SAN ANGELO, TX – Two dogs In San Angelo are facing the fight of their lives after surviving an apparent intentional fentanyl poisoning.
According to the Concho Valley Paws, on Feb. 20, 2023, two dogs at the Riverbend estates off Ben Ficklin Rd. were taken to the Western Veterinarian Hospital after they were found unconscious. Once there, the vets found signs that the dogs had been poisoned by multiple substances.
The first is a common ingredient used to kill animals, ethylene glycol or anti-freeze. The second however was something not normally seen in poisonings, fentanyl.
In order to save the dogs, they were given Narcan. Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan among others, is a medication used to reverse or reduce the effects of opioids. It is commonly used to counter decreased breathing in opioid overdose.
Concho Valley PAWS is asking for the public to keep an eye out for any suspected criminal activity.
"Just like everything if you see something say something," said Executive Director Jenie Wilson. "This is a dangerous situation because it could be your dog or kid. We are asking anyone that knows anything to go to the police."
PAWS is also asking for donations as bills are pilling up. As of now the dogs are looking like they will survive. Wilson confirmed that the dogs will be observed for 48 hours. Once the 48 hours is up they will determine the extent of the damages on their organs.

PermalinkNo evil in the unborn either, but you don’t seem to have a problem with those making the CHOICE to kill their unborn child.

PermalinkMy problem lies with peoples' making gross oversimplifications of complex issues and then forcing decisions based on specious logic on others.

PermalinkPure evil. Not those desperate enough to think that is their only option, many suffering from lifelong guilt because of their decision, but definitely those who consider abortion (the taking of a human life) as simply a matter of “choice”.

PermalinkThis is one of those times when you simply amuse me with your self-righteousness.
I do not think you to be a bad guy, by the way... just thinking simplistically.
Peace.

PermalinkYou’re the one questioning I’m just explaining it in a way others might understand.
Sadly this is what our society has evolved (actually de-evolved) into. Unless poor innocent puppies are involved, some can’t seem to differentiate between “right” and “wrong” it’s all subjective.
