A Waddy resident has come forward to claim the dog confiscated last week in connection with some animal attacks.

However, officials at the Shelby County Animal Shelter refuse to release her dog, the owner said.

“They say they won’t let me have him until they are sure he is not the dog they’re looking for,” said Brenda Tillett of Waddy.

The pit bull is a suspect in animal mutilations that killed several animals in late November and early December and ripped off a cow’s ears as recently as Jan. 6.

Two women from Waddy heroically saved a beloved family pet Thursday and in the process may have captured the creature that has mutilated several animals on nearby farms.

The suspect in custody is an adult male pit bull that was seen attacking livestock before it jumped a defenseless dog and ultimately was succumbed to two undaunted sisters.
