Dedham's Aminal Rescue League Receives Abused Dogs From ASPCA

DEDHAM, MA - The Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham office showcased several dogs received this past week from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that were removed from animal cruelty and neglect situations and are now looking for loving homes.

“I am extremely pleased that ARL is able to assist the ASPCA, a wonderful partner organization, with these animals who came from difficult situations,” said Dr. Edward Schettino, ARL President and CEO. “Through this collaborative effort, these dogs will be able to find loving homes where they can thrive for years to come.”

ARL’s shelter medicine team has given each animal a thorough veterinary exam, and the dogs have also received behavioral evaluations.

Waggington

Waggington, a three-year-old pup, came to the ASPCA through its partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) in February of 2022 as part of a criminal investigation with a suspected knife wound to one of his hind legs. While in the ASPCA’s care, Waggington had his wound repaired and was treated for an ear infection and upper respiratory infection. He is a very social dog who is loved by everyone who meets him and he is ready to find his safe, loving home.

Agent, Keanu, and Link

Agent, Keanu and Link also came to the ASPCA through its partnership with the NYPD in January of 2022 as part of a criminal investigation. Agent is an energetic two-year-old lady who steals the hearts of everyone she meets. While in the ASPCA’s care, Agent was treated for a skin infection that has healed beautifully.

Keanu is a sweet and social girl who is a little older than a year. She was mildly fearful when she first arrived at the ASPCA but has since become quite the social butterfly.

Link, an approximately five-year-old pup, is a social and confident dog who had a sparse hair coat and dental disease when he first arrived at the ASPCA’s Animal Recovery Center in New York City. Now that his hair coat is filling in and his teeth have been freshly cleaned and treated, he is ready to find a safe, loving home.
