Cookie is looking for a *foster* home pending animal cruelty court case

She’s good with dogs, cats, and children.

If youre looking for a snort noise machine while you sleep, you’re looking at your girl.

She does have some medical issues … typical flat faced dog breathing problems, and some hind end weirdness .. most likely due to improper breeding. The goal is to keep her comfortable and happy while we wait for the court process. Please research what a foster home (rather than adoption) means prior to reaching out.

If interested, please email me [email protected] for a *foster* application

Joy is still looking for a foster home!

Joy was hit by a car, after being abandoned on 395. She has gotten two surgeries so far, but still has a very long road of recovery ahead of her.

I have attached xray photos of her legs currently. Her right hind leg is fractured, and is her main leg that needs to heal right now. Her left leg has torn ligaments, has had a ligament repair surgery, and has a lot of hardware stabilizing that leg so she can use it while her right leg heals.

She requires weekly bandage changed at Tufts. So a foster who is available to bring her to Tufts weekly, is required.

She has a strict exercise restriction, limiting her to short walks to go to the bathroom, and that it is. She must stay in a kennel, or small room, with no other animals, on strict rest to allow her legs to heal properly. Due to the amount of rest she needs, she requires a *quiet* foster home.

Due to the intense injuries and healing process Joy has, she needs to be in a foster home with someone who is experienced. She also cannot be left home for extended periods of time. Someone who works from home, or is able to bring her to work with them, would be ideal.

If you feel as though you would be a good foster fit for Joy, please email me at [email protected]

Ace is awaiting his neuter and vaccinations, but will be up for adoption within the next month.

I have been told he is about 4 years old.
He is a bouncy, happy boy, and loves to give you all of the kisses! He knows sit, and even knows paw!
He does seem to be dog reactive, so will need someone who is experienced, or willing to work with a trainer.

If you are interested in my boy, Ace, please email me at [email protected]

Trouble is looking for a *foster* home

Trouble was abandoned on 395 with his sister, Joy. They are siblings and have never been separated. The ultimate goal is to be able to get them in a *foster to adopt* home, together. However, Joy still has a long road ahead of her and needs special care. Looking to get Trouble into a foster home, until they can be back together.

Trouble is calm, gentle, and literally the sweetest boy in the whole world. I have been told he is about 7 years old. He has lived in a home with multiple other dogs, and does not seem to mind the dogs in shelter. He has also lived in a home with kids. I am unsure how he is with cats.

If you are interested in giving Trouble a temporary home, until his sister is ready to be with him again, please email me at [email protected] for an application

I can’t express the importance of reporting a situation that you feel may fall to animal cruelty or neglect.
These dogs had/have medical conditions including severe skin infections, extreme matting of fur, and hind end abnormalities. All dogs were without food and water, and most were not secured in a humane manner.
The dogs are all in foster homes at the moment and are not up for adoption at this time.

Webster Man Arrested on Animal Cruelty Warrant

On August 22, 2025 Webster Police Officers arrested Lehi Pichardo, 34, of 32 Ash St., Webster on a felony warrant for 9 counts of Cruelty to Animals.

On August 4, 2025, Pichardo was the subject of an investigation conducted by Webster Police Officer Joshua Collins and Animal Control Officer Desiree Roussin into the alleged neglect of nine (9) French Bulldogs at his residence. After a tip and subsequent investigation, ACO Roussin and Officer Collins discovered the animals living in very poor conditions both inside and outside of the residence. The animals were in poor health and did not have food or water readily accessible. The animals were not properly licensed and it could not be determined whether they were up to date on vaccinations. Pichardo did not possess the requisite kennel license to possess the nine (9) animals. As a result, the animals were removed from the residence by Webster Animal Control and Webster Police sought charges through the Dudley District Court.

The animals have since been and continue to be treated at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine and local Veterinary Hospitals. In between treatments, the animals are being cared for by Webster Animal Control.

Pichardo was arraigned at Dudley District Court and subsequently released on bail. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
