Gwen: Another Animal Services Success Story
Gwen, a stray dog, was picked up by the St. Tammany Department of Animal Services on July 27, 2010. She had been severely neglected and faced a host of health problems. Her hair was matted so badly around her face she could not open her mouth properly to eat. Her nails were so long they impeded her movement. Her eyes had been neglected to the point where she could not see out of one eye. The mats and knots in her hair were larger than fists in some places and pulled the hair on her body painfully.
“No dog should be neglected like this,” said Animal Services Director Melisa Sullivan-Piwetz. “My staff immediately fell in love with her, and she is such a sweet dog we are determined to get her healthy and adopted to a loving home.”
After several weeks of treatment and testing, it appears as if Gwen will be ready for adoption the week of August 20th. Animal Services would like to extend a sincere thank you to Jason Sims at the Veterinary Medical Center in Slidell, who spent many hours with Gwen grooming and removing the mats and knots from her fur.
While stray animals often have minor health problems, the case of Gwen and her neglect is extreme. “She has done very well with all her treatments. She will...
