Upon arrival, the officer found two emaciated Boxer puppies in a wire crate with no food, water, or bedding. The puppies were covered in ulcers and had raw spots on their pads from standing in their own urine.
The officer took the puppies into custody, posted the property and immediately took the puppies to the vet for treatment.
The owner of the puppies found the notice, called the responding officer and told her he was breeding the mother dog for puppies to sell. He stated there were originally eight puppies, but they had been dying one by one.
The officer had the owner bring in the remaining puppy, who was lethargic and even more emaciated. The puppy was taken to the vet immediately, but died several days later after not responding to medical care.
The owner also told the officer he had taken one of the other puppies to the vet. The officer requested vet records for that puppy and it was determined that puppy had died of head trauma.
Multiple animal cruelty charges will be issued for the owner.
