LAUDERHILL, Fla. – A 28-year-old Lauderhill woman was arrested Thursday after police said her dog had to be euthanized after it was discovered living in deplorable conditions.
The dog, which Sunrise police said had been neglected for months, was euthanized due to the extent of its injuries.
McQueen voluntarily surrendered the dog to animal control officers, requesting that the dog be euthanized.
After examining Orey, officers found not one but two collars deeply embedded into the dog’s neck, cutting over an inch into the skin.
“The entire circumference of the dog’s neck had an injury with a strong odor of infection,” officers wrote in the report.
