Abused and Neglected Dog
On June 16th 2015 Ana Zarco turned over a small dog to the Madera Animal Rescue Shelter. The dog’s muzzle had been tightly wrapped with rubber bands severing the skin. The small dog had surgery and is making a full recovery and is being fostered with his adoptive name, "Harry".
Ana had fabricated a story about locating Harry at a local park. After conducting an investigation, it was discovered that Zarco was in possession of Harry for over two months and one of Zarco’s young children placed the rubber bands around Harry’s snout. The child is not of age to face criminal charges. It is unknown when the rubber bands were placed on Harry. Zarco stated she did not realize Harry’s snout was wrapped in rubber bands; Zarco said she took the dog to the shelter because she didn’t want it to die. The Madera Police department will be requesting animal abuse and neglect charges against Zarco.
