Hauppauge's SCPA Asks for Help to Save Emaciated Horses

The Suffolk County SPCA, located in Hauppauge, announced that it rescued two emaciated horses from a Center Moriches location Thursday.

Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk County SPCA, said that the organization received a complaint that the horses were emaciated.  

An investigation determined that the horses, one of which is a thoroughbred, were thin and had no feed or hay. In photos provided by the SPCA, the horses ribs and hip bones were seen protruding outward.

The horses were signed over to the SPCA by the owner July 22 and currently being fostered, the organization said.

However, the horses require veterinary care and are in need of a permanent home. 

The Hauppauge-based SPCA is reaching out to the public for donations to help defer the cost of the horses' care and temporary fostering. 

If interested in adopting one or both of these horses, call the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722.
