Molly, the dog rescued in what the BC SPCA called ‘one of the most horrific animal cruelty cases they have ever seen‘ is making a slow recovery.
The SPCA says they are so thankful for the outpouring of support and good thoughts for the dog.
She is now living with her foster mother while she recovers and she continues to improve day by day.
Police in Port Hardy were called to a home on Nov. 25 in response to a complaint of animal cruelty. There they discovered Molly, who was extremely emaciated and tied up on her owner’s porch.
“She was in critical condition, non-responsive and shivering, with a collar deeply embedded in her neck,” says Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA’s chief prevention and enforcement officer. “The constable immediately rushed Molly to a nearby veterinary hospital, where staff provided emergency treatment to keep her alive and removed the embedded collar from her neck.”
The BC SPCA says Molly, who is 18 months old, has a long recovery process ahead and is expected to stay in foster care for several weeks before being placed in a new home. The BC SPCA is continuing its investigation and will be recommending charges of animal cruelty against Molly’s former owners.
The BC SPCA depends on community donations to fund its cruelty investigations work. To help Molly and other animals, visit their website.
