said.
Ron Prior said it isn't a matter of legality.
''Morally, she should understand that he's part of our family and she should do what's right.''

POrior should go to court with a large lawsuit. Maybe when she realizes how much it's going cost Graves, she'll give the dog back to it's owner.
Posted 04:10 PM, 01/22/2009
Shame on Mrs Graves for not giving back the dog that clearly belongs to this man and his daughter. If shes had dogs before she should know that sometimes they get loose and it does not mean that the owners do not take good care of them. There are enough dogs that need adopted that she does not need to keep one that already has an owner.
Posted 04:12 PM, 01/22/2009
She needs to give this dog back to his family! So sad, Please let this dog go to the right home where we was before hand. She should put her in their place...What if that was her dog that got lost and adopted out!
Posted 04:14 PM, 01/22/2009
C'mon lady...legally it is her dog but morally she ought to relinquish rights back to the rightful owner. Have a heart lady. Don't you think the dog would rather be back with its family? This story angers me on how selfish we as humans really are. Give the dog back to Brandi! Sounds like she's been through enough the past year. You can find another dog lady. The pound is not the only place to adopt from you know. There are other shelters in the area. Look on Petfinder.com.

Perhaps the dog does legally belong to Graves, but the right thing to do would be to give the dog back. There are so many other dogs and cats needing a home right now, she would have many to choose from through various rescue groups and shelters. Gizmo already had a home and was loved. Graves needs to find another animal who needs that too.

This woman sounds like a mean vindictive woman and is not exactly an honest woman.
Why does she think she is so much better than the rightful owners ?
Maybe someday she will reap the rewards of her kind actions.

Gimme a break! Graves should keep the dog. The dog was in poor shape, matted fur, very thin, some "love" the original owners had. Tied him up outside on a retractable leash? This is close to animal abuse! The dog is where he belongs. Let it go - buy a stuffed animal. Sounds like they could handle the care and feeding of it.

''I have looked at the pound a couple times and they didn't have any other dogs I want,'' Graves said Wednesday.
Really? Out of all the shelters and thousands of dogs you want THAT one? Seriously? That is really selfish...and sad for the other animals up for adoption.
Posted 04:33 PM, 01/22/2009
Graves needs to give the dog back. Your telling me with all of the dogs out there she can't find another dog. The man is even offering to pay for her to find a new dog. She hasn't had the dog for even a month, she can't be that emotionally attached to the dog already.
Posted 04:36 PM, 01/22/2009
Sounds like the dog was on the loose for a little while, would explain the matted fur and thin.
Nice though that two families want him. Hope Brandi's life is getting back on track.
No one's making you out to be the bad person Tonya. In fact, you're adopting in the first place makes you out to be a great person !
Whats that saying about letting Love go?

A quote from the shelter stated " medical form completed after the dog arrived at the shelter indicates the animal had no medical problems and was in normal condition. A photo, taken the day he arrived, appears to show a well-cared-for animal."
You give us a break by stating facts or stating nothing at all !

Im sorry but I would have to side with Graves. I don't think Graves's character should be on the line. Legally and Morally she did nothing wrong. Perhaps if the dog owner took better care of Gizmo, it wouldn't have ended up in the animal shelter to begin with!
There are two sides to every story people!
Posted 04:41 PM, 01/22/2009
This woman is on a power trip and that's all. She doesn't care about anyone, not even the dog. If she had even an ounce of compassion, she would realize what all this family has been through and be happy to give this dog back. The young lady who lost him has already lost too much and she was doing everything right in taking care of him properly. Shame on you Mrs. Graves. I know someone just like you and she is also a very unhappy person.

We live in a world where we all know what is right, however right and legal are two totally different things. This article was probably written to add pressure on Graves so that she might give back the dog.

Give the dog back to Brandi. There are lots and lots of dogs that truly need adopted.

Why are we judging her? She could be a fabulous nurse. The dog is hers and she neither good nor bad for the way she is handling this. Again, take care of your dog better if you don't want it picked up and taken to the shelter- PERIOD!
Posted 04:59 PM, 01/22/2009
The moral of this story is to make sure your dog has a license! This whole mess could have been avoided. I don't think either parties are bad people, I would like to see the dog go to the rightful owner. (That being Brandi) And just because a person puts their dog on a retractable leash does not make them bad pet owners. Maybe their yard isn't fenced in and they have no choice but to put them on a leash to use the bathroom.
Posted 05:00 PM, 01/22/2009
Give the dog back, ... it could happen to you someday.... then we don't want to hear you whhhaaaaahhhhing when your dog gets lost... & let's see how you feel then. sometimes dogs have to be leashed for a few minutes when you have to do something & they can slip right off. We have a dog we dearly love & hope if he ever got loose that somebody would return him to us. yet I am sure "YOU" would never want our dog. He has had both eyes removed due to glaucoma yet he's the most beautiful white Sheba Inu one could ever ask for.

Ok, technically the woman did adopt the dog legally but morally, she should relinquish Gizmo back to his rightful owner. The father even agreed to give the adoptive person money to findd a new dog. Turn over the dog, please!!

The dog needs to go back to the Priors. What kind of nurse possesses that little human compassion? She should have given him back immediately before any attachment between her and the dog occurred. It will be easy for her to replace the dog but harder for the Priors.

What a horrible woman! Give the dog back! Don't you understand that the public perception of this is going to ruin your life! Your name is all over the news now! You on't be able to return to your job without being snickered at and talked about! Do the right thing! Give the dog back to its owers! Long term you will be better off!

Graves says: "I feel like they are trying to make out that I'm a bad person..." YOU ARE A BAD PERSON!!! No you didn/t do anything illegal. but you sure puch the MORAL button. If you weren't a BAD PERSON, you would do what's right and give the dog back to its true owner. Anyone who ever had a dog knows how easy it is to lose a dog. They were looking for him, and they did everything they should have done.
I sure would not want someone like you taking care of me.... if you work with Ms. Graves.... give her back the cold chill she sends to others. If she is this mean of a person, she won't be very good to the dog either. SHAME ON YOU MS. GRAVES.... WHERE'S YOUR HEART?

I can't believe how Tonya Graves can even stand to live or sleep. This is a true case of being selfish. If she truely cared for Gizmo, She would do the right thing by returning him to his rightful owner. How heartless can this woman get! She should be embarassed with herself for acting like a child.
Posted 07:46 PM, 01/22/2009
hopefully Graves reads these comments and do the right thing and give the dog back.

''I feel like they are trying to make out that I'm a bad person. . . . I didn't do anything illegal. I went along with the animal shelter's rules,'' Graves said.
you do look like a bad person cuz your acting like a bad coldhearted person! I would think a nurse would have empathy for another person who has gone thru serious medical problems and economic setbacks, as well as lost her fiance, and then her dad lost her dog!? What the heck Ms. Graves, are you evil or what? This dog has a family already, the shelter stated they have records and photos that show the dog was in good health and well taken care of!
I had a Shih Tzu, and they need frquent grooming which isnt cheap Ms. Graves, I wonder if you realize that even though you got an expensive dog cheaply at the shelter, his upkeep is going to cost you more than the average dog! As an RN I realize and have experienced working with many nurses who dont have empathy, like if they had a heart to begin with maybe it harden over the years, I dont know, but you Ms. Graves should have a conscience and a heart and not keep this dog therefore kicking this poor woman when she is down, has been down for a year or more...I would like to think any normal decent human being wouldn't do as your doing and let the greed of getting an expensive dog for cheap, overcome or outweigh simple human kindness and decency to do the right thing and return him to his owner! Especially once you discover it's not such a bargain...and how expensive his grooming and upkeep will be....(ie shih tzu's are also prone to get eye infections if not kept clean enough due to their pug faces)I strongly believe in karma..you hurt others it will come back to you!

avedakevin79:
yes she did do something wrong morally! Nurses dont usually kick a person when their down, and this poor girl has not only had medical problems but lost her job her home her fiance, all after medical problems saying she cant bear a child! Any person with a heart and a conscience would give the dog back! AS an RN I would hate to have this woman working under me! If this is how she treats someone when their down then she's a poor excuse for a human let alone a heartless nurse with no empathy and no sense of human decency!
What goes around comes around, and I hope Graves gets hers! She only wants the dog because finding an expensive dog like a shih tzu at a shelter is a bargain that she can make money off of most likely!What a loser! I hope this story gets spread around until Tonya Graves is treated and known for the cold hearted poor excuse for a human being she is!

Tonya Graves you must live a pretty pathetic life to be so cold hearted and so void of compassion if you are a nurse you must work at the morgue for only the dead would find you warm hearted...do the RIGHT thing and give the dog to its owner ... if not may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpit hairs...

Can you seriously put yourself in that poor young woman's shoes and feel that it is perfectly OK to treat her and her feelings the way you have? You can honestly say that is the way you would hope to be treated if the same unfortunate incident happened to you???
The poor girl has had a horrendous year and you, a professional nurse and a hopefully, compassionate human being would treat her like that? This entire incident is so difficult to even believe. Where is your human kindness and sensitivity? Karma is real and what goes around comes around....not a good thing for you!
Admit your mistake in judgment, and your intentional infliction of emotional cruelty and try and make amends.

check out tonya graves on summit county public court records. Sued by Triad financial and lost $8,040. Sued again by Triad and lost $3,500. Sued by an auto leasing company and lost $7,000. Triad finances mobil homes, aka TRAILERS!

If Graves decides to "give" the dog back, what does she get in return...her money back? another pet? ... Perhaps some respect that she obviously lost with her decision to keep the dog. I hope people ride her until she can not stand it any longer. If you work with her, give her the sh*t jobs and don't cut her any slack. If she works for you, PUT IT TO HER! If she comes to treat you, REFUSE to allow her to treat you. Perhaps she will get the message.

Of all the thousands of animals that need to be adopted out. This Graves lady gets stuck on one that already has a home. She is an embarrassment and the lowest of the low. I feel for the Prior's. Grave's should have the heart to relinquish her rights and the shelter is no better acting like Switzerland in the matter. They should have some stones and make it right for the Prior's and Grave's. DO WHAT IS RIGHT......

No one's attacking Tonya Graves' poor decision making...well--ok. Yes, we are.
She made a very bad moral decision to keep this little dog in spite of the fact that he has a family --who found him the NIGHT BEFORE she took him home. The MINUTE she learned that his family found him and were trying to get him back, she should have done the right thing by getting a refund and looking for another, unattatched dog.
While there is no legal remedy for the Prior's, there IS a moral remedy: GIVE THE DOG BACK TO HIS FAMILY. CUT YOUR LOSSES AND MOVE ON.
SO HOW'S THAT FOR "MORAL FIBER"???
Tonya---do you sleep at night knowing that you stole this dog from his family?

''I feel like they are trying to make out that I'm a bad person. . . . I didn't do anything illegal. I went along with the animal shelter's rules,'' Graves said.
While that lady might not have done anything illegal, she needs to do the right thing and give the dog up to its family. I am not a fan of most of the lawsuits going on out there, but I hope she gets sued if she doesn't give the dog up.

Why do people find it so hard to use common sense and do the right thing? Tonya Graves hadn't taken possession of the dog, so even though she "connected" with Gizmo in order to adopt him in the first place, it's not like she developed some overwhelming love for him. Someone earlier wanted to know if she'd get her money back. I'd think the shelter would also do the right thing and either refund her money or allow her to choose another pet ... one who doesn't have an owner to claim it. To Ms. Graves, I say the world has enough heartache in it. Don't add to it with selfishness and let Brandi Prior have her dog back. Do ... the ... right ... thing!
Posted 09:00 AM, 01/23/2009
She should have licensed the dog to begin with. From the sound of the state of the animal, the original animal probably wasn't taking good care of it. He has a good home, it was all legal, and it could have been prevented if they 1. licensed the dog, 2. gone to the shelters in the area quickly.
Paula,
Brandi never licensed the dog, therefore, she doesn't have "certified papers" saying she's the owner. And I'm sure the nurse would have Brandi arrested should she steal her dog or trespass on her property....

I was in the same position as the Prior's in March 08. My 5 1/2 year old dog had gotten loose in February 08. My friends, family, and I had continuously searched the animal shelter, the Humane society, and the online boards at least every three days for seven weeks.
My vision is poor so on my visit to the animal shelter (which was a Friday), I had noticed for the first time a cage which looked like a closet with thick bars, I did see an animal in it but I had no idea it was mine at that time. That following Monday, a friend had come to take me there thinking that my dog was there. I did not believe her but had gone anyway. Even standing there and looking at that closet-cage with my dog in it, I still did not think it was my dog. The lighting makes the dogs color look much different.
My dog was adopted but not yet picked up because it had not been neutered yet. Thank goodness, that the compassionate new owner had relinquished his/her rights and I was able to take my dog home that day.
Ms Graves could not have been emotionally attached to a dog which was yet in her possession but chose to do the morally bankrupt thing which was to take the dog home. I am truly grateful that you were not the adopter of my dog Sipe.
Ms Graves, what is it that you really want? Are you just being spiteful to someone who has done nothing wrong to you? Please do the right thing.
I also want to thank the workers of the animal shelter for helping me secure my dog, and thank you animal lover for doing the just thing and allowing me to take my dog home that day.

Lawcat,
You get "papers" when you purchase the pedigreed animal. And they did go to the shelter. The dog wasn't there the day they went. Chrissy can't explain that one. Well she can, but she wont. Regardless of all the circumstances, decency dictates that the dog be returned to the rightful owner (Brandi).
Posted 09:31 AM, 01/23/2009
Graves originally said she'd give it back,then called back a few minutes later to say she'd changed her mind. In that time, either she came to the conclusion that she was going to get paid, or someone told her to hold out until she got paid. My guess is she thinks the original owner is going to come through with some cash. What a despicable person.

OldManGrump:POrior should go to court with a large lawsuit. Maybe when she realizes how much it's going cost Graves, she'll give the dog back to it's owner.
---
Sorry Grump! Graves did nothing illegal (you should check Ohio law before you start talking about lawsuits). Seems like Brandi can't even take care of herself, what makes everyone think she can take care of a dog.
Someone else wrote that Shi Tzus require a lot of grooming...well if Brandi doesn't have the money to properly care for the dog, then maybe Graves will. I dont know either women, but I see that far too often dogs are "lost" and their owners barely get off their a**es to look for them.
Maybe the pound had the dog in the back room to save for thier friends who like getting full breed dogs to sell for big money. This situation is why all dog owners need to license their dogs. $14 is not alot of money for a chance to get a lost dog back. If you think it is, then you cannot afford to care for a dog.
---
A quote from the shelter stated " medical form completed after the dog arrived at the shelter indicates the animal had no medical problems and was in normal condition. A photo, taken the day he arrived, appears to show a well-cared-for animal."
WELL I wouldnt take the word of the lazy pound staff. they can barely figure out if an animal is male or female, let alone the conidtion of its fur or otherwise. They are a bunch of idiots.
everyone should leave Graves alone. She may very well be saving the dogs life by getting him away from Brandi and her oblivious dad.

Some of you are so negative and don't even know the whole story. To those who are negative why not ask Christine if the dog was in good shape, why was the pound saying the dog had to be kept at the pound for a virus and injuries to the dogs paws. Also, if this was my dog that was like a family member, there would be no way that I could not recognize my animal. Blaming your finances does not constitute the rules and regulations that must be followed when owning an animal. Shame on you for trying to use The University of Akron logo for your cause. I am Tonya's mother and I also work for The University of Akron. What people don't know is she did the right thing, so whatever you negative people say does not matter. As a matter of fact, since you all want them to have the dog, go out and buy one for their family. Maybe they will take better care of the one they recieve. Shame on these people for trying to play on Akron's symapthy like they are so helpless. Christine, you did not try to handle the situation. Only after harrassing phone calls from the family and contacting our attorney did you try and do the right thing. By law as you stated, "If a dog is not picked up within three day, then it can be adopted." Let's take this to another level. When the rescue shelter (Heven Can Wait) came and wanted to take the same dog, the rescue shelter offered my daughter a change at adopting the dog first, so she took the opportunity that had been offered. If the rescue shelter had of taken the dog, they would have had to pay even more money they claim they didn't have for example $300.00, so would that have been a shame on you by the rescue shelter.
So the pound can pay for the family to get another dog. All of you that call her Bs and other negative things should get a life.

Graves legally adopted the dog. However, she knew before she took the dog home that it was discovered by the owner. Who is she to judge and say she'd take better care of it? That's like finding a wallet someone lost and saying that you're gonna keep it because you'd take better care of it.
Graves did a good thing for looking at a shelter for a dog. She should accept the adoption fee from the family and find a new dog.

I have not seen a photo of Ron Prior since the day he graduated from high school, so I was shocked that I could actually recognize him from so long ago. Although not a friend, he did walk the same halls with me and after so many years in the same building, you get to know a person...somewhat. The fellow was a good guy. I can only imagine how badly he must feel to have made a mistake that was not intentional and now creates more sadness for his daughter.
Please, Ms Graves. Just give the dog back to the owners.
Posted 10:03 AM, 01/23/2009
It is a sad fact of life that stupidity can be painful. NO dog should be tied out. If you have an animal, take care of it. I had 2 dogs for 14 years. Those dogs were taken out on a leash EVERYTIME they had to go out, no matter what time of day or night or the weather!!! THEY WERE NEVER TIED OUT! If you are too lazy to take your animal out and stay with it...sorry, but you deserve what you get.
On the other hand...the dog should go back to its' original owner because he DOES grieve for its "real" owner. I have a shelter dog now and she still looks for her owner when we go out. Graves is being selfish and not taking the dog into consideration. She is not very compassionate and it may show in her nursing.
Posted 10:04 AM, 01/23/2009

To Ms. Graves and brownsugar(if you really ARE her mother):
First we can see where Ms. Graves got her "compassion". Momma wouldn't give it back either.
Second, Ms. Graves, you are supposedly a nurse and have a job? Well, think about this...Ohio is an "at will" state, which means you can be let go at any time and no reason has to be given. Well, this story is out and it's not looking good for you. Your employer could see this and realize you are not good for business (i.e. bad name for hospital, nursing home etc). Also anyone you treat will see your name tag (hopefully you wear one) and could possibly not want to be treated by you. So you could be looking for a new job, which could also be difficult due to the publicity. What kind of life would the dog have after YOU have lost your job and are unable to care for him properly?
What goes around comes around and hopefully you WILL get yours!

There are a dozen other shelters like the abomination in Akron. Some of them have nice people working at them unlike Steve Fischer who once threatened to kill someone and managed to keep his job.

Of course Graves is going to lie and say the dog was in bad shape. She's attempting to look unselfish when the opposite is the case. Anyone who has been involved with animal shelters knows that the shelter would never place a dog in the condition Graves describes. If you read carefully, you'll notice that the shelter said the dog was in good shape.
And that Graves is an LPN only validates that she's a bi^ch. Most nurses these days are nothing but trailor park HOs!

HAVE A HEART AND GIVE THEM BACK THEIR DOG. It's the only right thing to do. Their are so many dogs that needs help and a loving home. Why would you want to hurt the dog? She belongs to someone else. If you love something set it free if it comes back to you it yours, if it dosn't it never was. Let the dog chose between the two familys and see where she wants to go.

The summit county animal shelter is run by nothing but cold heartless people who could care less about animals. I personally had an awful incident with them back in 11/07 and everyone I spoke to at the shelter told us a different story of accounts. I had a neighbor steal my dog and take him to the pound to have euthanized. All she had to do was sign a paper stating she owned him and the pound done the euthanization. Even though he had 4 diffented tags hanging on his collar and a microchip behind his ear which stated who actually owned him, the pound never once checked this out. Therefore, I would like to know what is the point of buying a dog license, a pit bull registration and a microchip when it does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PROTECT YOUR DOG!!! And to make it even worse, the dog pound had a picture of my dog since he was a registered pit! So were they just happy to put down a pit and not question who he really belonged to? And when we contacted an attorney, we were told there was nothing we could do to go after the pound since they are "protected". SO we lost a part of our family by plain laziness and ignorance. My 8 year old daughter still to this day speaks on Diesel and how much she loves and misses him. And it was the same people who dismissed this incident as the ones who are involved now. Christine Fatheree does NOT deserve to be in the position she is!! My two other dogs we had over the years were cremated and we have the ashes but we were never given this opportunity with Diesel and his life was cut short over ignorance. Diesel was only 1 1/2 years old and was such a lovely baby! FIGHT BSL!!! BAN THE DEED AND NOT THE BREED.... And our pound has even emplyed people who are into dog fighting... Something needs to be done about this place!!! And something needs to be done about ignorant people!

It's now obvious why you didn't teach you daughter (if she is your daughter) to do the good thing; you wouldn't do it yourself. You were probably the one who told her to hold out for cash, like you and she were going to get rich, or something. All you want to do is make excuses for why you should be allowed to what you want to do. Your daughter may be legally in the right, but that doesn't make it the good thing to do. Of course, you can't relate to that because you and your daughter only know how to be selfish, self-centered profit mongers. Thanks for being a drain on society.

This local interest fluff was placed right next to a story about The new president signing an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay detention center. Local Section, page 3? Sure! Front Page, top of the paper, RIGHT NEXT to an article about the order to close a prison that has been violating human rights for years ?(something our nation is supposedly adamantly opposed to)? Doesn't seem right. Who do the priors know that works at the Beacon? This is just one of those crappy situations in life where red tape (the lack of foresight to get the dog LICENSED) got in the way of what everyone knows is the right thing. It happens to everyone living in this society, only we don't all get our sob stories run on the front page of the paper.
By the way, Mr. Prior, could you have hammed up that picture anymore? Ugh.

Graves is greedy. At first, she was willing to work with Prior. But after thinking about how much they wanted the dog back, Graves decides to keep it!!! The dog was obviously not from a bad home. Otherwise, Prior wouldn't be fighting for the dog to come back HOME. Graves I hope you're reading this. GIVE THE DOG BACK TO ITS FAMILY. IT'S NOT APART OF YOUR LIFE. THERE IS NO WAY YOU HAVE EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT. YOU SEE A DOG THAT OTHERS WANT AND DECIDE IT'S OF MORE VALUE TO YOU. SELFISH.
Posted 04:26 PM, 01/23/2009
Ms. Graves, animals are part of one's family. If someone's child got lost, would you not return it to their original family. Quit thinking of YOU and think of those who have lost their loved one. You can choose any other pet you'd like. They've already have an attachment to their dog, and the dog to them. Grow Up!

did you read everything. She said it was not cared for but the shelters records show other wise
A medical form completed after the dog arrived at the shelter indicates the animal had no medical problems and was in normal condition. A photo, taken the day he arrived, appears to show a well-cared-for animal.

Sometimes it takes something devistating like this to open up a dog owners eyes. Dogs do slip out of collars and people are nieve to the fact that animals can disappear really easy. I should know because my dog disappeared almost two months ago while being pet sat while me and my family were out of town. All the right precautions were taken, but in literally 30 seconds, she disappeared into thin air. I still have not found her. My family mourns every day for her. I'd find closure just knowing if she is dead or alive.
Which leads me to the Summit County Animal Control. Of all the times I've visited there to look for my dog, I always felt like they never cared about my dog being lost or showed any compassion. Sure they posted a flyer, but did they ever look at it or any of the MANY ones plastered on the board. Even though we visit the pound frequently,my dog could have very well been adopted out without my knowing, or even euthanized. She did have Summit Co. tags as well as her rabies tag on too. I've been to surrounding county shelters that are so much more compassionate about a lost animal...you could not imagine! I think the pound should have tried to make things right for the owner of Gizmo.
There is no way Graves bonded with Gizmo. Give the dog back to Brandi! Nevermind the sad story...its a moral issue...period!! I mourn every day for my dog in hopes that I find her.

I have known Ron Prior for 28 years, and Brandi since she was only 3 years old. In fact, I practically grew up in their house. We were neighbors, and her older sister is one of my dearest friends. Brandi has not had an easy life, true, but that does not make her incapable of taking care of herself or a 10 lb. dog. I know that she absolutely loved "Gizzy" and would not have neglected him in anyway. I know he was well taken care of and she took him everywhere she went even if it was just up the street to the store. She groomed him herself, (cut his hair to look like a lion most times) and always made sure he was at a family members house when she couldn't take him with her. Ron and Brandi came to my house the night he got loose and tearfully asked me if I had seen him, and could I watch out for him. She had said he still had his retractable leash attached to him, and was worried he might have gotten caught on something while wandering around. The point is, if Graves only knew how attached Gizmo was to Brandi, and Brandi to Gizmo, she wouldn't hesitate to give Gizzy back. Gizmo is the one thing that Brandi calls her own and it's just soooo wrong that because of the policies in place at the shelter, she now has lost a beloved friend and pet. GIVE GIZZY BACK TO THE ONE HE LOVES!!!!!!! Brandi is the rightful owner and always will be.

If you don't return the dog, then you have to be one of the most selfish self centered people in the world. So please give the dog back, then go check out The Summit county Humane Society. They have 100's of dogs all in need of a good home. A dog from The Humane Society will be up to date on shots, fixed, temperment tested, and housebroken. They can also put you in touch with breed rescue groups.

The sad part of all this is that there are two families that may well truly love this sweet little dog. In that, neither party is "bad".
However, Ms. Graves, if you have ever lost a beloved pet, you would know how traumatic an experience that becomes. It happened to my husband and I. I spent two years searching for my dog, spending thousands of dollars sending fliers to all the area vets (with pictures) and asking them to let me know if they have seen her. I ended up hospitalized with an asthma attack caused by the stress. To this day, I still find myself "looking" for her.
We have rescued numerous dogs, cats and farm animals over the years, but there is still a whole in our hearts for that dog.
There are so many wonderful dogs out there that need the love of a kind human -- many truly uncared for and/or abused. Think of the others that you might be able to help when this little dog already had a loving home and just happened to get caught up in a regretful situation.
Please spread your love a little further and look for another that may have to be euthanized - only because no one chose them!
Posted 12:20 AM, 01/24/2009
Hey, brownsugar, where'd you go. Why haven't you come back to defend your daughter some more? Maybe you weren't her mom at all, maybe you were really her, and you were too afraid to admit it, because you knew what you were doing was inexcusable and flat out wrong.

OK I'm curious. Brown Sugar, I've never rapped a dog, but I'll try now:
My name is Gizzy D
and I like to get around,
Got my leash off the hook-
found my arse in the pound.
All the bltches were in heat
but they locked this mutha up,
hid me in the back when
Daddy Ron showed up.
Now Cruella owns this boyee
and she wont let go.
I hope my girl Brandi
knows I love her so.

I was furious when I read this article (a day late). I had intended to post a comment blasting Tonya Graves but after reading ALL of the other comments I am happy to say that everyone did it for me! I totally agree that she needs to give the dog back. I am so happy that there are animal lovers out there that are so compassionate about their pets and other's pets as well. If you have ever had any true connection with a pet you would understand the sadness the Priors must feel. This entire situation makes me ill. For those who think this is unimportant or silly, I kindly say you should post your comments elsewhere about something else.

Ron DID claim the dog within the 3 day period...
but your selfish daughter refused to give Gizmo back then. The article said (if i'm not mistaken) that she had to come back to get him on day 3. Ron was there the same day your selfish daughter was, but refused to let the dog go back to its rightful owner.
YOU RAISED A REAL WINNER HONEY.
I'll just bet she got her self-centeredness from you. You don't sound very compassionate either.

I have known Ron for decades. I knew Brandi before she was born, and she looks just like her mom. These folks have weathered many storms and heartaches, and are still loving people, kind people.
Ron is not the brightest crayon in the box, and he basically expects the best outcome even when the situation is dire.
If Ms Graves is really compassionate, she'll not only give back Gizmo, she'll provide Mr. Prior with a proper tie out. Many animals are escape artists, and it's simply a testament to the dog's intelligence that he got away.
Of course a license could have prevented much of this, so lesson learned.
Give back the family dog, for compassion's sake.
Posted 11:28 AM, 01/24/2009
What really concerns me is this Ms. Graves is a nurse by profession. I certainly hope she uses better judgement while caring for patients. I work for a rescue agency and while I understand she probably fell in love and cares about it's well being, the original owners have gone to great lengths to locate their dog. That shows that they do in fact care for Gizmo and therefore, the dog should be returned. Ms. Graves, there are SO MANY dogs that are currently up for adoption that are in need of loving homes. Please do the right thing and return Gizmo and adopt a dog that really does need a home!

Unlike most, I think you are a very good person to have went to the shelter in the first place to adopt. The miss handling of the sitution, is what needs correcting, its a pity it's caused so much greif. Again Best of Luck to you all, Brandi, if someone helps you get your dog back, or offers you another, its for sure it will be loved, and licenced this time.

I cannot believe this woman (Graves) will not give the dog back. Our dog got lose 2 years ago when we were moving and we never found her, it was heartbreaking. They really do become like members of your family. As a person who works in the nursing profession, I would think Ms. Graves would be more compassionate, but I guess not. I certainly hope I never encounter her if I ever have to go to the hospital.
I can see by the way her "mother" is defending her, the apple did not fall far from the tree, it would appear she was raised that way.

If Brownsugar is really this persons mother then she should be considered a terrible mother. A real Mother would tell her to do the right thing and give the dog back. If this is the same woman listed on the Summit County Clerk of courts site I would suggest giving the dog back because she would not be a suitable owner. The woman listed there appears to be somewhat of a baby maker with little moral fiber. Just be a real person and give back the dog. No wonder the man in the parentage suit doesn't wanna give child support.
