A tiny dog had been tied in a trash bag and thrown into a Harrison’s Green Waste container in the Ventura, California area by an unknown cruel individual late last week. Bebe had been missing from her home for two days, and it seemed as if her tragic fate had been sealed in a trash bag destined to be crushed and dumped with yard clippings at the Gold Coast Recycling & Transfer Station.
Bebe got lucky – very lucky! A conscientious employee at the recycling center discovered the ten-year-old Chihuahua tumbling out a large green waste truck and quickly opened the moving trash bag to find a shivering little pooch. And then came even more compassion and heart; the CEO of the transfer station cared for the frightened dog throughout the night and brought her to the Camarillo Animal Shelter the next morning.
“Now that you have survived this nightmare, the next step is finding your way home,” the Ventura County Animal Services posted on their Facebook page. “You can’t speak, so you can only hope for another miracle. For that we turn to the dedicated and diligent staff at Ventura County Animal Services. Animal Control Officer Dereka Schoenewald happened to glimpse the face of this wide-eyed house pet when she was delivered into our care. What were the chances that these two would even see each other given that VCAS intakes 30 pets each day? But luck, let’s call it, smiled down once again on this canine companion. Officer Schoenewald recognized the dog! She looked similar to a dog she swiped through earlier that morning on Oxnard Missing Pets, a popular Facebook page dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their families,”
Officer Shoenewald compared the photos and called the phone number listed on the flyer – it was a match. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and from places one could never imagine. Do angels really exist and protect us? Many thanks to all of the heroes who have made Bebe’s rescue a success.

Sweet dog I pray that you find out who did this
Everything happens for a reason and people are put in place to make it happen. Thanks for being there!
Thank you VERY much to the smart, attentive and wonderful people who helped save this treasure and return her to her family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that whoever did this is found and fully prosecuted (& serves prison time) for their callous and cruel actions…….
There are spots in Hell waiting for the disgusting POS’s who stole and hurt this precious furbaby. They will burn forever for their cruelty…… here’s hoping that they get there ASAP, after dying afraid, alone and in horrible pain……
May the Scum who did this suffer KARMA at its worst!!!
HUGE THANK YOU to the recycling center worker and Animal Control Officer Dereka Schoenwald for their compassion and diligence for this little dog – They are true HEROES – if not for their dedication and persistence this little one would have died. They not only saved a life, Ms. Schoenwald found the rightful owners and reunited them w/the scared dog. I hope these owner’s realized the horrific ending that could have happened and now are diligent in making sure their dog is supervised at all times. Someone knows who the maggot is that is responsible for attempting to kill this dog – Step up, turn them in – they need to be punished for their cruelty.
Happy that Bebe was saved and reunited with her family. Thank you to all who made this happened. May the POS who dumped Bebe in a trash bin rot in hell.
Someone up there was looking out for little Bebe and made sure things fell in place to save her. I wish they would find the POS that dumped her like this, they deserve to be prosecuted.
Oh my gosh how wonderful they are such a loving family. It’s good to know they didn’t do this to her. Now it’s time to find the monster who did.
I hope they find the monster responsible for this….. my guess would be someone they know…..
Now, thats the kind of stories I like to read. Now found the scum that stole her in the first place and tack their hides to the wall.
Thank you
God bless you all for a job well done. Wish you could go over to other counties and TEACH their A/C officers and facilities how it’s done as so many are guilty on a daily basis of turning their backs on these innocent victims. I pray these communities are motivated by these examples to get these scoundrels fired and supervisors who condone their inept dereliction of duty voted out. They work for us, yet come of them operate as if we work for them. Shameful!
