Petition: Demand Accountability for Woman Who Severely Neglected Dog

A dog was barking. That was nothing new on its own. But when the poor dog continued to bark repeatedly in a small Connecticut town, neighbors grew worried and contacted authorities. And it’s good that they did because officials later determined that the poor dog – Rocky, the poodle – had been enduring severe neglect!
The poodle’s human had left him at home – alone – for around 24 hours without care. Even worse, she had locked him up in a crate in the basement without anyone to look after him or give him relief from his little cage. Poor Rocky was surely panicking as he barked and barked without an answer.
When authorities brought the dog to veterinarians, medical experts agreed that the dog had been neglected for quite some time. He was severely malnourished, with his body wasting away until all of his ribs and other bones showed through his skin. Apparently, for a poodle Rocky’s size, he should have weighed 50 pounds. Instead, we weighed less than half that – only 21 pounds.
Additionally, his body had become inflamed with a condition called “urine scald” from repeatedly urinating on himself without being cleaned up afterward. His matted hair had accumulated not only urine but also feces, leaving him with painful open wounds.
Please sign this petition to protect animals by asking authorities to implement a ban on living with animals!
