PUPPY RESCUED
The Suffolk County SPCA announced today that it has rescued a six-month old Pit Bull puppy, named "Red" who was in need of serious veterinary care because of bite wounds to her eye. The puppy was owned by the subject who was charged with dousing his dog with chlorine bleach and gasoline then setting fire to it. The dog, named "Maximus" by his caregivers, died from his wounds a few days later.
Chief Roy Gross of the Suffolk County SPCA said that the puppy was kept at least 10 days with the bite wounds over her right eye without receiving proper veterinary care. The injury will need follow-up veterinary care and rehabilitation. "She is a loveable girl who loves to cuddle with her human friends," said Gross.
The Suffolk County SPCA is appealing to the public for financial help, support so that we may provide the necessary medical care for Red, and eventually adopt her to a loving family and new home. We are a private, nonprofit, charitable organization and the voice for animals in SuffolkCounty. We do not receive taxpayer or public funding and we must rely on the support and generosity of donors to exist.
Please help us to provide a better life for Red and to help us protect the other animals in Suffolk County. Donations can be mailed to: Suffolk County SPCA, 363 Rt. 111, Smithtown, NY11787 or by logging on to our website www.suffolkcountyspca.org.
