NEWARK, N.J (1010 WINS) -- The 10-month-old puppy who was sodomized in Newark and rushed to the hospital in near-death condition Jan. 16 is almost fully recovered.
"Kate" has been released from the hospital and is reportedly healthy, eating well and has become more at ease around humans. The Associated Humane Societies of Newark is watching over her for a week to complete oral medication prescriptions, and to re-socialized her with humans and other animals.
Kate, who was named for the veterinarian who saved her life, is ready for all necessary inoculations so that she can be adopted, AHS representatives said.
"She has become more friendly and animated. We want to ensure that she will not be fearful of human strangers," AHS' statement read. "It is our hope that this introduction to others will make her more friendly and confident as this procedure has worked very well with many other victims of cruelty that have come through our doors."
"She is a joy," AHS worker Debbie Beyfuss told 1010 WINS. "She is such a puppy, she's starting to play a lot now."
Anyone wishing to adopt Kate can go on line to www.ahscares.org and fill out an application form, contact the organization by e-mail at associatedhumane@aol.com, or send a brief note requesting an application to Associated Humane Society, 124 Evergreen Avenue, Newark, NJ 07114.
