Original Story: In March 2015 we rescued a senior aged Pit Bull from neglect. She was covered in over 500 ticks, dehydrated, and emaciated. The ticks also caused severe anemia. There were other dogs on the property that were well taken care of. The owners said that they placed her in the yard because she had gotten old and sometimes peed inside the house. Lady was examined by our veterinarians and receiving care for the tick infestation and other senior needs.
Update July 2015: Lady is now completely healthy! She is tick and anemic free. Lady has regained all of her weight back. We have submitted a request for animal neglect charges to the District Attroney’s office.
Update August 2015: There is an active warrant for the arrest of the suspect, Lady’s previous owner.
Update October 2015: Lady has been adopted and is living out her life in the country.
