Thomasville Animal Control Officer Candace Lewis was responding to an animal welfare check on 2/19/14 where she found 2 dogs chained, starving and in need of help. The tan female (Daisy) quickly grabbed her empty bowl when she saw officer Lewis approaching and brought it to her. She kept pawing and nudging at the bowl hoping that Officer Lewis would put something in it for her to eat or drink. Neither Roscoe nor Daisy had food or water and both were hungry and thirsty. Officer Lewis obtained a seizure warrant, called us for help and brought the 2 dogs into Davidson Animal Hospital to get them the help they needed.
At the animal hospital Roscoe and Daisy were immediately fed and given water. They were quickly going back and forth between the water and the food. Their thirst and hunger was the same. Dr. Hedrick gave them a full exam- Both dogs were dehydrated and emaciated. They each had fleas, hookworms, and both have tested positive for Heartworms.
Daisy was aged around 4 yrs old. She had fur loss around her neck, above her nose, scarring on her eye, pressure soars on her hind and legs. Her collar was exceptionally loose and you could tell just how big she once was.
Roscoe was aged around 6-7 yrs old possibly older. He has scaring on his ears most likely from fly bites and he also has a pressure soar on his hind. One of his eyes has cataracts and he has already stared to grey under his chin.
Both Roscoe and Daisy were vaccinated, they have began their de-worming cycle and are being fed frequent nutritional meals to help them gain their weight back. They are very sweet and so happy to be the center of attention. They will need to be spay/neutered when they are deemed healthy enough to undergo surgery and they will also need to be treated for Heartworms.

My God how can humans be so cruel to dogs. My heart goes out to them and thank you to the person who rescued them. I hope charges are pending against the abuser
thank you for helping these 2… Sad it keeps going on, and hope owners will be prosecuted.. blaten neglect is unacceptable !!!
Good grief, if people can't take care of them , at the very least, unchain them.
Why get a dog, or any pet, that you don't intend to care for!!! If you can't afford to PROPERLY feed and care for an animal, DON'T GET ONE!!!
I will never understand people that get a pet and then neglect them, don't get them in the first place….I hope and pray these babies get loving home as soon as they are able to be fostered or adopted. They deserve nothing less. Is the former owner of these animals being held accountable????? POS
My heart sinks when I am reminded of the evil that is possible for humans to display… To watch living things, particularly loving animals waste away, and not only do nothing about it, but also go on living without remorse is true evil. The consequences for animal cruelty need to be more severe.
something more than a slap on the hand needs to been do to the owners of these poor babies, I don't understand why this happens, It is so sad to think of these poor animals being treated this way. I'm not a rich person and sometimes money is tight but my 3 dogs and 3 cats get food. They are not animals they are my fur babies and they are very spoiled! If there was harsher punishments for people that treat animals this way maybe it wouldn't happen so often!
And what is going to be done to the owners of the dogs? Their paychecks should be garnished of wages to pay for these dogs care. Then they should be locked up.
That is assuming whoever owned them has gainful employment. Probably not, however.
This is sad and the people who did should be chained up and left outside so they can see how it feels.
People can be so cruel.
Sharing and hopeing for a full recovery. The owner needs to be charged with cruelty!!
And this is only ONE story about the inhumane treatment of beautiful pets….so many die neglected because no one knows about the terrible treatment ! if anyone suspects a neighbour of this abuse.please call animal control to check !
are u close to Greensboro? my daughter lives up there and I'd love for her to see the doggies. I will do my best to donate as soon as I get ahead of my medical bills (been battling multiple myeloma for 4yrs., it's expensive!)..but will try to do something. God bless the doggies and those taking care of them.
cannot stop my tears to write praying
Is rosco good with other pits/dogs? And a fat cat? Also kids
am interested in Daisy! Clt1sle@aol.com…what are the charges?
I agree with randy. Make the losers pay one way or another
