AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 3 LOST AND POUND
The witness said she saw a woman open her car door and push two Cocker Spaniels out and then she drove away leaving the dogs whimpering and completely bewildered at their situation. Unfortunately the witness did not get a license plate number so that they could be prosecuted.
This is the story of Hannah and Jeffrey, two sweet Cocker Spaniels that were picked up by New London Animal Control a few months ago. They were so severely matted with feces and urine that they had to be completely shaved down. Their toenails were growing into their paw pads causing them to cry when they walked. They were suffering from chronic ear infections that were never treated. So much scar tissue had formed from these infections that their ear canals have closed over with cauliflower like scar tissue oozing with pus. What kind of person would do this to an animal? Sadly, in the Animal Control field we see this all too often. Ct. Animal House and Cocker Spaniel Rescue of New England have teamed up to help these dogs get the medical care they need to end their suffering. They have been examined by a Vet and it has been determined that they will both need an expensive surgery called a TECA. We estimate that this surgery will cost between 2500-3000 dollars for the pair. It is their only hope or they will have to be euthanized. Please consider making a donation in their names to Ct. Animal House. All donations are tax deductible and go directly to the animals waiting in local municipal pounds. Hannah and Jeffrey thank you!
