FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$1,000 Reward for Information on Severely Neglected Dog Found in Hudson
Hudson, NY – The Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA (CGHS/SPCA) is seeking information regarding a severely neglected female Pitbull mix recently found in Hudson, NY. The dog, currently named “Petal,” weighed in at only 32 pounds – less than half her healthy weight of approximately 65 pounds. Petal was assessed as a “1” on the Purina Body Condition Score chart, indicating extreme emaciation. Her condition suggests prolonged neglect, and she may be from the Hudson or Chatham vicinity.
CGHS/SPCA is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this cruelty. Anyone with information is urged to contact CGHS/SPCA Cruelty Unit at (518) 828-6044. All calls will be kept confidential.
“This level of neglect is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” said CGHS/SPCA President/CEO and Cruelty Investigator Ron Perez. “We are determined to find whoever is responsible and hold them accountable for this poor dog’s intolerable condition.”
Petal is now safe and receiving care at CGHS/SPCA.
