| "Delila" & "Winston" were the only survivors of many dogs who were found by the CCHS Welfare Officer when investigating a call stating animals had been abandoned at a residence. No one was living at the house at the time, although it was stated that someone was feeding the dogs. The graphic photos taken at the scene are being held in evidence, but the CCHS Welfare Officer states there were many dead dogs in varying stages of decomposition, including one body with his head stuck in an automatic feeder. All the dead animals were in pens or otherwise confined. |
"Mr. Red" was surrendered to volunteers of the CCHS after many complaints were made about his health. His owner was repeatedly given educational information of proper horse care and was given feed and hay to feed Mr. Red. By the time the CCHS volunteer was allowed to take him to give him proper care, it was too late. A veterinarian was called in to assist getting Mr. Red back to health, but later he recommended euthanasia for humane reasons. |
