25 Animals Surrendered to
the New Hampshire SPCA
 |
On Monday, October 25, 2004, the
New Hampshire SPCA was in receipt of 25 animals as a result
of an investigation in a neighboring town. The animals were
voluntarily surrendered to the NHSPCA and include 23 dogs,
one Cockatoo bird and one horse. |
 |
| Steve Sprowl, the NHSPCA's Cruelty Investigator,
along with 5 additional staff, assisted police officers in the
case. All of the animals arrived at the NHSPCA's Adoption Center
in need of immediate medical care. |
 |
Medical concerns include multiple intestinal parasites such
as coccidia, round worm and whip worm, in addition to cases
of heartworm and demodectic mange. A 22 year old mare arrived
nearly 200 pounds underweight and the Cockatoo, also underweight,
is feather-bare on her abdomen, battling an infection.
Many of the dogs are less than 18 months old, and yet most
of them need to have their dental issues addressed. Of the
23 dogs surrendered, all but one are purebred. Sadly, one
of the puppies has been diagnosed with pneumonia and one of
the dogs is confirmed to be pregnant.

Each of these new arrivals will undergo various medical treatments
including being spayed and neutered to prepare them for adoption.
Due to the many medical conditions of these 25 animals,
their stay at our Adoption Center promises to be lengthy and
costly!

The NHSPCA is committed to the welfare of animals in our
community and donations and supplies are again greatly
needed to assist in providing care for these 25 new residents.
