I have never been more proud to be a member of the Lycoming County Bar than I was on Friday, July 31st William Carlucci when Judge Carlucci heard the motion filed on behalf of Gone Rogue Girls Rescue Inc. To seize a dog that was surrendered via contract to their rescue, a 2 year old Rottweiler. Judge Carlucci held a hearing and granted our motion due to concern for the safety of the dog. Holly Lynne Holly, our wonderful prothonotary, and her amazing staff could not have been more helpful in getting what we needed filed starting on Monday. Then, when the order was issued Judge Carlucci even gave his court reporter the rest of the afternoon off to allow her to draft the order so we could rescue Saskia on Friday.
The owner of the dog that had surrendered her left her home when she became aware of the order. Sheriff Eric Spiegel and his staff came out right away to attempt to rescue Saskia. When they weren't able to rescue her on Friday, Eric N Regina Spiegel Sheriff Spiegel went above and beyond working on Saturday for hours having to go to the northern reaches of Lycoming County in an effort to rescue Saskia.
THIS IS HOW A COMMUNITY, BOTH THE LEGAL COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE ANIMALS. WELL DONE!
