Four severely neglected dogs were seized from a home in Taylor County. One was euthanized due to complications from its condition.
Rescue the Animals, SPCA and the Taylor County Sheriff’s Department removed the animals from the home. A press release from Rescue the Animals says, ” there were 4 dogs on the property at the time of the seizure. One was in such bad shape from starvation that it had to be taken to the vet and euthanized. The other three are walking skeletons, and are being evaluated for medical problems in addition to starvation.”
The survivors are currently in the care of Dearing Veterinary Clinic where they “are responding well and gaining weight,” the press release reads.
The dogs will continue to recover in the court-awarded-custody of Rescue the Animals before they are available for adoption.
“We hope that everyone in the Big Country will report cases of animal abuse or neglect that they see,” said Paul Washburn, President, of Rescue the Animals, SPCA. “The only hope animals like these have is for people to call local law enforcement or Rescue the Animals, SPCA. We believe that only a small percentage of cruelty and abuse cases are ever reported.”
