SNYDERTOWN – Many questions still remain from an animal shot to death outside Sunbury Tuesday night.
“We have no idea who did this. We just want to get the information out there to find the person responsible and have them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
That was Dr. KayAnn Busshaus of the Furry Friends Animal Clinic in Northumberland.
A dog named Denver was a rescue and recently got a new home on a farm in Snydertown.
Denver’s owner, Doug Gay, last saw Denver when he let him out with his two other dogs and went to Gay’s camper, “I walk back up to the house, and the two dogs went over to Denver who was laying there under one of the swinging chairs. And I thought he was stuck under the chair because he’s disabled. I went over and moved the chair so he could get up and that’s when I saw blood.”
Gay says he has neighbors who target shoot, so when he did hear faint gun shots, he wasn’t concerned, “My neighbors are always target shooting, so the gun shots are pretty much always there so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
Gay doesn’t think his neighbors shot the dog.
If you have any information on the incident, you’re asked to call Furry Friends Animal Clinic at 570-473-3875, Stonington state police, or the Danville SPCA. The Danville SPCA is in charge of the investigation. (Matt Catrillo)
