Abandoned dogs in the care of the Niagara SPCA after being found by a hiker
The Niagara SPCA is caring for two dogs that were abandoned near Firemen's Park.
According to the SPCA, a hiker found the dogs around 10:00 a.m. this morning in open crates off the roadway at the very north end of Dorchester Road.
A third crate was also found, but it was empty.
The dogs, a male and a female, were found to be underweight and covered in urine and feces.
Animal Services brought the canines to the shelter to be cleaned up and assessed by medical staff.
The SPCA says the male appears to be a sheltie type dog, and the female is believed to be a wire coat terrier.
The female was unable to stand on her own while being bathed.
The crates were recovered by the SPCA and were full of fur, urine and feces and were attracting flies.
It is not known how long the dogs were in the area.
