(CBS/AP) Police say a Colorado woman wrapped her boyfriend's dog in packing tape and stuck the animal upside down to a refrigerator because he wouldn't get rid of it.

Abby Toll was arrested Tuesday after police say she got into a fight with her boyfriend. She was charged with felony cruelty, drug possession and other counts and is free on $12,500 bond. She has declined to comment.

Toll's 21-year-old boyfriend, Bryan Beck, faces lesser charges including a misdemeanor cruelty count.

Police say Toll, 20, used packing tape to bind the legs, snout and tail of Beck's dog, Rex, a Japanese breed called a Shiba Inu. She told police she stuck the dog to the refrigerator because she was angry Beck wanted to keep it.

Toll also is accused of slapping Beck and throwing a vase and soda bottle at him. In addition, police say they found a trace amount of heroin in her possession at the jail, reports CBS-4 in Denver.

Rex was taken to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley with Toll's Chihuahua, which wasn't involved in the alleged abuse, reports CBS-4. The society said Thursday that Beck has signed over custody of Rex, and the dog will be put up for adoption after going through some training.

"Our training staff is working with him to get him over his fear issues, to get him more socialized with people so he can trust humans again," society CEO Lisa Pedersen said.

He won’t get rid of the girlfriend, so the dogs are much better off being adopted.

Sad thing is he gave up Rex to the humane society, what the crazy woman wanted in the first place. I have to wonder if he still wants her.

What ever. They should duct tape her to the side of the tallest brige in America and leave her for a week or so. People who abuse animals cannot be in their right mind. The animals are so helpless, I wished she would pick on someone who was her own size, leave Gods creatures alone.
