Dogs found malnourished, infested with mange
Waymart, PA (US)

Incident Date: Monday, Oct 27, 2008
County: Wayne

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Robyn Dolph

Robyn Dolph of Waymart is charged with one count of animal cruelty relating to her three dogs. She's charged with failing to provide food and veterinary care for a mastiff and vet care for both a rottweiler and a yorkshire terrier.

A complaint came in to Dessin Animal Shelter on October 27 about a "very skinny mastiff with a skin condition ...(and) a rottweiler that was also patchy," Metzger said. When Metzger questioned Dolph about the two dogs, the owner allegedly told her, "take them," keeping the yorkie.

The two dogs were taken to the vet, where the mastiff was diagnosed with mange. "He had bloody, scabby sores all over his body and he was skinny," Metzger said. "I'd say he was probably 20 to 30 pounds under weight. As of Thursday's interview, they were still being treated for "various illnesses and conditions" Metzger said, but were doing well.
