Allow us to place a memorial bench on City or County Property in memory of Caleb the neglected puppy
Final supporters
Petitioning the following officials:
- Mayor Kasim Reed of Atlanta Georgia,
- Mr. Richard Anderson Fulton County Georgia Manager
- Mr. Lee Morris Fulton County Georgia Commissioner representing district 3
- Mr. Tony Phillips Fulton County Georgia Parks & Recreation Director
In August 2016, strangers from around the world pulled together in the hopes of saving a 3 month old puppy named Caleb found critically hurt and emaciated in Atlanta, GA. He died three days later at the emergency vet hospital. The truth of what really happened to him is shrouded in mystery but what we do know is that society let him down and instead of a happy playful life that he should have had--he was neglected by us as a society, as he was starved, and ate rocks and sticks to survive. His little body, impacted with debris caused him excruciating pain as seen in this video shortly after he was found after someone tossed him over a fence like garbage,
We the undersigned, request that Fulton County and City of Atlanta officials allow our group to place a bench or some type of memorial, with money from a fundraiser, in one of the common areas of the county such as a public park, dog park, public building yard, etc. The bench will be inscribed with an image of Caleb and a sentence or two to remind the public of the importance of society as a whole in its responsibility to care for all living beings and that the protection of animals is a mandatory, humane function.
All the money to purchase the memorial bench will be from donors who have been involved all along in Caleb’s sad little life and unnecessary death.
Currently, we have approximately $1,700 left over from the first Caleb fundraiser for the hiring of the PI. Another fundraiser was started for a memorial in a pet cemetery but due to a glitch or misunderstanding, all the money was automatically refunded to the donors of this second fundraiser. So if you have not donated please do so, NO MATTER HOW SMALL. Or if you have received a refund, please consider re-donating. We will keep you updated of the officials' decisions. If the memorial happens to be rejected, then all the funds will be donated to a worthy animal advocacy group as originally proposed on the first fundraiser.

I sobbed when I read about precious puppy Caleb! This horrific crime needs to be punished, and to the greatest extent of the law! Evil people like this should never be allowed near animals, and belong in jail! Please find the person(s) responsible!
Get this depraved sub human!!!! The public isn't safe!!. It shouldn't take a petition to get it gone!!!! A animal's life has just as much right for Justice!!! The.thought of what that poor puppy endured makes me physically ill, overwhelming sad.
Animal abuse of ANY kind cannot be tolerated - statistics indicate that animal abuse, if not stopped, leads to abuse and tortue of humans. What happened to poor Caleb is horrific and the person/persons responsible must be located and brought to justice
Please use your resources to locate this criminal. This person is or will definitely harm humans as well as other innocent animals. They pose a serious & imminent threat to society. Please don't let this sweet dog's life end in vain. Thank you.
This has to be the MOST HEINOUS act inflicted on an innocent sentient creature, and a BABY at that! The MONSTER who did this will strike again. FIND and bring that sick individual to justice. Our children and pets are NOT safe with him/her out there!!!
I am the anonymous from Japan. I am sad to know that there is no one signing anymore. Please at least do not forget about Caleb. Please share and talk about him if you still remember about what has happened to this beautiful creature. Thank you so much.
Since 2016 I have been haunted by this awful pain caused to Caleb. Justice for Caleb. To make this world a better place for every living creature . Caleb remains in my heart as long as I live.

My heart was broken over Caleb. Please, we need stronger laws to hold people accountable for what they do to innocent animals. People like that will continue to hurt animals, children, women, and men unless they are held accountable for their actions.
