Dog abandoned in Whitby finds new home

A dog that was rescued from an abandoned Whitby shed has been given a new home.

Bonnie Doucette adopted Jenny, a 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier that had been suffering from severe neglect.

“I was sitting at the breakfast table when I saw the picture. My heart ached,” Doucette said at the Humane Society of Durham Region on Wednesday.

“I figured we could give a lot of love to her.”

Jenny was found on Dec. 29, 2011.

“Her eyes were completely closed shut, she had blood coming from her mouth, she was severely emaciated, she could hardly walk, and her ears were infected. It was quite a sight,” investigator Debby Houghton told CityNews at the time.

Jenny has since recovered. Her treatment now requires daily eye drops, the only medication she needs. Doucette took her home, to join her dog and cat, on Wednesday.
