Dog found cemented to a sidewalk and left to die is recovering at Tri-County Humane

- Florida, USA -

The animal rescue Tri-County Humane has been caring for a dog who was found cemented to a sidewalk off Yamato Road in Boca Raton. A Good Samaritan found him and took him to the shelter.

On January 23, 2023, the nonprofit shared pictures of the VOICELESS VICTIM whom they named Trooper. In a Facebook post, they said the pup’s smell was “unbearable”.

While Trooper was being shaved down, maggots crawled from his fur. He had overgrown nails and terrible dental decay.

Staff do not know for how long Trooper was left in that condition but it definitely did not happen overnight. Dr. Julia Sheehan, the veterinarian who has been treating Trooper, told 25WPBF that the poor pooch had been lying in his own waste for so long, he had literally been glued to the ground. “It took them, they say, about an hour to pick him up off the sidewalk. He was stuck,” she said.

Dr. Sheehan estimates that Trooper is about 10 years old and is a Pekingese mix.

Tri-County Humane said that Trooper was diagnosed with twenty-two medical conditions. Among his most critical ailments are paralysis, heart murmur, corneal ulcers, enlarged prostate, worms, severe periodontal disease, ear infections, and urinary tract infection.

Trooper is recovering and Dr. Sheehan said his prognosis is excellent.

I have emailed the Boca Raton Police Department to inquire whether they are investigating the incident and I learned that they are not so I have also emailed the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. If I hear back, I will post an update.

I f you wish and can afford to help out with Trooper’s medical care, please click here. Thank you!

AISHA ARZUAGA arrested for animal cruelty for refusing to seek further treatment for her injured dog

- Florida, USA -

On December 2, 2022, the Lee County Sheriff's Office Animal Cruelty Task Force launched an investigation after a dog was left at a Fort Myers veterinary hospital in poor condition.

The furbaby, a female Pitbull mix named Terra, was treated on October 25, 2022, for a fractured front left leg after being struck by a car. According to a news release by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, when Terra was treated, the veterinarian recommended further treatment or amputation of Terra's leg, but her guardian refused.

The sheriff’s office has identified Terra’s guardian as 19-years-old AISHA ARZUAGA (pictured).

The news release goes on to say that by November, ARZUAGA “had made numerous calls to local veterinarians stating Terra's wounds were bleeding.” When ARZUAGA was advised Terra needed surgery, she declined again.

On November 30, 2022, ARZUAGA took Terra back to the veterinarian and got into a verbal argument with staff, so she left the clinic leaving Terra behind.

Ultimately, ARZUAGA agreed to surrender Terra to Lee County Domestic Animal Services.

“Veterinarians noted Terra had been chewing through her bandages, and when the wrap was removed, there were open sores and her leg was completely dead. Terra's leg has since been amputated,” stated the release.

ARZUAGA was arrested on December 20, 2022, for aggravated animal cruelty.

Online records show she is being held on no bond in the Lee County Jail, or as Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno calls it, the “Marceno Motel.”

Sheriff Marceno said: “I will not tolerate the abuse of defenseless animals in Lee County. I know Terra will find a loving home, while her previous owner sits behind bars at the Marceno Motel.”

ARZUAGA is expected to appear in Lee County Circuit Court on January 23, 2023, at 8:30 a.m.

According to arrest records, ARZUAGA was arrested on September 29, 2022, by the Cape Coral Police Department on unrelated charges.
