Woman arrested after allegedly throwing newborn puppies in garbage bin

“The Good Samaritan played a major role in saving theses puppies’ lives,” Commander Chris Mayer said. “His actions were humane and heroic.”

Riverside County Animal Services posted the video in hopes of getting leads as to the identity of the woman.

“There is no excuse for dumping puppies,” Mayer said. “Especially in today’s age when we or other shelters would be willing to get these animals to foster parents or rescue partners. This was a shameful act.”

A few days later, the animal shelter shared the news and video of a suspect being arrested outside her home on Monday, April 22, 2019.

The woman has been identified by news outlets as 54-year-old Deborah Sue Culwell. Riverside County, animal services has also confiscated 38 dogs from her home. The dogs were in a home in a “state of direpair”. They appeared overall healthy but were aggressive or fearful.

None of the dogs are available for adoption presently. The puppies are being cared for by MeoowzResQ, a Southern California-based organization specializing in kitten and cat rescue and fostering. They are taking care of bottle feeding duties and say that the puppies terrier mixes and are thriving.

Animal Services’ veterinary team members cared for the puppies and lined up a rescue group partner organization to take over bottle feeding duties and will be made available for adoption once they are old enough.
