Dogs rescued from life of neglect

Three sick and neglected dogs, rescued the SPCA, have settled in to their new homes, but will require medication for the rest of their lives.

Cavalier king charles spaniels Jasper, Monty and Momma Cav were seized from their Lower Moutere home in January after a member of the public called the SPCA concerned they had been left unattended.

They had, and the man left to care for them while their owner was away was taken to court by the SPCA. Zane Dylan Whitbourne Parker admitted to a charge of failing to comply with the dogs' needs, and a charge of failing to make provisions to meet those needs in the Nelson District Court earlier this month.

He was convicted and ordered to pay a fine of $250 on each charge, and pay vet fees of $3700.
