Dog found severely neglected, matted
Terre Haute, IN (US)

Incident Date: Friday, Jan 15, 2010
County: Vigo

Disposition: Alleged

Abuser names unreleased

Animal Control and environmental officers in Terre Haute found a dog in very bad shape Friday afternoon.

They say the dogs look like a Maltese but they won't know for sure until they get the fur cleaned up.

Animal Control found the dog chained in mud, shivering and with matted fur.

They seized the dog and the owner was cited for animal cruelty.

Jerry Arney with Animal Control says the dog is extremely friendly but in general poor health right now.

"The dog's long hair is similar to a Maltese or Poodle," said Jerry Arney. "It was completely matted to the point where it couldn't put any weight on one of its hind legs."

Arney says the other animals from this home will be checked on early next week.

He says if they aren't in better condition, they may also take them.
