Another person is facing a felony charge in an animal cruelty case that led to a dog being euthanized in Warren.

A prohibitions concerning companion animals charge was filed against Stephanie Swegan in Warren Municipal Court on Friday.

Healthy Hearts and Paws Project founder Jason Cooke says it’s related to the May 10 discovery of a dog he named Baby.


The dog was found lying at the bottom of the basement steps in a home on Oak Knoll Avenue.

Cooke says Baby was emaciated and dehydrated, and had a mass with an open wound and infection. He described it as the worst case of animal neglect he’s seen.

The dog was taken to a veterinarian but it was too late.

Thomas Leimkuehler has also been charged in the case.

Thomas Leimkuehler, 44, was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty in January to one count of cruelty against companion animals. Judge Cynthia Westcott also ordered Leimkuehler to serve 45 days of his 180-day jail sentence, suspending 135 days. In addition, he was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and pay $321 in restitution to an animal charity, and he is prohibited from purchasing any type of animal for a pet during the time of his probation.

Leimkuehler was charged following a May 2025 incident at his Oak Knoll Avenue home, where an emaciated dog was found chained up in the basement. The animal later died.
