A Mannford woman was arrested after a search warrant at her residence turned up nearly 60 animals living in “poor” conditions.
On Sunday, February 1st, the Creek County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant and arrested Marjorie Satterfield, 69, in connection with the charges.
According to a statement on their Facebook page, CCSO found a number of severe problems with the environment for the animals:
- Dogs were found in stacked crates with little to no water, containing dead bugs. A bathroom housed a cat with litter boxes overflowing with feces and urine, while live bugs crawled across the floors and walls.
- A 10-foot by 24-foot building on the property contained 22 dogs and a rooster confined to stacked crates. These crates were lined with moldy newspapers, and most animals lacked access to food or water.
- Outside, deputies found emus, chickens, and goats in pens where water bowls were frozen, and food was either nonexistent or moldy.
It’s not the first time Satterfield has been arrested on animal cruelty charges. In 2018, the Sapulpa Times covered Satterfield as part of a story about a hypoallergenic poodle named Weasley gifted to a boy to be trained as a service dog. Satterfield and her non-profit Glad Wags had agreed to train Weasley at a deeply discounted rate.
The boy and his mother eventually parted ways with Satterfield after she was arrested on 123 complaints of animal cruelty at her residence in Skiatook. Weasley went on to be trained by a different organization and is still in the care of the boy and his mother.
Back in Mannford, a total of 59 animals were removed from the property, including 29 dogs, 4 cats, 12 chickens, 2 roosters, 1 guinea, 2 emus, 1 parrot, 2 small birds, 1 cow and 1 horse.
CCSO described the scene as one of “harrowing neglect,” and confirmed that a veterinarian for the Humane Society of Tulsa reported that all four goats on the property had suffered frostbite on their ears. Additionally, a cow was found with a deformed eye, according to their statement.
The Humane Society of Tulsa removed the animals from the residence and is currently attending to their care.
