Surviving Pitbull finds a Forever Home
On January 6, 2008, SPCA Law Enforcement officials were called down to Yonkers after two male pit bull dogs believed to be 3-5 years old, were found discarded in a Dumpster at 102 Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers, N.Y.
One of the dogs was badly injured with multiple fresh puncture wounds and suffering from major blood loss and extreme exposure. The other dog was dead and in rigor mortis state. Both dogs are believed to have been used as bait in pitbull fighting.The surviving pitbull, who is now named Oscar, warmed all of our hearts with his sweet nature and willingness to trust. After weeks of care, thanks to all of our staff and volunteers, we are happy to announce that Oscar has been adopted and is loving life in his new, forever home!
SPCA Humane Law Enforcement Officers are still conducting an investigation and seek the public's help with any leads. Tips may be phoned into the SPCA of Westchester's 24-hour hotline at (914) 941-7797. All calls will remain confidential.
Help us bring these abusers to justice by making a contribution to the Reward Fund and towards the cost of the veterinary rehabilitation of Oscar.
DOG OF THE MONTH!
 Gemini is a 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who injured her leg jumping around in her run and had surgery to correct it. She is healing well, but if she goes back to the shelter, she may do it again in her eagerness to get the attention of people that come to see her. Gemini is currently living with a foster family and they can't say enough good things about her. She gets along with most dogs and has befriended the family cat. She is very intelligent, extremely affectionate and will spend hours snuggling if you let her. Gemini is housebroken, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands and is eager to please. She tends to be shy around men, but warms up quickly when she gets to know them. When there is nothing to do, Gemini is content to play with her toys. Her vibrant personality makes Gemini a joy to be with. If you are looking for a forever friend, Gemini is your girl.
