A dog found on the side of the road in Deerpark in an emaciated and ailing condition has died after emergency medical treatment, the Humane Society of Port Jervis and Deerpark reported.
The white pit bull terrier, who staff nicknamed Sweet Sally for her disposition, was found on beside Route 209 and 3rd Street in Cuddebackville in a rainstorm on Feb. 24 and brought to the Humane Society by a good Samaritan.
The Humane Society said in a press release she weighed just 28 pounds and was so weak she could not stand on her own. Her body temperature was low and she was dehydrated. Staff thought she might not have eaten for “at least” several weeks.
She weighed just 28 pounds.
