A Foristell dog groomer recently was arrested for allegedly abandoning a dog on a Warren County road last month.Isabella R. Mitchell, 21, of the 10000 block of Cottonwood Court, was issued a summons for abandoning a dog without making any arrangements for necessary care Aug. 2, according to Warren County Sheriff Kevin Harrison.Mitchell is the owner of “Majestic Mutts Pet Styling” on Highway T, south of Foristell, in Warren County.While Mitchell could face some sort of consequences for her actions, if convicted, for the dog she abandoned, there was a much happier ending to her tale.LostWhen Warren County Sheriff’s Deputy Amber Dreher saw a little dog in the middle of North Stringtown Road on her way home from work, she knew it was in trouble.“The dog was panting heavily, was dirty and its fur was matted,” she said. “It didn’t look like it was cared for real well and it looked lost.”Dreher, a former dog groomer and animal control officer, took the little Lhasa apso home and gave her a bath and a haircut.She then went door-to-door and posted “found” signs on her own time, searching for the dog’s owner.After about a week and a half of investigating, Dreher got a break in her case.“My friend was at a (Wright City) restaurant talking about the dog when a girl overheard the conversation and admitted she was the one who dumped the dog,” Dreher said.Dreher located the woman, who turned out to be Mitchell. Mitchell allegedly admitted to Dreher that she had had the dog a few days and couldn’t find her a home so she dumped it near another woman’s house who supposedly was known to take in strays.Dreher was shocked to find out Mitchell was a fellow dog groomer.“I was appalled,” she told The Record.“I feel like someone in the dog industry should be held to a higher standard than the general public. I never thought someone who claimed to be passionate for animals on their website could abandon an innocent little dog on a county road.”Dreher said she told the woman it was illegal to abandon an animal and she placed the woman under arrest.FoundDreher set about looking to place the dog in a “forever” home, and through some networking found Dorris Norman, an older lady who had told her daughter she would like to have a dog.“My daughter, Carol Ramsey, showed me a picture of her and I said, ‘Yes! She’s really cute!’ ” Norman said.Norman named the dog “Peaches,” and said the little dog has already become part of the family.“She gets on the sofa with me and sleeps with me,” she said.Desire to HelpThe incident with Peaches inspired Dreher to do something to help pet parents reunite with lost pets.Dreher, who has always had a passion for helping four-legged citizens, created a Facebook page called the “Warren County Lost and Found Pets” last week.“To me, this speaks volumes to Amber’s character,” Harrison said. “She goes above and beyond her duties to help those who can’t help themselves, and while pet abuse and neglect cases aren’t high priority, they are necessary. Amber represents this department very well (in these cases). I’m really proud of her.”Dreher said she has gotten a lot of positive feedback from her new page, and there are already several pet owners who have posted on it, looking for their lost pets.But for Dreher, the page isn’t quite enough.She is seeking donations to purchase a microchip scanner for the sheriff’s office so any pets found after veterinarian office hours can be scanned by deputies. Dreher estimated the cost of the scanner to be around $300.Anyone who wants to donate can contact Dreher via her Facebook page.Peaches
