Dog Poisoned in Gaithersburg
January 25, 2008
Gaithersburg, MD — Gaithersburg Animal Control officers are warning pet owners to be on the lookout after they believe a dog in the Kentlands community was intentionally poisoned.
An investigation found that Molly the pug had eaten two types of rat poison that was placed in her family’s yard on two separate occasions; once in November of 2007 and again in January of 2008.
Molly’s owners didn’t know how the rat poison got into their yard. They say they have had reports filed because Molly and their other dog, Roxie, bark too much sometimes and they’ve received anonymous letters about the problem.
Molly became deathly ill both times but was quickly treated and recovered.
Poisoning a dog is a criminal offense in Montgomery County.
Anyone with information on the poisoning incident is asked to call Gaithersburg Animal Control at 301-258-6343 or the Gaithersburg Police Tip Line at 301-330-4471.
