On July 28, the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Animal Law Enforcement team executed a search warrant and found two dogs in the yard without access to shade or adequate shelter in the extreme temperatures.
Both of the dogs were seized and transported to the PSPCA’s headquarters for forensic examination and care.
PSPCA searched the property on the 1200 block of West Russell Street after getting tips from the public, where they discovered a vehicle matching the description of the one featured in security footage from ACCT Philly’s headquarters of two women leaving puppies covered in necrotic wounds and maggots at the shelter on Thursday.
The investigation began when ACCT Philly contacted the PSPCA’s Animal Law Enforcement team about two critically injured puppies left outside of ACCT Philly on Thursday afternoon. The puppies were transferred into the care of the PSPCA and received emergency veterinary care.
The two puppies had necrotic wounds and were infested with maggots throughout their small bodies. They are currently recovering in the PSPCA’s care and are improving daily, the PSPCA says.
“Through the hard work and dedication of our Animal Law Enforcement team, and with the assistance of those who helped identify the individuals in question, two more animals are safe in our care today,” said Nicole Wilson, Director of Animal Law Enforcement and Shelter Services at the Pennsylvania SPCA. “Every day our team is working to save animals from acts of cruelty and neglect, and since Thursday, we’ve been working furiously to determine if more animals were suffering at the home of those who dumped the puppies. Through our investigation, we found that to be the case, and we are proud to say that all four animals are safe today.”
Anyone with information about this case, or other cases involving animal cruelty, is urged to call the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Cruelty Hotline at (866) 601-SPCA. Tips can be left anonymously.
