Mistreated dog takes farm holiday
A young South Auckland dog locked in a room and left to die is enjoying his Christmas holiday on a farm with some new canine friends.
'Job' was left in an emaciated state, near death with hardly any hair and pus-filled sores all over his body when he was rescued from a vacant Housing New Zealand property earlier this year. He had been abused before he was abandoned. The dog's injuries were so severe, the SPCA had trouble identifying his breed.
Auckland SPCA Managing Director Jane Thompson say Job seems to have captured the public's heart and gifts have been flowing in from people around the country. Ms Thompson says the dog is on the mend, has a lot more energy and is running around, although his condition still needs to be carefully monitored.
He is unable to be adopted until legal proceedings against those who mistreated him are completed and his health improves markedly. Sheese, that could take months if not years. We know how long it takes someone to go to court!!

Time to court... goodness, not here!, the Christchurch City Council is very efficient. They lie, cant fill in an infringment notice correctly and then pretend there is no dissent. Makes processing so much more convenient and the 'dog catchers' figures look so good at the end of the year, all those 'orrible dogs off lead and all over the roads, chasing cats!
