LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The necropsy results are in for the skinned canines found dumped on Lakewood Avenue.
The Lima Police Department was called out to a home in the 2400 block of Lakewood Avenue, around 9:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve morning, after a person looking after the home while the residents were away found two dead canines. They were both skinned and left in the driveway. The person that noticed the canines told police that they were not there at 10 o'clock the night before when they were at the home last.

These cats are just waiting to find that forever home where they will be loved and cared for. There are curious cats, shy cats, adventurous cats, and cats that just sit back and take it all in. Each cage has a card for that furry friend that tells their disposition and when they were brought to the shelter. As a no-kill shelter, they are at capacity with cats and need to get them adopted.
An anonymous call on May 4th led authorities to a Lima residence in regard to a large number of dogs that weren’t being cared for. The SPCA found 9 adult German Shepherds and 13 puppies in cages. The owner of the animals was contacted, and they cooperated and did surrender the dogs.
