Two dogs were rescued in Divinópolis during an incident of suspected animal abuse on Thursday, the 1st, in the Nova Fortaleza neighborhood.
The local City Hall Animal Protection team found the animals and took them to the Temporary Animal Shelter Center (CATA), where they received veterinary care.
Upon arriving at the scene, the team identified three dogs; two were alive, while one had already died. All animals were removed from the area and immediately taken for evaluation.
At CATA, professionals performed veterinary examinations. Initially, there was suspicion of poisoning, which led to an attempt to induce vomiting, but no material was expelled from the animals' stomachs.
During the evaluation, it was found that the dogs presented an extremely high body temperature. They received the necessary treatments to stabilize and reduce this temperature.
After the treatment, the animals recovered well, returning to their normal behavior, consuming food and water. They remain under the care of the Animal Protection team.
It is worth noting that no one was detained during the incident. The Divinópolis City Hall emphasizes that any suspected case of animal abuse must be reported to the Military Police or the City Hall Animal Protection so that investigations can occur and the animals receive prompt assistance.
