A
dog that was recently rescued from a home in Apalachicola in an
animal cruelty case is now looking for a new home and the humane
society is asking for donations to help pay for her medical
treatment.
In
February, an Apalachicola woman was arrested and charged with animal
cruelty after a resident reported that a distressed dog was chained
by her neck at a home on Oyster Road.
The
dog, who's name is Mia, was found with deep cuts to her neck caused
by the heavy chain.
Mia
was treated at the Apalachicola Bay Animal Clinic and was recently
released to the Franklin County Humane Society.
The
Humane Society is now looking for a good home for Mia as well as
donations toward her medical care.
Mia’s
medical care for her injuries was substantial.
The
Apalachicola Bay Animal Clinic didn’t charge for hospitalization
but in addition to treating her injuries, Mia was spayed and still
needs to be treated for heartworms – and the humane society doesn't
have the funds to pay for the work.
The
Humane Society has a “second chance fund”.
The
funds in the account are used when animals need medical care above
and beyond routine care.
That
account has been depleted due to all the heartworm treatments the
humane society provides as well as other medical procedures, so the
group is asking for donations to help cover Mia’s care.
You
can make a donation through their website at www.forgottenpets.org.
Just
click on “help” and look for the “donate with paypal” icon.
You
can also simply mail a check to the Franklin County Humane Society at
244 highway 65, Eastpoint, FL 32328.http://live.oysterradio.com/
