Maddox Court
A pit bull type puppy was surrendered by his owner May 22. The puppy was saturated and stained from urine and was very thin. The owner said she did not have time for the puppy and that he spent all of his time in his crate. Several days later, a complaint came in regarding an abandoned puppy on Maddox Court. A pit bull type puppy was found tied and tangled to a post. Animal Control spoke with the resident, who said they had gotten this puppy after they had surrendered the other puppy to Animal Control several days earlier. They told the officer they did not want this puppy either. The dog was surrendered to Animal Control and both puppies from this owner have since been adopted into loving homes.
