Information Sought on Shooting of Chesco Dog

The Chester County SPCA is seeking information about the December shooting of a dog, the organization said Thursday.

A 7-month-old female pit bull terrier mix was brought into Glenmore Veterinary Hospital on Dec. 30 suffering from what was subsequently discovered to be a gunshot wound, the CCSPCA said.

The dog was treated at Glenmore for shock, the CCSPCA said, before being transferred to the SPCA. Exploratory surgery was performed at the CCSPCA, which is where the gunshot wound was discovered.

“Animal cruelty will not be tolerated, and we’re hopeful that the public can assist us in holding the perpetrator accountable,” said Adam Lamb, executive director of the Chester County SPCA.

The dog is now recovering in a protective foster home, the CCSPCA said.

The Pennsylvania State Police and CCSPCA’s Animal Protective Services Department are investigating the shooting. Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call 610-692-6113, ext. 213 or 214. Reports can be made anonymously.
