SQSPCA Assists with Tioga County Rescue, Will Provide Care for Two Underweight Horses

OWEGO—The Susquehanna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was among a handful of animal welfare organizations to join the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in the urgent rescue of more than 100 farm animals in Tioga County last month, including animals who exhibited signs of neglect.

At the request of the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office, the ASPCA helped remove cows, goats, and horses, including young calves, from a property after investigators discovered them living in poor conditions with limited access to food, water, or medical care. According to an ASPCA press release, some animals appeared to be underweight and were found living amongst filth, and at least one calf required urgent care. Deceased animals were also found on the property, officials said.
