Former LA Pit Bull Rescuer/Trainer Arrested Again, after Failing Drug Test
Details
ANIMAL WATCH-Steffan Baldwin, former Los Angeles Pit Bull advocate/rescuer and dangerous dog trainer, "flunks drug test, violates bond," according to an Ohio MJT headline on December 17, 2020.
Baldwin, founder of Save Them Dog Training and co-founder of Underdog Alliance was originally taken into custody on July 24, 2020, by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and held for arraignment on 42 felony and misdemeanor charges -- 13 of which involve animal cruelty. All stem from alleged criminal activities in Ohio and California.
Baldwin was a hero among "No Kill" advocates. When Los Angeles Animal Services GM Brenda Barnette, announced the 2018 opening of Weingart Center for the homeless and their pets on downtown LA's Skid Row, the LA Times stated that Steffan Baldwin had been selected as the dog trainer for the facility.
