03/17/13: CAPONE IS ADOPTED!!!!

02/20/13: Capone Was Abandoned In An Apartment

Capone’s story is a sad one. What we learned from Animal Control is that Capone was left in an apartment by himself after his family moved out. By the time he was discovered he was very thin. He was taken to a Shelter on December 8th 2012 where he had been until one of our volunteers went to pick him up.

Apparently Capone’s “owner” was given the chance to claim him several times. They kept saying that they would come to get Capone but then never appeared. Finally, after more than two months at the shelter, an official letter was sent to the people stating they would no longer have a legal right to claim him if they did not come by a specified date. They never came. Animal Control called asking for our help and we made arrangements for one of our volunteers to get Capone immediately.

One look at Capone and you know that his physical care has been poor. He is currently with our Veterinarian where he is getting a thorough physical. He will receive whatever medical care he needs and will also be neutered. He will be going to his foster home after he is released from the hospital.
