Press Release: 13 horses in desperate need of help
13 horses in desperate need of help.
The Humane Society of Durham Region is appealing to the public for assistance.
At of the end of October we came into the possession of 8 horses and 5 ponies ranging in age from 6 months to 17 years. The animals were all in various stages of severe neglect.
The cost of care of these animals including board, veterinary costs, blacksmith fees and other miscellaneous expenses could be close to $7,000 a month.
The Humane Society of Durham Region is a registered charity and the costs associated with this investigation will be crippling to our organization. We have had our resources depleted severely over the past few months, due to a series of high profile cases and the numbers of animals we have helped.
We are asking for any assistance of monetary donations to help with the care for these horses, as well we will be accepting applications for these horses in the near future.
We really need help to care for these beautiful horses. They did not deserve to be so ill treated. They deserve a second chance!
The Humane Society of Durham Region/SPCA has of late been responding to the rising concerns regarding the animals in the horse racing industry in our area. There are also concerns for the lack of feed existing due to our recent summer,” says SPCA officer Debby Houghton.
Our organization is very concerned that this is just the beginning of what may be a disaster over the coming months, due to changes in Revenue Sharing Agreements between the Horse Racing Industry and the Provincial Government.
Please contact the Humane Society of Durham Region at 905-665-7430 for additional information.
There are some pictures and video of the horses at the bottom of this post.

"Jenny" Investigation: Why It Is So Important To Report Animal Abuse!
Why It Is So Important To Report Animal Abuse!
On December 29th, 2011 after receiving a tip regarding a dog that was being left in an unheated old shed unattended SPCA Officer Debby Houghton of the Humane Society of Durham Region attended an address in Whitby. At that time a small yorkie terrier was located in a cold unheated shed. The dog was found to be in horrific condition! The dog could barely move, and when it got up would fall over. The dog was emaciated, with major hair loss and with blood coming from its mouth. Both eyes were completely closed due to crusty pus. As well the dog had large amounts of pus and ooze coming from its ears. Taken immediately to a Veterinarian Clinic and examined the dog was found to be dehydrated, and with gobs of its fur in its mouth tangled around its teeth. When some of the fur was removed teeth stated to fall out. The dog’s nails were severely overgrown. The staff and attending Veterinarian, as well as Officer Houghton were horrified at the dog’s condition.
Since being at the Veterinarian clinic the little dog now renamed ‘Jenny’ has gain three pounds and is improving. The attending Veterinarian is optimistic and hopeful ‘Jenny’ will recover from her horrible neglect.
The costs that are required to help ‘Jenny’ are significant. The Humane Society of Durham Region is a charitable community resource. The Humane Society of Durham Region operates solely on the generorosity of the public. With any type of donations people are helping us to continue to rescue and protect animals.
The Humane Society of Durham Region is thankful that a tip came into the Investigations Department and illustrates that is so important to report animal cruelty and neglect. If the information had not been received Jenny would have died.
The investigation is now on going and charges are pending.
Please contact Officer Debby Houghton of the Humane Society of Durham Region Investigations Department Investigations for further information. Pictures are available below.
