Dogs Found 'Emaciated' In Nassau Home Up For Adoption

The two dogs who were recently rescued from the home of a North Massapequa father and son who were charged with neglecting them are now up for adoption.

Last week, Thomas Skuza and Thomas Skuza Jr. were both found to have deprived their two dogs, Romeo and Damian of necessary sustenance, food and water, the SPCA said.

Both dogs were found at their North Queens Avenue home by Nassau County SPCA Detectives. They were both"emaciated" with ribs, spine, and hips showing, the SPCA said.

In addition, they were dehydrated with sunken eyes and poor skin turgor, the SPCA said.

Romeo and Damian were immediately taken to an animal hospital where they were admitted for initial stabilization and supportive care.

Now, the SPCA announced that they are looking to find a loving home for the two dogs.

"They are the best of pals and it would be wonderful if you would open you heart and home to them so that they can live life full of love," the SPCA wrote in a press release.

If you are interested in adoption Romeo and Damian, you can call the SPCA at 516-THE-SPCA or email adopt@ncspca.us.
