The SPCA and Pottsville Police are investigating a case of animal cruelty in the city.
According to Skook News, police were investigating a domestic disturbance at 234 Wallace Street, on July 2nd, when they learned that a dog had been slammed into a concrete patio.
In addition to the injured dog, officers also observed at least four other dogs in the residence along with a litter of puppies.
It was also learned that the animals in the house were not receiving any veterinary care and were not licensed.
Due to the deplorable condition of the home and the dog’s injury, the owner relinquished ownership of the injured dog along with the seven puppies and the mother to the SPCA.
The investigation into the animal cruelty is continuing pending receipt of the official veterinary report following complete treatment for the injured animal.
