The Rottweiler’s former owners will be charged with two counts of animal cruelty, according to the Monmouth County SPCA, which is now caring for the dog
Rescuers are caring for a 10-year-old Rottweiler they found left outside a house in Neptune Township, New Jersey, on a short chain with no food or water.
“Over the Christmas holiday, a sweet, senior Rottie named Coco suffered horrible neglect. When the pipes at her former owner’s home froze, they vacated and left Coco outside on a concrete pad, tethered on a short chain, and with no food, water, or protection from the elements. Coco spent 3 nights, in below-freezing temperatures — confused and alone,” the Monmouth County SPCA shared on social media.

Rescuers from the SPCA brought the senior dog to their shelter, where she got food, water, and plenty of rest. Bloodwork done by the rescue showed that Coco “may have kidney stones, as well as a genetic eye condition that affects her vision and is likely a result of careless breeding,” according to the Monmouth County SPCA.
Coco will stay at the shelter as she continues to heal. The staff describes her online as a “gentle, loyal, and loving dog.”
