Pregnant, Starved Dog Abandoned

This severely neglected, starved and pregnant dog was abandoned, tied to a fence outside a closed animal shelter in Paterson, New Jersey more than a week ago. In sub-freezing temperatures she gave birth to eight puppies, six died not surprisingly.

A good Samaritan found the dog and puppies by the fence after the owner abandoned her. They called animal controls and stayed by her side until animal control officer John DeCando got to the shelter about 10 minutes later.

The momma dog and her two surviving puppies were taken in by the shelter and are being cared for. Kim Deslande, a dog groomer with a big heart, is now the dog’s guardian. After they are recovered they will be put up for adoption.

In the meantime, authorities want to find out the cold hearted and callous person who left this severely neglected dog in the freezing cold to give birth to her puppies.

A $7,500 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of the owner, who could face a $20,000 fine and five years in jail if convicted.

Anyone with information is asked to call 973-881-3640.

Anyone interesting in adopting the dogs can call the Save the Animals Rescue Team at 201-797-8861.
