Bob CollinsTammie Hedges really irked Frank Sauls, animal services manager for Wayne County, who had Hedges arrested after she set up a temporary emergency shelter located in a warehouse in Rosewood, N.C.
“We were trying to help abandoned animals,” Hedges tells the Goldsboro News-Argus. “We knew North Carolina didn’t have any regulations or laws regarding shelters for animals.
“So a group of us got together to do something to help those animals is why we opened our building to them so they’d have a safe dry place to go until their owners returned to get them.
“I had not gone out and gotten any animals, but a couple of independent rescuers had gotten some from flooded areas and brought them to me.”
She was arrested and charged with practicing veterinary medicine without a license.
As a volunteer and one of the directors for CCNP's Board, I need to make a personal comment. For those being judgemental…

The animals have been confiscated by the animal control department. Hodges is due back in court in October.
