โœจ Moose Update โœจ

We saved Moose from being outdoors on his own for 19 days after an act of cruelty, abandonment, where he was emaciated, covered in ticks, the obvious - poor nutrition, as well as the unknown, from no fault of his own.

We have had a lot of people reach out about Moose and his progress, or how they can help. Moose has come a long way, gaining weight, becoming more confident, and thankful he is where he is, with a lot of love to give.

Weโ€™re excited to share that Moose has started 6 week board and train with Route 20 Dog Training to build his confidence and excel in all aspects of life. Heโ€™s already exceeded our expectations with the few days heโ€™s been there, but so ready and eager to learn. Please follow Sara for all the updates on Moose. Thank you to Ralph Nichols - property owner where Moose was found for always stepping in when the help is needed, and Sara for diving into Mooseโ€™s journey.

Missy's Doggy Day Spa, we will always be grateful for your support and readiness to jump right in last minute when an animal is in need.

Last, Friends of Charlton Animal Shelter - the backbone, to helping the animals that come through the kennel, that need vet care, basic care, food, and everything in between - without their support, a lot wouldnโ€™t be possible, and without your donations, a lot wouldnโ€™t be possible. So thank you to everyone who supports them to be able to support us!

But not least, our volunteers, who show up and treat the animals like their own ๐Ÿพ

This afternoon we were dispatched to the area of Charlton Oil on Sturbridge Road for a report of a stray dog that appeared to have a leash attached to it.

After a tremendous, successful effort, we were able to secure the dog, who was very apprehensive.

He appears to be an adolescent, un-neutered male. We have not received any calls of anyone missing their dog. We are letting him settle in for the night but will check for a microchip in the upcoming days.

If you recognize this dog๏ฟผ, please reach out to Charlton Animal Control 508-248-2398.

Thank you as always to my officers who are always ready to assist when needed, and the owner of Charlton Oil in this situation was ready to supply lots of McDonalds ๐Ÿ”
