*** For full write-ups of happenings by date, please click HERE! *** Click each link to be taken to the YouTube video. May 5th, 2011 - The first day we were allowed access to evaluate the 4 dogs at Monroe County Animal Control. The dogs had been there since the beginning of March. We gave them basic vaccines and flea preventatives, assessed their overall condition, etc. The dogs were in in flimsy temporary kennels, about an inch separating each kennel from the next. We never saw any aggression between the dogs.
May 6th, 2011 - This day was our first "official" round of temperament testing: food tests. COMING SOON!!! May 9th, 2011 - Monday: Members of the Monroe SPCA and The Buster Foundation arrive to the outdoor kennels at MCAC to find Monroe and Reilly severely injured. Monroe was hardly recognizable, and both dogs were covered in what appeared to be some sort of sewage. The shelter staff said Monroe received his injuries on Friday after we left, when trying to get out of the kennel, getting his head stuck. No one could tell us what happened to Reilly, or when. Either way, both dogs were left injured and untreated over the weekend, allowing infection to rapidly set in. We requested an emergency meeting with the Judge, and were awarded custody of the dogs to get them emergency medical treatment. WARNING: Graphic Images - These videos document the dogs' injuries.
