Red Hill Valley Trail/Greenhill Ave Exit Ramp
Found a puppy wandering on the ramp. Luckily the police were there doing traffic stops from the bridge. I flagged the officer and told him about the dog. No collar, looked young and emaciated. The officer & his partner were able to get the dog from the brush area of the ramp. Then a lady came round from the Trail and said she saw another dog in the brush just inside the park area. Looked lost, no collar. The officers called Animal Control immediately and we went in to look for the 2nd dog. They found her. Brought her back to their A/C vehicles until Animal Control arrived. They were both very sweet and sadly we think they were dumped. Animal Control will make sure there are not any other dogs out there in the Trail area. The 2 dogs were definitely related and Animal Control took them to the shelter. I, being a pet sitter, always travel with supplies in my car. I gave the officers a leash and a travel water dish and they had cold water and some pepperoni sticks to tide them over. I need to restock some dog food too. I really hope they weren't dumped but.... sadly, they looked emaciated. 😞 Animal Control Hamilton has them now and hopefully they'll find loving homes. The officers wanted to take them home themselves and so did I. ❤️ Good luck sweet babies.
