Before
While there are hundreds of dogs that have benefited from the services provided by Westport Animal Care staff and volunteers, none better typifies the heart of Westport Animal Control (WAC) than Charlotte, the brindle boxer pup. She arrived at WAC in dire straits and near death. She was severely emaciated with pressure sores covering her joints from being tethered which did not permit her to move. She was severely dehydrated which led to cracked skin particularly on her nose and around her mouth. The staff and volunteers dug into their pockets to assist the town with vet care. She was put on a healthcare regime to fatten her up, heal her body and remove the mental scars of such abuse. Animal Control Officer Peter D’Amico insisted that she stay at WAC until she was declared physically fit. Our beloved Charlotte now resides with a wonderful family that love and spoil her every single day. Charlotte is a wonderful ambassador for her breed and shelter dogs everywhere.
