Animal Cruelty Case Finally Resolved
Gracie and Serena are two beautiful Husky mixes that have been at the Adoption Center since early Oct. 2009. After being confiscated by Franklin County Animal Control due to Animal Cruelty they were transferred to the Humane Society where they were treated and housed.
Both dogs were in very poor physical condition. They suffered from mange, intestinal parasites were emaciated and Gracie tested positive for heartworms. They were treated for mange, and for their intestinal parasites. They were fed twice a day to gain weight and strength and socialized to become adoptable once the case came to a close.
As so often happens, this case became bogged down in the legal system and the dogs have only recently become wards of the county and available for adoption.
Serena is heartworm negative so she will be spayed and available for adoption this week however, Gracie will have to be treated for heartworms before she can be spayed and adopted out.
The Humane Society is asking for donations to treat Gracie for heartworms. If you can help, please mail your donation to P.O. Box 417, Eastpoint, FL 32328.
The Humane Society invites anyone interested to come to the Adoption Center to meet these beautiful and brave girls.
