Midland SPCA: Animal Cruelty is Something We See Often

The Midland SPCA tells Big 2 animal cruelty is something
they see quite often. The shelter said at least two pets are dropped off each
week. Today a Midlander brought in an abused Cocker Spaniel mix to the shelter.
"She is in pretty bad condition, she’s probably got
tick fever, she's real anemic you can tell that by the color of her gums,"
said Dorothy Reed, a staff member at the Midland SPCA.
The abused dog was found in an alley this morning. Her name
and who abused her are unknown. Reed believes the dog was abused for at least 6
months.
"We're going to do the best we can to take care of
her, and get her all cleaned up and get these ticks off of her, and try to get her some
medical attention and maybe get her a good home," she said.
Reed said finding a home for an abused animal is much more
difficult because of the medical expenses.
The
Cock Spaniel mix is expected to make it. Right now the shelter is completely
full. Help rescue an abandoned animal by going to the
