ANIMALS REMOVED FROM CLIFTON HTS RESIDENCE  ADOPTED OUT TO LOVING HOMES

Nearly two dozen animals removed by SPCA Cincinnati from a vacant residence in Clifton Heights in May were adopted on Saturday, July 18, at the SPCA Cincinnati Humane Center at 11900 Conrey Road in Sharonville.  

On May 11, 2009, neighbors of a home in the 2500 block of Vestry Avenue called the police about a terrible stench coming from the property. SPCA Cincinnati officers, Cincinnati Police Officers, and Cincinnati Fire Division firefighters paid a visit to the residence. SPCA Cincinnati Sgt. Brandon Corcoran discovered squalid living conditions and a total of 20 dogs, 2 birds and one cat. No owner could be found and the animals were filthy with a myriad of health problems. 

SPCA’s veterinary staff groomed, examined, and administered appropriate medical care as well as lots of TLC.  

The animals included:

• 20 dogs: small to medium sizes
• 1 cat: male domestic short hair
• 2 parakeets: will be adopted out as a pair

All the animals, except the parakeets, were spayed or neutered.  

Some of the animals have health conditions that will cause the animal to need ongoing veterinary care.  The adopters received detailed information about any health conditions. SPCA Cincinnati cannot provide the necessary continuing veterinary care needed and cannot be responsible for any costs associated with continuing veterinary care.
