** Ex RSPCA employee and animal neglect **
Nicole C took Annie Dalton’s (her grandmother’s) dogs from 30th June 2021 to their house to care for them due to Annie going through Palliative care. Annie entrusted Nicole to look after her beautiful dogs due to her working in vet clinics and at the RSPCA over the years. Unfortunately Annie Dalton passed away in their care / home in January 2022. They took ownership of the two beautiful dogs since.
On the 27th June 2023 they decided to dump the dogs. They called the Onkaparinga council and advised they found two stray dogs in O’Halloran Hill and they were holding them at their address in Reynella. They the organised the council to come and pick them up. These poor dogs were held at the RSPCA shelter scared and traumatised. Nicole was happy they were like this to be euthanised. Her grandmother’s dogs (which were puppies from her old dog) 😢😢 the dogs have been severely neglected. She did not seek adequate veterinary care over the two years she had them. Teeth rotten and infected where they cannot eat. Both dogs are so under weight 😞 Vets believe Hollie & Kita most likely contracted kennel cough at the RSPCA shelter they were held in, as they were never previously vaccinated. Nicole knew they were never vaccinated. She also took her own dogs to the vets during the time they had Hollie and Kita (refer review below). This was her vet of choice as she used to work there. I confirmed with the vet clinic Nicole did not take either Holly or Kita at the clinic during the two years. Just disgusting 😡😡😡😡
