Joplin Tornado: Cocker Spaniel Dog Sugar Found 12 Weeks Later

Joplin tornado victim, Sugar, a Cocker Spaniel, has been reunited with at least part of her family.  Twelve weeks after the May 22 tornado devastated Joplin, there is some good news for the family of Johnnie Richey.

Richey was killed with the twister flattened the Joplin Elks Lodge.  His home was also destroyed.  Richey's family spent days after the storm trying to find him, only to learn that he had perished in the storm.   In addition, Richey's constant companion, Sugar, a 9 year old blond Cocker Spaniel was also missing.

Richey's sister, Kerri Simms,  began a campaign of missing posters and created a Facebook page just for the purpose of finding Sugar.  As the weeks passed, the family worried about just how slim the chance was that Sugar would be found. 

On August 12 a taxi cab driver in Joplin, Chris Ruport, noticed a stray dog who looked "pretty beat up" on the street and decided to pick it up.  His wife posted a photo of the dog on Craigslist.  Within hours the Richey family had been notified that a dog matching Sugar's description had been found.   Richey's sister traveled to Joplin, identified Sugar and took her to the Emergency Pet Center in Joplin.  

Sugar was treated for severe eye and ear infections, flea infestation, and severe dehydration.  Richey’s mother, Joyce Richey, said Sugar was weak when the family picked her up.

“When we first saw her, she was shaking real bad like she didn’t have the energy to stand, but they put her on (intravenous fluids) and kept her overnight, and she was better,” she said.

Kerri Simms, Richey's sister, has taken Sugar home and said Sugar has spent a lot of time sleeping and eating.  Finding Sugar has given her a new connection with her brother, Simms said.

“It means having part of my brother back,” she said. “We can’t bring him back, but we can at least have her. Now we don’t have to wonder. They wouldn’t let us see my brother after the tornado, so I don’t want to say it’s closure, but we know now that she’s OK.”

Missouri Puppy Mills: New Law Shuts Down Dog Breeder in Monett

 According to the Humane Society of Missouri, the first bad dog breeder has been shut down thanks to Missouri's new cruelty prevention law.

Seventy-three dogs were rescued by the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force from a dog breeding facility in Monett (Lawrence County) Missouri.  Dogs included Cocker Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, American Eskimos, Poodles, Beagles, Papillons and Brussels Griffons.  These dogs were living in cramped, dirty, unsafe cages, often outside with no access to shade or protection from the sweltering heat due to the neglect of this dog breeder.

Under the new Canine Cruelty Prevention Act and with the join efforts of the Office of the Missouri Attorney General, the Missouri Department of Agriculture and HSMO, this commercial dog breeder is no longer in business.  According to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, this rescue is just the beginning of efforts leading to a significant improvement of Missouri's dog breeding reputation.

According to inspections by the Missouri Department of Agriculture, this dog breeding facility:
  • failed to provide adequate veterinary care to animals in obvious medical distress;
  • failed to clean and sanitize the facility, allowing excrement in food receptacles and dirty, muddy drinking water;
  • failed to keep sick, aged, or young animals in indoor or sheltered housing facilities;
  • failed to equip housing facilities with disposal and drainage systems in order to keep animal waste and water eliminated so the animals stayed dry;
  • failed to provide shade for the dogs;
  • failed to collect and remove animal waste – in some places feces had accumulated to the point that it was indistinguishable from the flooring; and
  • failed to provide housing that protected the animals from injury.
In addition, the owner routinely used a gunshot as a means of euthanasia, also in violation of the law.

In an agreement approved July 14 and enforceable under the circuit court, the owner will surrender all animals to the Humane Society of Missouri, surrender her Missouri Department of Agriculture commercial breeder license and will not operate a dog breeding facility for at least the next 6 years.

The rescued animals were taken to the Humane Society of Missouri's Headquarters for individual veterinary exams and treatment.  As soon as  they are healthy, as many of them as possible will be made available for adoption.

Puppy Mill Bust in Missouri

On June 14, 2010 the Humane Society of Missouri’s Animal Cruelty Task Force was called in to help shut down another substandard puppy mill in central Missouri. This puppy mill was run by a breeder licensed by both the US Dept of Agriculture and the MO Dept Agriculture.

Canines removed included 109 Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Pekingese, Beagles, Shih Tzues, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. All at the request of the MO Dept Agriculture. The facility was cited by the USDA and MDA for lack of sanitation. Citations included kennel areas overrun by feces and insects, overcrowded and unsafe pens with exposed wires and jagged edges, and chronic lack of adequate ventilation.


With heat indexes well over 90 degrees, the rescuers found indoor conditions almost unbearable. Dogs and pupples were underweight, lethargic and dehydrated. Dogs were matted with encrusted fur, fleas, and displayed bloated bellies. Dogs were also suffering pneumonia, eye infections, paw pad burns and other severe infections.


All the rescued puppies and dogs have received veterinary and shelter care from the HSMO.
