Hundreds of dogs taken from a Pike County puppy mill weekend are on the road to recovery Monday morning.The cocker spaniels were brought the Gahanna Animal Hospital for treatment over the weekend.
Veterinarians say the four male puppies, all brothers, were malnourished, severely under weight and didn’t know how to respond to human contact.
The two adult female cocker spaniels acted the same way and were also under weight, starving and needed medical attention.
Dr. Joy Harkins says it’s hard to see dogs brought to her in this condition.
“[I am] more saddened and disappointed. Unfortunately these things happen and people are more interested in making money than caring about animals, which are really the innocent people on earth that need to be looked after,” says Harkins.
Since the dogs are still part of an investigation, they won’t be available for foster homes for a couple of weeks. If you do want to become a foster parent, contact the Ohio SPCA
