This document summarizes the conditions of animals that were seized from Jane Smith's rescue, Bright Futures Rescue. It includes photos of 47 dogs, 2 cats, 7 birds, 1 rabbit, and 1 gecko at the time they were seized and after arriving at the Wayne County Humane Society. The photos show the animals were scared but did not appear to be in poor health or living conditions based on their coats, weight, and cleanliness. The document argues the case against Jane Smith was unjust and asks viewers to voice their concerns to relevant legal authorities.

2. The following slides represent a composite of Jane Smith of Bright Futures
Rescue’s animals in happier times, at the time of seizure and their condition
upon arrival at The Wayne County Humane Society (WCHS). None of this was
allowed as testimony at her trial!
Jane was charged with 47 counts of animal cruelty on her dogs. No mention
was made of the 2 cats, 7 birds, 1 rabbit and 1 gecko, however, she was
charged $300/month for each of the above and they have not been returned to
her, as required by Ohio Revised Code 959.132 (G).
The prosecution has also made the statement that they do not want Jane
Smith to ever have animals again!
Please look at the slides presented, and make your own decision on whether
or not these animals were victims of cruelty. If you agree that this was a total
travesty of justice based on an illegal entry violating her Fourth Amendment
rights, please make your feelings known to the Ohio Supreme Court, the Ohio
Attorney General’s Office and John Kasich, Governor of Ohio!
Thank you for looking at our presentation.

3. And so patiently they sat . . .
. . . waiting on transport

4. Transport ready . . .
. . . and loading begins!

5. Observe spaces between kennels.
Stacked 3 kennels high in a closed
van – how many deep?
. . . finally, ready to
go . . .
. . . a journey of 13+ miles with only
bungee cords keeping them safe!

6. Living quarter of Jane
Smith’s animals now at
WCHS – behind closed,
locked doors – only
favored kennel workers
and volunteers allowed
in to see them!

7. At WCHS after seizure
Tammi ID JS01
During seizure at Jane Smith’s
05/1914 Tammi arrived at Jane’s so
afraid that she crawled.
With loving care from
Jane, she was able to trust
humans again. Now she is
back in the same situation
Jane pulled her from . . .
what is her condition now?

8. Sheba ID JS02 During seizure at
Jane Smith’s 05/1914
At WCHS after seizure
SHEBA . . . Jane’s personal dog . . . when she arrived at
Jane’s rescue, she had been so abused that she would not
walk. Jane carried her in and out. At the time of the
seizure she was the one that greeted all the new dogs,
comforted them, taught them the rules. She was never
crated. How can the WCHS possibly feel that living in a
kennel 24/7 for 6+ months can be a better life?

14. Tulip was one of the 3 dogs that WCHS said
was heartworm positive and wanted to kill
because she was suffering. Later tests
proved she was heartworm negative. She
would now be dead if Jane’s attorney had not
filed an appeal to stop the killing.
At WCHS after seizure
Tulip (Maria) ID JS08
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
A terrified little dog – the person holding her is not
trying to make it better. These people did not care
about the animals.

15. PJ (George) ID JS9
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
The condition of the crate says
it all . . . this dog was terrified.

24. Little Caesar (Izzy) ID JS15
5/19/14 at time of seizure
After 13 mile trip to WCHS
WCHS said he needed grooming.
What they did not know or ask was
that he had an ulcerated eye when
he came in to rescue. Jane felt
saving his eye was more important
that grooming. What do you think?

25. At WCHS after seizure
Cooper ID JS16 During seizure at
Jane Smith’s 05/1914
What happened to this little dog on
the 13 mile trip to WCHS on an open
trailer tied with bungee cords?

27. At WCHS after seizure
Yazee (Reginald) ID JS18
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Yazee is a “nippy” little dog with
people he doesn’t know, as a lot of
yorkies are. Will he survive or be
killed as a vicious dog?

After 13 mile trip to WCHS
The pillow is Baby Stella’s security blanket . . .
Does she still have it or is she sitting in a
crate with no comfort from home?

32. Payton on 05/19/14
ID JS23
At WCHS
WCHS said he was losing
his hair? He is a blue
chihuahua. Their hair is
very short anyway.

Baby Zoey (Zoey) IS JS 28
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Obviously a scared little dog – just
as obvious, person handling her is
giving no thought to comforting
her. These people did NOT CARE!

38. Scout on 05/19/14
ID JS29
Scout tested positive for heartworm and was
treated on 04/17/14. He was one of the 3 dogs
that WCHS said was heartworm positive and
wanted to kill because he was suffering.
Anyone involved in animal rescue should know
that a dog treated for heartworm can test
positive for up to 6 months after treatment.
Later tests proved he was heartworm negative.
He, also, would now be dead if Jane’s attorney
had not filed an appeal to stop the killing.

39. People involved in the seizure threatened to arrest Jane Smith if she talked to, gave
water to, or tried to clean cages. This is the way Bopper was transported to WCHS,
after sitting 5 hours in the sun. Bopper also had a new home waiting on him!

At WCHS
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a new
arrival, had been vetted
on 05/06/14 and was
given a clean bill of
health. WCHS said he
had green goop running
from eyes when seized

During seizure at
Jane Smith’s
05/1914
Mufasa was petrified & refused to
leave his crate. Jane offered to get
him out and was told he was evidence
and she could not touch him. SO. .. IS
THIS A CARING/COMPASSIONATE
BUNCH OF PEOPLE? He was
extremely scared when he arrived . . .
what is he like now?

47. At WCHS after seizure
Vinnie (Joseph) ID JS39

48. At WCHS after seizure
Bailey ID JS40
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Baily also had a new home to go to
that weekend – instead she has been
incarcerated for 6 months in a kennel
at WCHS. Doe this dog look dirty,
covered with feces or starving?

49. At WCHS after seizure
Regal ID JS41
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Regal had an appointment the
weekend after the seizure to
meet a potential new home . . . 6
months later she is still waiting
– at the WCHS in a kennel 24/7.

Remington
ID JS43
Smith’s 05/1914
THE PICTURES SAY
IT ALL!!
This dog was
absolutely terrified
and I don’t see
anyone giving him
comfort. Why does
the WCHS feel they
are a better place
than Jane Smith’s?

52. At WCHS after seizure
Daisy ID JS44

53. Piper & Pixie
At WCHS after seizure
Piper (Rico) ID JS46 &
Pixie (Katrina) ID JS47
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Piper & Pixie belong to Jane’s
daughters. They have been
unable to get them back. Again,
not dirty, no feces, good body
weight. Why were they seized?
Pixie was also one of the 3 dogs
that WCHS said was heartworm
positive and wanted to kill
because she was suffering. Later
tests proved she was heartworm
negative. She would now be
dead if Jane’s attorney had not
filed an appeal to stop the killing.

54. Jasper (Fawn) ID JS51
05/19/14 at time of seizure
After 13 mile trip to WCHS
At WCHS after seizure
Jasper had been returned 4 days
prior to the seizure in the condition
seen on the left. If covered in feces,
why would he be carried instead of
walked on a leash? He also had an
eye infection & medication was sent
with him. It does not look like they
used it, but accuse Jane of cruelty!

55. At WCHS after seizure
Zoey (Dawn) ID JS52
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
Again, a total lack of care for
a little dog that is confused
and scared!

56. At WCHS after seizure
Poppy (Duke) ID JS53

57. At WCHS after seizure
Kitty (Ronnie) ID JS37
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914
The cat had arrived at Jane’s only days
before. WCHS said he was so matted
they had to shave him. Cats are NOT
DOGS!! They must have time to adjust
before trying to groom them.

58. At WCHS after seizure
Edward ID JS38
During seizure at Jane Smith’s 05/1914

59. Jane has been charged
$300/month for the care of the
rabbit and the gecko. This is
extortion on the part of WCHS.
It DOES NOT COST $300/month
TO FEED A RABBIT OR
GECKO!
No bedding was provided for
the rabbit when seized. We
do not know whether or not
he was injured in transport
because of this.

60. Jane has also been charged
$300/month for the care of the
birds. Again, this is extortion
on the part of WCHS. It DOES
NOT COST $300/month TO
FEED A BIRD!

61. Parrots will go insane if not given enough
attention. They are also very difficult to rehome
because of their special needs – what kind of
interaction are they getting in the garage?
Mac, above, was put in a
dog crate with no perch
for transport. No way for
a parrot to travel.

62. Protective foot wear left behind – according to
the person above, her statement said that the
floor was covered in feces and she stuck to
the floor when walking. These were worn
inside and outside of the home during the
seizure (see picture above). There is no
evidence of what this person stated in her
report. PERJURY?

64. Dog on WCHS Adoption floor
with extremely long toe nails.
Part of charges against Jane
was long nails. These pictures
were taken after the seizure of
05/19.14.

65. Dog from an
approved WCHS
rescue. Note the
long nails. Why has
this rescue not been
targeted?

66. Dog from an approved WCHS
rescue. Note the extremely
long nails. Again, why has
this rescue not been
targeted?

67. Dog from an approved WCHS
rescue. Note the ungroomed
appearance. However, Jane
was found at fault for
ungroomed dogs.
