The Santa Fe Animal Shelter says a woman brought her dog into the shelter, frozen solid, and asked for a new one.
The shelter’s executive director, Kate Rindy, said the woman and her family left town for a few days, and left the dog out in the cold to freeze to death.
In this case, Rindy said, the woman put the one-year-old terrier mix’s frozen body on the counter at the shelter, and asked to look for a new dog. Workers did not allow her to adopt another dog.
The woman who brought the frozen dog in could face criminal charges of cruelty and neglect.
