Town of Saugerties as Dog Control Officer is hoping the public can help find the individuals who abandoned 2 young dogs during a stormy, cold October night.
Seventeen dogs—five adults and twelve puppies—were rescued from squalid conditions near Mohawk, New York, where a haunting sign on a tree read “Casa Doom.” Found with porcupine quills embedded in their faces and living in unsafe, filthy surroundings, the dogs are now safe but in urgent need of medical care.
A new litter of puppies in Central New York is in urgent need of homes, spotlighting a growing animal shelter crisis across the region. As local shelters reach capacity, rescue groups say they’re overwhelmed by the number of unwanted litters being surrendered.
